Pomeranian Rescue - A Great Place To Find A Pet
May 8th, 2008If you are thinking of adopting a Pomeranian, then one place to start looking is at a Pomeranian rescue association. This way you can get an older dog that needs a home, but might also have the hard part of training already done for you!
A very loyal breed, Pomeranian dogs are smart and eager to learn. On the other hand, they can sometimes be bold, willful and temperamental. You must train your Pomeranian firmly to let them know who is boss or they could end up ruling the roost.
The Pomeranian is perfectly suited for the show ring and also as a pet due to it’s affectionate nature and docile temper. Showing exceptional independence for a small dog, the Pomeranian has an alert and curious personality. It is the ideal dog for apartment dwellers. Though very active indoors they do not need a yard to be exercised.
Like any other breed the Pomeranian has health issues it may be prone to including skin problems, eye infections, slipped stifle, dislocated patella and heart problems. Poms can have problems with their teeth and gums so good dental hygiene is a must.
