Pomeranian dog

The Pomeranian, a toy breed but a member of the spitz group of dogs, was bred down from the German grosspitzen (great spitzes). In the northern German state of Pomerania, mainly the white variety was bred to a smaller size. It was these smaller “Pomeranians” that was taken to England, where the present toy breed was developed. The breed came into prominence in 1888, when one was acquired by Queen Victoria. By 1900 the small variety then known as more then and less than 3.5 kg (8 lb). These early dogs, however, lacked the profuse coat seen in today’s breed. This dog is very small if compare with Foxhound dog, foxhound dog may have similar posture with Kelpie Dog

The modern Pomeranian is a short-bodied dog with a foxy head, a double coat, and a profusely feathered tail. The coat may be any of a number of colors, including sable, black, and parti color. Pomeranians range from 1.4 to 3.2 kg ( 3 to 7 lb) and about 15 to 18 cm (6 to 7 lb) in weight and ideally should be between 1.8 and 2.3 kg (4 and 5 lb) and about 15 to 18 cm (6 to 7 in) high at the shoulder.

The Pomeranian is a toy dog that resembles the larger Arctic sied dogs from which it is descended. Originally used as sheep-herding dog in central Europe and standing 46 cm (18 in) at the shoulder, the Pomeranian has been bred down to an average height of 15 cm (6 in).
