Pomeranian Dog Breed
The breed is thought to be a descendent of the Wolf-Spitz breed and is also an ancestor of other arctic breeds such as the Keeshond and the Samoyed. The main role of these dogs was as sledge dogs. The smallest pups from litters were kept as pets and bred together, and so Pom Dogs were born as a breed in the 1700’s. The average lifespan is around 11 years, but they can live for up to 13 years with the right diet, genetics and lifestyle. They usually grow to about 23-30 cm in height and weigh between 2 and 3 kgs in peak condition. Sorry, there are no photos at this stage. If you have a great example of this breed please email me at dr.caroline@hotmail.co.uk and I will put it up on the site!
