How To Buy A Pomeranian
If you are planning to buy a pomeranian then you might consider a couple of options.
First of all, you can look for one at your local animal rescue. You might not locate a Pom finding a Pom at an animal shelter is not likely so, but you can let them know what you are looking for and hope for a call.
The odds of finding a Pom at the animal shelter are not good so another option to buy a pomeranian is to look for one through a Pomeranian Rescue Service. Here you will be able to find a Pom that has been abandoned. A few of these Poms may have a few leftover “problems” from their former life (but not all of them) and you might have to wait a while before one that fits your criteria comes up, but it is a terrific way to get a loyal friend for life..
If it’s a puppy you want to buy, or you plan to show the dog, you probably want to go straight to a Pomeranian Breeder. If you do plan to buy from a breeder, make sure you use one that has the good of the breed at heart and not just trying to make a quick buck.
Breed Standard
When you buy a buy a pomeranian, make sure you know about the breed standard.
The Pom is a compact dog with a soft undercoat and harsh long outer coat. He has a plumed tail that is upright with the end laying flat along the back. His demeanor is alert and curious. With his fox like appearance, the Pom has a short muzzle with rounded skull, small ears and almond shaped bright eyes. The Breed standard allows all colors. The AKC standard size for a Pom is 3 to 7 pounds.
Once you get a buy a pomeranian home, make sure you provide him with the proper grooming so that he looks and feels good!
Pomeranians are easy to care for but do need some special attention. They can be easily groomed in less than 1 hour a day, but I am sure you will want to spend much more time than that bonding with your pet!
Teeth
It is important that your pet get good dental care. Pomeranians are prone to tooth loss and bacteria build up. If the bacteria is allowed to run unchecked, this can cause problems with your pets overall health. Luckily, maintaining good dental health is easy! Simply buy an enzymatic toothpaste that fights bacteria (your vet can recommend a good brand) and a small tooth brush (I use the one that has a loop that fits on my finger). Try to brush your dogs teeth every day. Have your vet do a dental exam once a year and scaling if necessary.
Fur
Brushing your Pomeranian every day is a good way to bond with your pet as well as insure his coat is healthy and looks good. Poms have a double coat that can easily become matted so brushing is necessary. A once a week – or every couple of weeks – bath is a nice way to keep your Pom smelling and looking good! Don’t forget to groom around his paws and tail area as well as clip his nails.
Eyes
Like most small dogs, Poms can have a buildup of discharge from their eyes that can cause a lumpy mess. This buildup can stain the fur and, although my Pom’s never said anything, I’m sure it must be uncomfortable. To avoid this mess, simply clean the eye area each day with a Q-tip. Be sure not to get too close to the eye as you don’t want to accidentally poke your pet in the eye!
