The most popular types of pets are cats and dogs. Even citizens living in high-rise buildings are happy to give themselves room dogs. One of the most interesting breeds is the Black Pomeranian. It will be discussed in our article.
Where does the breed come from?
Many call this dog the favorite person of royal blood. This is true, because for several centuries she has been choosing for herself to know from different countries.
According to historians, in 1700 in Pomerania (the region at the junction of the borders of modern Poland and Germany), Spitz wolves were noticed - a kind of hybrid between a wolf and a dog. Presumably they arrived in this area due to natural migration from Serbia and Russia.
As recorded in the historical archives, due to the numerous "dog weddings" of these wolves and ordinary four-legged friends of man, a breed called Pomeranian appeared and spread throughout the world.
These ancient Spitzs served the man perfectly in many areas of his life and economy. They guarded houses, grazed cattle, carried vehicles in teams. This was possible because at first these doggies had an average body weight of fifteen kilograms. They had enough strength to drag forward special vehicles. Puppies that were born periodically with smaller dimensions were taken to live in a room with people. Colors then they were black, white, brown and cream.
In 1761, the crowned Charlotte, the wife of the English king George III, noticed such a cute little animal. She became interested in this breed, drew attention to it and was subdued by such a light and cheerful character, sparkling cheerfulness.Her Majesty took her two pets with her to England: a bitch and a dog (Phoebe and Mercury). They lived a long happy life next to their loving mistress. Painters of that time created a number of canvases that perpetuated royal doggies.
Features
These dogs are quite small, therefore they are called dwarf. Their life span reaches 15 years. Usually, males are slightly more massive and taller than bitches at the withers. Their weight does not exceed 2300 grams, height - 23 centimeters (males), girls do not reach 2 kilograms and do not grow more than 20 centimeters up. Color can have 12 options:
- the black;
- black and tan;
- brown;
- ginger;
- cream;
- white and other shades of color.
The muzzle of the Pomeranian Spitz is elongated, like a fox. They are stocky, with developed strong breasts. Medium sized ears stick up. The eyes are dark pigmentation, the nose can also only be dark. The paws are short, straight, stable. Thick undercoat, medium length coat. Your pet will always be warm, even in winter frost in the fresh air. The tail is fluffy and twisted into a bagel.
In the black representative of the breed, the nose and lips are not just dark, but saturated black. Wool "chernushki" does not allow any inclusions. If this happens, it will be a marriage. Sometimes the undercoat is brown in small puppies, but this usually goes away, although in rare cases the dog changes color from black to lighter after the first molt.
Puppies of black and tan color are marked with clear spots of different colors. It can be a bright red on the chest, legs, neck, or cream and fawn blotches.
Temper
This four-legged handsome is very cheerful and active throughout his life. Dog handlers recommend them for large families. Children will be especially pleased with his constant readiness to run and play and his light, non-malignant character. These are talented and inventive babysitters, even for very young children. For an adult, a Spitz will be a faithful and grateful companion.
But do not forget that This dog needs constant exercise and exercise. You will need to walk with them at least an hour and a half a day. If the owner does not have such an opportunity (due to employment, senile age or disability), then prepare for the fact that the pet will be naughty and "rage" in the apartment.
Spitz will be his favorite fun game with a stick and the aport team. It is highly amenable to training and has outstanding security qualities. At heart, Chernys considers himself a cool fighting dog and, getting involved in a desperate fight on the street, does not think about his modest size. In addition, he does not penetrate the rally with trust and love for strangers and will certainly not allow himself to be stroked at the first meeting without a special request from the owner.
Claims are often made that the baby barks a lot and is not the case. But these dogs are very smart, and almost always they try to convey some kind of information message to their two-legged friend with their loud voices. Negative moments of communication with a fluffy handsome man may be his stubbornness and arrogance. Because of this, understanding everything perfectly, he simply sometimes does not want and is not disposed to fulfill the commands of the owner. The most unloved - calls to freeze in a certain position (to sit or lie down).
Among other things, there is a sin behind these doggies - the desire to “crush by oneself” other pets living in the same house. They definitely want to dominate, to be the “coolest guys in the area." Despite the fact that a huge shepherd or St. Bernard will be a roommate, a black mini-spitz will certainly restore his order. It must be because of the centuries-old close friendship with the kings.
These animals need the world to revolve around them, and constantly. In order that this does not become an insoluble problem, it is not necessary to start a Pomeranian spitz first.He must grow up surrounded by his brothers, that is, to establish social ties as early as possible. If a dog came to you and immediately found himself among cats and other dogs, he will get along well with all his neighbors and make good friends with them. But if you bring a new roommate to an adult harmful fluffy, he will take it categorically with hostility and arrange rabid hazing on the territory of your apartment.
However, you don’t need to be afraid of such flaws in behavior, because all this is tripled compensated by the positive that these babies give generously and free of charge to their “big brothers”. Kids are very affectionate and do not like to be alone in the apartment. But when they meet you in the evening, they will rejoice to the fullest: they will follow you with the right tail, lie down on your feet while preparing dinner, will be escorted to the bathroom and the bathroom, sit on your hands and diligently watch TV with you for at least a long time . They’ll necessarily get laid by the owner’s bed, if he doesn’t let him go under the barrel.
Proper care
Before acquiring a dog of this breed, we recommend that you study all available information about them. These fidgets have weak teeth. In puppyhood, milk teeth leave problematic, because they have very long roots. In case of pain, an experienced veterinarian will help. Due to the small growth of the dog, special attention should be paid to the condition of the joints and ligaments. The loving and attentive owner easily notices when the baby begins to limp, and takes action.
Often there are problems with the gastrointestinal tract due to too good appetite. Do not overfeed the animal, otherwise problems can not be avoided.

If you take your little friend out for a walk in the wind or in the heat and stay on the street for quite some time, his eyes may begin to water. Since the Pomeranian is very active and also not as strong and tenacious as mestizos, you must always be alert and conduct a daily inspection of the little animals for damage, wounds, burns.
