| Breed History | The Pomeranian, also known as the Pom, is a toy breed of dog that originated in the Pomerania region of Northern Europe. The breed is a member of the Spitz family and is descended from sled dogs from the Arctic region. It is believed that the breed was first developed in the 1800s, by breeding Spitz-type dogs with smaller lap dogs. It wasn't until the late 1800s that the breed was miniaturized, and this is credited to Queen Victoria of England, who fell in love with a small Pomeranian while visiting Italy. She brought back the dog and began breeding them for their small size. Pomeranians became popular in England and then in the United States. The breed has since become a popular companion dog due to its small size, playful and affectionate nature, and cute appearance. During the early 1900s, Pomeranians were often bred with other small breeds to produce even smaller dogs, leading to health issues such as patellar luxation and dental problems. However, responsible breeders have worked to restore the breed to its original size and to breed out any health issues. Today, Pomeranians are still a popular breed around the world, and are often seen in television shows and movies due to their cute and photogenic appearance. |
