Pomeranian Dog Picture - Pomeranian History
Did you know the Pomeranian was once a much larger dog that weighed around 35 pounds? A cousin to the spitz type dogs, todays pampered lap dog was once at home in much colder climates along with Huskies and Alaskan Malamutes.
These tiny vivacious dogs were popularized by Queen Victoria who, in the late 1800;s brought a red sable Pom back from Italy. This little dog was named Marco and weighed in at 12 pounds which was small for this breed back then. It didn’t take long for Pomeranians to become a favorite lap dog and breeders worked at making the breed even smaller until they reached an average of 5 pounds as the dog is today.
The popularity of these tiny dogs spread quickly around the European upper class and the dog was soon bred down to it’s current size of about 5 pounds. Many of the famous favored the Pom including Michelangelo whose Pom would sit on a silk pillow while he painted the Sistine chapel, Martin Luther who mentioned his toy dog in his work, Mozart who dedicated and aria to his pet Pom and Chopin who wrote the Valse des Petits Chiens for his girlfriends Pom
