T
he Pomeranian doesn’t realise how small he actually is. In his brave heart, he thinks he can
take on much larger dogs. But overall, this is a loving and intelligent dog who is eager to
learn, he is friendly, has a lovely temperament and is a happy-go-lucky companion. He is also very
curious and a loyal dog.

I
f you have a small apartment and want
a lap dog, then you can consider the
Pomeranian, but make sure that you take him
for frequent walks. A small garden where this
furball can play is a bonus, as he is a bouncy
dog full of vivacious energy. If you stay in a
complex you need to keep in mind that the
Pomeranian has a high tendency to bark.

T
he Pomeranian is ideal for older
people who spend much time indoors
and who want a small dog who they can
handle and take care of. Some senior people
enjoy grooming a longhaired breed as it is
therapeutic. As a walk in the park is good
enough for the Pomeranian, most people can
handle that level of activity, but do keep it in
mind when looking for a new dog.
