Dog Breed of the Week: Pomeranian

The Pomeranian looks like a cross between a stuffed animal and a tiny lion. Its distinct long, fluffy coat and bright personality make this an unforgettable dog breed. Poms are energetic and sometimes bossy little dogs with an intense loyalty for their loved ones. In the veterinary world, I have come across more than a few Poms who would not even let me get near their human companions. Owners of Poms need to take special care to ensure that their dogs do not gain the upper hand. This may be easier said that done, though. It's not easy to say no to that adorable smiling ball of fluff!

If you are the proud owner of a Pomeranian, then you know what I mean. These are precious dogs, but they are not for everyone. Poms are great for people who want a little lap dog that also has the energy to run and play, plus a bit of strong-willed spirit. What about your Pom? What makes him or her special to you? Tell us by sharing your story: talk about your Pom!
