The
Pomeranian (often known as a
Pom, or more humorously,
Pom Pom) is a
breed of
dog of the
Spitz type, named for the
Pomerania region in
Central Europe (today part of eastern
Germany and northern
Poland). Classed as a
toy dog breed because of its small size, the Pomeranian is descended from the larger Spitz type dogs, specifically the German Spitz. It has been determined by the
Fédération Cynologique Internationale to be part of the
German Spitz breed, and in many countries, they are known as the
Zwergspitz (
Dwarf Spitz).
Behavior

Pomeranians are typically a very friendly and lively breed of dog. They love to be around their owners and are known to be protective of them.
[8] They bond quickly with their owners, and can suffer from separation anxiety if not trained to spend time alone.
[9] Pomeranians are alert and aware of changes in their environment and barking at new stimuli can develop into a habit of barking excessively in any situation. They are somewhat defensive of their territory and will thus bark when they encounter any outside noises.
[9] Pomeranians are intelligent dogs, respond well to training, and can be very successful in getting what they want from their owners.
