Thank you so much for sharing. I love your story. I've thought of fostering Pomeranians but, I fall in love too easily and would end up keeping them all. Pomeranians are special and can turn the lease likely person into a small fluffy dog lover. My uncle who has would in construction his entire life just lost his beloved Pomeranian that he had for over 15 years. That little guy when with him everywhere. Pomeranians are some of the best friends I've ever had.

Wow I love that your a foster group. How can I support?

I know what you mean. I used to foster dogs and they asked me to foster a kitten. Game over. That kitten is now 4 years old and she thinks she runs the house. I told them I couldn’t do cats because I would end up with a house full of them. I would be the same with poms too. 😂😂

@@frmdaway Lookup rescue groups in your state. Even if you can’t foster you could donate or volunteer. I’m from Arkansas and because we have so many rural areas we have a big problem with dogs and cats needing homes. So we have several rescue groups here. Alot of people in rural areas don’t get their pets spayed/neutered and they let their animals roam free so once they have babies it’s not uncommon for them to put them in a box, come into town and drop them in a parking lot or on the side of the road. It’s so sad.

I also foster failed a female Pom 1yr ago. She was found wandering the streets with bald patches a scabs over her. She's now got a beaut🎉ginger coat, and gets on great with her sister, a Jack Chi. I think she's the most affectionate dog I've ever had. Definitely appreciates how good her life is now ❤

They are the best of buddies. Yes, mine also go from sleeping to the zoomies!

I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a best friend like this is one of the most challenging things in life. It can sometimes make you question if putting yourself through the pain of loss is worth it. It always is though. The years of love and joy that these little fluffy buggers bring is worth it. The stronger the bond and love is the harder the loss feels. Healing and grief takes time and never completely goes away but, remembering the good times helps and will start to overshine the sadness. When you are ready a new fluffy friend may also help you heal. Thank you for sharing.

I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. I lost my 11 year old black greyhound Revan on 12/28/22 and it broke me in more ways than I can explain. He was my child. His two brothers, Tyrion and Gendry, both greyhounds, kept me going through the hardest of it. My fiance and I decided to get a pomeranian puppy, Inder, who was born three days after Revan passed. He's a black pom with a little bit of white, exactly the same as Revan. He brought a bit of Revan's light back into our lives. I hope you meet another dog one day who will remind you of your beautiful pom. Revan is in his spot in the sun, in a beautiful urn, with his pawprint and fur as well, surrounded by an indoor garden. They're never really gone, not if we don't let them go.

Sorry I lost my last dog like this I now have two poms and wondering weather to have a litter before she gets netted what do you think I would love to give you some comfort of this kind with a pooch take care.

Lol! Pomeranians are so special! They are the best companions in my opinion.

@@allaboutpoms I agree 100% ❤️ wish I would have got one sooner

Omg! I love the story about him faking his leg injury to get more attention. He sounds similar to big cream boy Murphy. Super loving and needy as well as being major watchdog. He comes across as a dufus at times but, then can read body language clues about simple things. He can understand the words camping and camper if we say them he starts to lose his mind and climbs up on the windowsill to see if the camper is outside. I think people can easily underestimate how smart Poms are still they look like stuffed toys. They are awesome dogs! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing! These dogs are such a blessing and add so much joy, love and stress relief to life. I told my husband I'll never spend a day in my life without Pomeranians. My boys are super cuddly more so compared to the ladies. They did mark and hum a bit until they were neutered. Luckily, it did help for us. I am so glad you little guy has been a wonderful addition to your life. Thay really can make a difference. I love this community of Pom lovers. It's great to share all of the fluffy love. Don't worry about your spelling anyone that can speak more than one language is amazing!

Congrats on your new family member! When we got Murphy we were able to sit with a bunch of puppies to see which one we wanted. We were already drawn to the one cream puppy and could tell by his pictures that he was timid and sweet. Now he's a watchdog but a huge cuddle bug. Our female is the boss. Lol

So adorable. My males are super clingy especially my cream pup Murphy. He will follow me around with a toy in his mouth asking to cuddle.

Thankyou for commenting! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, I love that. The boys are court jesters and the girls are referees. My boys are very light hearted and almost doofus like although they are smart. Our female is always watching what is going. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yes been the Same for me

They are really life changing animals! Pet loss is one of the worst things to ever experience we have two elderly cats that I am dreading the loss of. Hopefully they will have some more years. The companionship and love of a pet is the same to me as a person. Hopefully you will have a new pom baby in your future!

Me too! I've become obsessed with Poms. If I see one in public I have been known to be a crazy lady.

It can be challenging if they haven't been trained. These smart little buggers can find themselves into mischief. Lol. Regardless they will be the most loyal little friend. Congrats on you Pommy!

So cute! I adore them and can't get enough of these fluffy little dogs.

They really become our best friends. That's exciting that you are meeting some new pups. You will end up with that special pup that tugs at your heart the most. Our cream male Murphy looks handsome in a hot pink harness!

So true, everywhere they go. Sniff and squirt.

Oh yes, most of mine often get big dog syndrome. It can be bad since we have two German Shepards next door that are aggressive. They all storm the fence in between our yards. They are also the sweetest dogs I've ever had.

Isn't it funny how each dog is different but, there are so many similarities among the genders. We have found two of our dogs from the AKC marketplace. It looks like Oregon currently has two breeders with pups marketplace.akc.org/puppies/pomeranian/oregon?location=Oregon. The state of Washington has some too. marketplace.akc.org/puppies/pomeranian/washington?breed=201&location=Washington&page=1. Good luck with your puppy search. Also, be open to other states. My husband flew to NC and NY to get our last two pups (we live in florida). The price for the trip and puppy was less than if we had gotten one in state at the time. Prices can vary drastically to around 1500 to over 5K.

The males are more cuddly from my experience but, they are all so cute and loving!

❤

It's tough since they are such tiny dogs to begin with. I think like people every dog does have a different metabolism. Two of our dogs gain weight so easily and our biggest boy Murphy is always very slim. They are definitely not like big dogs when it comes to exercise. I agree that they will tire quickly and depending on the weather it can be challenging (too hot here in Florida for a lot of outdoor exercise). We have many people in our house, so they are slipped extra treats and human food which adds to our issue. In your case, my suggestion is to try a couple of things. I would measure out your dog's food and slip that amount up throughout the day. depending on your routine. Generally, Adult Pomeranians should eat a quarter (1/4) to one-half (1/2) cups of food per pound of their weight per day. I would double-check with your vet on what each dog's ideal weight should be to make sure it's the right amount. I wonder if they would enjoy puzzles where you hide the food and they try to get it out. For exercise, I would try getting some fun toys to try to get them moving. I have one dog that will chase tiny tennis balls when I throw them in the house. Even stuffed toys can work if they will chase after it. Even if it's for a couple of minutes you can do it often throughout the day to get your pups moving. When your dogs are hyper use that time to play and get them moving before you give them their food. I hope this helps a bit.

Thank you! Poms are really awesome dogs!

Pom and Pomeranian mixes are the best! Thanks for watching and commenting!

This is also very controversial with studies and statistics coming from both sides of thought. As always, I advise people to speak with their vet. I will update the content I share in the future if it is needed. Thank you for sharing.

My future pom is a female but I ended up choosing to eventually spay her because I’m afraid of accidental pregnancies. I’m very careful about supervision and catching problems with fencing and doors but accidents can happen to anyone…

We live in Florida as well and have gotten two of our Poms from Florida Pom www.floridapom.com/. I highly recommend them. They are currently co-breeding with another breeder that isl local in the state. Good Luck finding your new baby!

@@allaboutpoms ohhhhh 😇 thank you!

They are the most amazing dogs! Thank you for sharing and enjoy your girl!

Lol, this is too funny. Poms can convert a "big dog person" My dad no lives with us and was a self-proclaimed "big Dog Guy" he's had rotties, lab, shepards etc in the past. Well....his best friend is now my Duke. He is always by his side.

It's hit or miss when it comes to barking. My Cream Pomeranian Murphy is a guard dog and is most likely to bark. The other two don't bark as much unless they are triggered by Murphys reaction or or other dogs. Luckily, they are really smart and can be trained. Our Pups can go camping with us to strange campgrounds and be around other animals without being barking monsters.

You honestly can't go wrong with either. The are all amazing! How old is he? If he is under a year old his coat will go through many changes before he reaches his adult coat. Really young puppies only have a single coat of fur by the time they are a year old they start to grow in the adult coat and lose the baby fur. Most Poms look odd during this time. If your guy is older than a year old it could be that his undercoat is less dense than other dogs. My dogs Murphys coat is like this. His coat isn't nearly as dense and fluffy as our other two dogs. The good thing is his coat doesn't get matted as easily. Go for the one that you are most drawn to. You wont regret it.

@@allaboutpoms I got him!! I definitely do NOT regret it. He’s been so amazing, no accidents in the house he’s 3mnths old, he’s learning so fast. The first day he didn’t use the bathroom or eat or play the whole day... finally after 12hrs he peed n pooped outside and then slept during the night slowly he’s been playing more and more we have gotten a ton of toys and he plays with them all lol so the poms need a variety is right. Then being more intelligent is apparent. He is the best puppy ever. The reason I believe he’s a papillon Pom mix is because his ears are pretty big and stick up, he also is less dense in the fur department, also his nose is pointed a bit... however his mother has a more Fox like face, and her ears are not found but they are also not as prominent(plus the breeder breeds both breeds). Anyway, good luck with your babies and thanks for helping me guys, totally see why ppl have multiple. They were too intimidating for us at first but it’s wonderful!

I have had 2 male Poms..they are fantastic..you will NOT be disappointed.

That's too funny. Each Pom has it's own personality and will be unique.

@@allaboutpoms yes my female is bigger and more affectionate than the male. But still share similar pom traits

It honestly depends on the dog. I have one male that thinks he is the boss and the other will run in the opposite direction. Our female is always full of a sassy attitude as well.

LOL, the funny think is they are all different statures. My 4 pound Moxie would be huge at 10lbs but, my big guy Murphy is almost thin at 9 pounds.

I've only had un-neutered males or have waited a while to neuter them. The two boys I have now weren't neutered until at least almost two years of age. We only did it because they were started to mark around the inside of the house. One would do it and then the other would cover it up. This behavior did stop after they were neutered. I'm not sure about their maturity when it comes to their minds. I would love to hear others experiences too.

@@allaboutpoms Interesting! So where does that recommendation of having them neutered so young come from?

In my case they surely are. Our female is slowly coming around and enjoying cuddling more but, it's on her terms. The boys on the other hand get jealous and try to push the others out of the way for any attention they can get.

They were getting eggs and are extremely excited.

Oh wow! I wonder how big or small the litter mates are and other dogs within the bloodlines? Both my boys are on the bigger side at around 10lbs each. Thanks for sharing!

"In the wild, it’s the females that rule the packs. Females determine the pecking order, keep the peace and provide for the pack. This natural behavior does extend into our domesticated dogs." I was referring to wild wolves which are the ancestors of our current domesticated dogs.

When and if to neuter or spay your dog can be a controversial topic and a personal decision. As always, I would advise anyone to speak it their vet before making any serious and life impacting decisions when it comes to their pets.
