Breed history

The Pomeranian is a small, lively toy breed that originated in the Pomerania region of Central Europe, now part of Poland and Germany. Named after the historical Pomerania region, the breed was initially larger but was selectively bred down to its current small size. Pomeranians were originally bred as working dogs, herding sheep and pulling sleds, which explains their alertness and strong-willed nature. The breed gained royal favor when Queen Victoria of England took a liking to them in the 19th century, after which their popularity soared. Today, Pomeranians are cherished as companion dogs, known for their vivacious personality, fluffy coat, and endearing looks.
