The Pomeranian is a
Nordic breed
which takes its name from the
province
of Pomerania, now located in Germany. It
was bred down to its current 3 to 7 pound toy size
from larger ancestors which were used for herding
and for pulling sleds. Their popularity was greatly
enhanced by Queen Victoria of England, who owned the
first Pomeranians to be shown. Poms come in a wide
variety of coat colors and patterns. These spirited,
loving and loyal dogs excel in the show ring,
companion events and as therapy dogs in nursing
homes and hospitals.
