Facts About Blue Pomeranian Puppies

By Melissa Roberts


The name refers to a particular breed of dogs under the Spitz family of dogs. In most cases, when referring to Blue Pomeranian Puppies and grown dogs, the shortened form Pom is used. The breed has its origin traced back to the north-west Poland and north-east Germany. This area is located in central Europe and is also called the Pomeria region. Due to their small size, this breed of dogs are also grouped as toy dogs.

It is a common belief that the poms descended from the larger types of the Spitz family. It is claimed that the German Spitz is the direct ancestor of the poms. In some pet clubs, poms are grouped as being members of the German Spitz. As a matter of fact, the poms are regarded as dwarf spitz in a number of countries. Former royal owners of this breed contributed largely to the breed gaining popularity. For example, Queen Victoria owned a pom around the 18th century which raised its popularity globally.

Physical wise, this breed is a very small dog. Their weight range is 1.9 to 3.5 kilograms. Poms stand at 5 to 11 inches tall. They have abundantly textured coats with sturdy bodies. Their tails are flat and set high. Their out coat of hairs form some sort of ruff around their necks. In fact, this is their trademark feature. Feathery hairs form on their fringes to describe their hindquarters.

Previously, poms mostly had white coats, with the exception of a few who had either black or brown coats. For example, the one owned by Queen Elizabeth had a brown coat. This coat color became fashionable in those years, especially the first years into the 19th century. Currently, they come in all sorts of colors. Such colors are orange, cream, white, brown and tan, brindle, sable, spotted, black, blue, black and tan, red, and brown. Also, a mixture of these mentioned colors exists.

The coat covering the bodies of pomerians is thick and double coat. The hair is easy to groom, but it is advisable to groom everyday to maintain the coat in good condition. Trimming after every 1 to 2 months is also advised. The outer coat is usually made of long, straight and harsh-textured hair. On the contrary, the inner coat is soft, thick, and short.

The coat on the body of a pomerian has two layers, making it thick. Grooming the hair can be done with ease, but to keep the coat in proper condition, daily grooming is advised. It is recommended for one to trim the coat every 1 to 2 months. The coat on the outside is lengthy and with straight coarse-textured hair. The inner coat on the other hand is short, thick and soft.

Naturally, Pomerians are a playful breed and are very enthusiastic with an easy relationship with their owners. Nonetheless, they are known to be hostile against other dogs when trying to make an impression. In the environment around their habitat, they stay awake to any changes that occur. Unwarranted barking is a habit common to them and it develops after a new stimuli is introduced in their environment.

A healthy pomerian has a life expectancy of between 12 to 16 years. Regular exercise and proper diet keep them healthy despite the likelihood of contracting a few health complications. Generally, the proper way for caring for them is through grooming.
