Notes

The pomeranian, or zwergspitz ('dwarf spitz') as it's called in its home country, Germany, is the smallest of the german spitzes, and one of the most popular as well. They were originally kept as watchdogs, and even today many poms enjoy barking when strangers arrive.

Pomeranians come in a variety of colours, from pale creams to the wild-looking wolf grey, from black and tans to dazzling blues. Today, the breed is mostly kept as a show- and companion dog.

The breed should appear square in shape, well built with a good amount of coat. The head is wedge shaped with moderate stop and rather short muzzle. A slightly convex top of muzzle is desirable. The cheeks should be rounded. The ears are small, triagular and set high and close together. The neck is powerful and well covered in thick fur. The body should be short with a straight back, deep chest and only slight tuck up. The legs have slight angulation, with paws as small as possible. The coat is thick, long and hard, shorter on the face and frontside of legs, and longer on the neck and backside of the legs.
