Pomeranian

October 7, 2022

Did you know that Pomeranians originally come from Iceland? Even so, these cute dogs get their name from the fact that they became a huge hit in Pomerania, a historical region of the Baltic Sea that runs between Germany and Poland.

Today, they are widely regarded as the cutest of all dogs, signified by their fluffy coat.

Fun Facts:

  • Pomeranians have long been one of the most popular dog breeds in the United States. In fact, they rank #14 on the Most Popular Dog list by the AKC.
  • There isn’t just one color of a Pomeranian. In fact, you will find an impressive 23 different color combinations when it comes to this breed, which is far more than any other type of dog.
  • As Pomeranians get older, they can actually change color. An example is a cream Pomeranian that will often become a mixture of brown and white as it matures.
  • Many classical artists have actually found a great deal of artistic inspiration from the Pomeranian companions. Mozart and Chopin are just two of many famous examples. For his part, Mozart had a Pomeranian name Pimperl that is rumored to have gone with him everywhere.
