Book Description
Pomeranians are one of the toy breeds, but they pack a lot of personality into those little frames. With an appearance like a stuffed toy lion, it is easy to see why they have been so popular for so long. Their intelligence makes them incredibly entertaining to train and great companions.

These inquisitive little pups make fantastic watch dogs, even if their size makes them bad guard dogs. Most of the time they will be content to play with you or lounge around with you after a long day. Moderate exercise is absolutely essential for this toy canine, but because of the small stature, long walks are not necessary. A nice 30-minute walk or some dedicated indoor play time is all that is required to keep them fit and healthy.

This guide will walk you through the in's and out's of owning this phenomenal breed. Whether you're someone playing with the idea of getting a Pom, or have already embarked on your journey with your pup, this guide will offer an insight into how to create a happy and fulfilling life for you and your Pomeranian. This book will answer all your questions such as:

Is a Pomeranian the right dog for me?

Pomeranians have a fairly long history, and many famous people throughout history favored this adorable little canine, people such as Mozart and Queen Victoria.

Owners prize the breed for its fun personality, keen intelligence, and hardy constitution. The opening chapter of this Comprehensive Owner’s Guide is dedicated to the history of this breed, tracing its origins from the Peat Dogs of the Stone Age to its rise to favor in Victorian England to its spread throughout Europe and modern-day England. The chapter on the breed’s characteristics paints a portrait of this affable, attractive dog, ideal for a family with children, that requires very little of its owners other than grooming, exercise, and lots of love. This full-color edition, written by British dog expert Juliette Cunliffe, is the only book currently available on this terrific companion breed. New owners will welcome the well-prepared chapter on finding a reputable breeder and selecting a healthy, sound puppy.
