Temperament and personality

Pomeranians are tiny dogs with big personalities. They are curious, confident, and playful, and most of them have no idea how small they are. A Pom will happily follow you from room to room, bounce around at playtime, and then curl up in your lap.

They are very alert. Poms notice every sound, visitor, and delivery truck, and they will tell you about it. That makes them good little watchdogs, but it also means barking is something you will want to manage from day one.

Most Poms bond closely with their family and love attention. They are smart and quick to learn, and they can also be independent and a bit bossy if no one sets gentle, consistent rules.

Is a Pomeranian right for you?

  • Live in an apartment, condo, or house and want a small companion

  • Are away from home for long hours most days
  • Are looking for a low-shedding dog because of allergies

Health: what to know

Pomeranians are generally sturdy for their size and often live long lives. Like every breed, they have some health issues worth knowing about. This is general information, not veterinary advice, so always talk with your vet about your own dog.

  • Luxating patella the kneecap slips out of place. You may see your dog skip or hop on a back leg for a few steps. Mild cases are often managed, while severe cases may need surgery.
  • Tracheal collapse the windpipe weakens and can flatten, causing a honking cough. Use a harness, not a collar, for walks, and keep your Pom at a healthy weight.
  • Dental disease small mouths crowd teeth, so tartar and gum disease are very common. Brushing at home and regular dental checkups help a lot.
  • Coat loss (alopecia X) sometimes called black skin disease, it causes hair loss and darker skin, usually on the body and tail. It is mostly a cosmetic issue, but your vet should rule out other causes.
  • Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) very small puppies can drop their blood sugar if they skip meals, get chilled, or play too hard. Feed small, frequent meals and watch closely in the first weeks.
  • Eye and heart issues some Poms can develop eye problems or heart conditions as they age, so routine checkups matter.

What to ask about the parents: ask whether the parents had their knees checked (patella evaluation), an eye exam, and a heart exam, and ask to see the results. A good source will answer health questions openly.

Call your vet right away if you notice: weakness, wobbling, or trembling in a puppy, refusing food, vomiting or diarrhea that lasts, trouble breathing or a cough that won't stop, limping that doesn't go away, or pale or bluish gums.

Pet insurance tip: consider enrolling while your puppy is young and healthy, before any condition can be labeled pre-existing. Read the fine print on knee and dental coverage.

Daily care

Exercise

Poms need about 20 to 40 minutes of activity a day, split into short walks and indoor play. Fetch down a hallway, short training games, and puzzle toys keep them happy. Don't let them jump off high furniture, which can hurt small knees and bones.

Grooming

The Pomeranian has a double coat: a soft, dense undercoat and a longer outer coat. Brush a few times a week down to the skin, and more often when the coat blows out once or twice a year. Never shave a Pomeranian. Shaving can damage how the coat grows back and removes the coat that actually helps protect the skin from sun and heat. A light trim of the feet and tidy edges is fine. Brush teeth daily if you can and trim nails every few weeks.

Feeding

Feed a quality food made for small or toy breeds, sized for a tiny mouth. Puppies need frequent small meals, and adults usually do well with two meals a day. Poms gain weight easily, so measure food and go light on treats. Ask your vet how much to feed.

Training

Start early with short, fun sessions and lots of praise. Poms respond well to reward-based training and shut down with harsh corrections. Teach a quiet cue early to manage barking. Potty training can take patience, so stick to a schedule and reward success. Many owners use a puppy pad or turf patch for rainy or very hot days.

Living with a Pomeranian in Miami

Heat and humidity: that thick double coat makes Poms sensitive to South Florida heat. Walk early in the morning or after sunset, keep outings short, and bring water. Test the pavement by holding the back of your hand on it for 7 seconds; if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for paws. Never leave your dog in a car, even for a minute. Watch for heavy panting, drooling, or weakness, which can signal heat stress.

Small-dog safety: Poms can slip through balcony railings, so check gaps and supervise on balconies. Birds of prey are rare, but supervise tiny dogs outdoors. At dog parks, use the small-dog area, since play with big dogs can lead to injuries.

For the Miami basics every dog owner needs, like hot pavement, parked cars, year-round parasites, cane toads and hurricane prep, see our Miami puppy care guide.

Colors and coat

Pomeranians come in more colors than almost any other breed. Orange and red are the classic looks, but you will also see cream, white, black, chocolate, sable, blue, wolf sable, beaver, brindle, parti-color (white with patches), black and tan, and merle. Merle Poms have a marbled pattern with patches of color and may have blue or partly blue eyes. Coat color often changes as puppies grow, so a puppy's coat may look different by their first birthday.

Merle needs responsible breeding, because two merle parents should never be bred together.

Bringing your puppy home

Your first week checklist:

  • Get supplies ready: a small harness, leash, ID tag, crate, bed, food and water bowls, toy-breed puppy food, chew toys, a soft brush, and puppy pads
  • Book your first vet visit within the first few days
  • Keep up the vaccine schedule your vet recommends
  • Feed frequent small meals and watch for signs of low blood sugar
  • Start a crate and potty routine right away, with trips out after meals, naps, and play

Pomeranian FAQ

How big do Pomeranians get?

Adult Pomeranians usually weigh about 3 to 7 pounds and stand about 6 to 7 inches tall at the shoulder. Size can vary within a litter, so ask about the parents' sizes for the best idea.

How long do Pomeranians live?

Pomeranians often live about 12 to 16 years. Good food, a healthy weight, dental care, and regular vet visits help them live long, healthy lives.

Do Pomeranians shed a lot?

Yes, they shed a moderate amount year-round and heavily once or twice a year when they blow their undercoat. Regular brushing keeps the hair under control.

Are Pomeranians hypoallergenic?

No. Pomeranians have a thick double coat and shed, so they are not a good choice for most people with dog allergies. No dog is truly hypoallergenic.

Are Pomeranians good with kids?

They do best with older, gentle kids who know how to handle a small dog. Toddlers can easily hurt a Pom by accident, so always supervise play.

Do Pomeranians bark a lot?

Many do, because they are alert and quick to sound the alarm. Early training, enough activity, and teaching a quiet cue help keep barking manageable.

Are Pomeranians easy to potty train?

They can take longer than bigger breeds, because small bladders need frequent trips out. A consistent schedule, crate routine, and lots of praise make it much easier.

Should I shave my Pomeranian?

No. Shaving can damage how the double coat grows back and removes protection from sun and heat. Brush regularly and ask a groomer for a light tidy trim instead.

Can Pomeranians be left alone?

Adult Poms can usually handle a few hours alone with water, toys, and a safe space. They are social dogs, so long daily absences can lead to barking and stress, and young puppies need more frequent meals and potty breaks.

How much does a Pomeranian puppy cost?

Price depends on color, lineage, size, and the health testing behind the parents. For current availability and details, contact us.
