Pomeranians are very loving and affectionate – they love people.
Pomeranians make wonderful pets. Extremely smart, and a joy to live with. Very loyal and protective of those they love.
They’re extremely protective and very affectionate – they make excellent watchdogs and are sociable. But they’re the cutest dogs ever!
I must say that I was a person who only liked big dogs until a sable colored pom came into my life. she is now the sun, moon and stars to me. she is the sweetest friendliest dog I have seen in a small breed. yet she warns me when someone is near. I would recommend a pom to anyone wishing a wonderful companion dog!
I have a little 2 yr. old Pomeranian. He is beautiful, and the most loving dog I have ever owned. he is a very good watch dog. VERY protective of me. He doesn’t require as much brushing as my yorkies.
The pom is gorgeous ( I’m looking for one). I had a black pom who was friendly to everyone except one of my uncles. He almost knew when my uncle would come he would go crazy and start running around the house.
Hi,
My name is Shira, I am OWNED by my new 10 week old, malE POM, "KAHLUA"… I posted his pic on the pom photo gallery, he is adoreable, has personallity all of his own like most poms do, He is cream/fawn with a little dark grey marking on his tail and and head. What type of food shoud I be giving him? The breeder I got him from had him on 4 different types of food mixed together all in one ziploc bag! I have had dogs all my life including a pom, I have never heard of such a thing! It’s dry food, and he HATES IT! I have to mashi it up and mix it with wet just so he will eat it. I don’t eant to try a million foods, he is a picky eater, any advice would help. It is nice to be here and I look forward to getting to know as many of all the pom lovers as I can… I live In NJ~ Nice to meet you all~
See you on the boards~

My Pom loves Wee Bits (I think that’s what it’s called) by Solid Gold. My Maltese loves it too. It is dry food, but dry food is the best, especially for the Poms who tend to have issues with their teeth. I used to only be able to get that at our local feed store but I’ve noticed they sell it at Petco now.
