Pom Poms!!

Chewi!!!!

Hey People! This blog, is a blog about all kinds of different breeds of dogs! I have 5 dogs myself and I am wanting to be a veterinarian when I am older, so that is how I was inspired to write this blog! Today, lets talk about Pomerainians or Pom Poms. Just don't try to wave them around too much! :) I have one named Chewi and he is your average Pomerainian. Did you know the original pomerainians weighed about 30 pounds and also sheep hearders! While today they only weigh about 4 pounds and definitely not the sheep hearding type!! WOW! BIG DIFFERENCE!! The person responsible for this dramatic change in the pom poms size and activities, was the one and only, Queen Victoria! She is the one who bred them down to size and started making them show dogs. It was this reason that this breed of dog became so popular in England. If you are going to have a Pomerainian, make sure you have a large, fenced in yard, and are able to spend quite a bit of time grooming them. These dogs need a daily brushing and make sure that you can deal with some shedding! The life expectancy of this breed is about 15 years, and will make those years some of the best of your life! However, this breed is prone to heart, eye, and knee problems, but overall it has good health. One thing that is SUPER IMPORTANT, is that you teach it not to bark at a VERY young age. You might not have a ton of luck though, the Pomerainian is a very yappy breed and I should know. Sometimes when Chewi goes outside and starts barking (he will not come in) he doesn't stop. We have actually got the police called on us 3 times!! This dog is eager to please you, but teach it at a young age, and you'll be fine!! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR POMERAINIAN!! I will try to post every Thursday, so make sure you come back and check out more wonderful dogs!
