There are several things to consider before purchasing any dog and just because a dog is small, don’t jump to the conclusion it will mean less work for you to maintain. Admittedly you will not need exercise as much or as often, but toy breeds often come with their own problems.

Owning a dog is not for everyone and the decision to own one should not be undertaken lightly. A dog is not a decoration to bring out and show off to company or a fashion accessory to make the owner seem macho or loving. A dog is a pack animal and should be treated like adding a new family member to your family pack in the same way you would plan for a new child in the family.

The answer is all our domestic dogs owe their linage to the Wolf so technically it can be argued that there are no true pedigrees save the Wolf itself.

Pomeranians are little dogs with “big dog” personalities. They are descended from the Nordic breeds which were once used to pull heavy sledges across ice and snow and although their size has been diminished, they do not regard their size as an issue.
