Pomeranian Pic - Pomeranian History
The Pomeranians we know today weigh in at around 5 pounds, but they once weighed around 35 pounds and were at home in the arctic circle!
These vivacious lap dogs get their name from the province “Pomerania” which was located where Eastern Germany is now. Originally brought to England in the 1700’s, by Prince George III’s new bride, this larger version of the toy dog would not become popular until the late 1800’s when Queen Victoria who brought home a 12 pound Pom from Italy.
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.
Pomeranians have long and illustrious history. Michelangelo had a pet Pom that used to sit on a silk pillow and watch as he painted the Sistine chapel. The great church leader Martin Luther favored these toy dogs and mentioned them often in his work. Even Mozart had a pet Pom that he dedicated an aria to!
