Do Pomeranians make good pets?

Pomeranians are generally perky, friendly little dogs. Pomeranians are often good alert and alarm dogs and can be prone to excessive barking. They tend to be good with children, but children need to be cautioned that these are small dogs and not as sturdy as the larger breeds.

Does Pomeranian shed a lot?

In addition to the puppy shedding phase, Pomeranian shedding also occurs year-round. This year-round shedding is normal, and is relatively in-line with the shedding of an average dog. However, due to their full, long coats, it often seems like Pomeranians are shedding more than other dogs.

Does a Pomeranian bite?

Your Pomeranian may be play biting because they are getting wound up and frustrated. So make sure they have a secure place they can escape to. It may seem disconnected, but your Pom may be biting because they simply have so much energy to get rid of when they play.

Are Pomeranians hard to potty train?

Toy breeds like the Pomeranian can be a little harder to potty train because of their small size. Small dogs have small bladders, and they need to eliminate more frequently than larger dogs, so house training requires more vigilance from you.

Do Pomeranian dogs smell?

There is usually not enough to make a Pomeranian smell bad. However, the actual number can vary from time to time, and when the coat gets wet (and particularly if the number of yeast and/or bacteria is a bit high), the water can displace these microbes enough that you’ll start to smell them.
