Standing an average of 8 to 11 inches and weighing between 3 and 7 pounds, Pomeranians are courageous dogs that come in a very small package. Pomeranians enjoy human and canine companionship, which makes them one of the most popular toy breeds. Loyal and protective towards their owners, Poms are good pets for all types of families under the right circumstances. Because of their small size, Poms can thrive in a busy atmosphere in a house or apartment - in the city or country. They can even be superb watch dogs due to their alertness and loud, sharp barks. However, the lack of training can lead this breed of dog to bark excessively without direction.

Having a pomeranian companion can bring great joy. Their bubbly and inquisitive personalities make them a great addition to many families.
