Poms range anywhere from 3 lbs to 7 lbs. Although there are some poms that can get to be around 12 lbs. If you can go back at least 4-5 generations and all have been small you can almost bet your pom will be small. If there are any larger poms in these generations you may get a pom that weighs more.

All of our poms were very easy to house break, we took them outside every 1/2 hour to 1 hour. I know it is a lot, but they were all house broke by the time they were 3 to 3 1/2 months old. Tell them "potty time" or "Lets go potty" every time you take them out. Soon they will associate the words with going potty. It just depends on how much time you have to spend with your pom. If you do catch them going in the house point your finger at him and give him a firm NO! and take him outside. You must do this only when you catch him in the act. If you find a spot later it is not going to do any good to scold him. Make sure you clean the area very well. Never hit your pom.

We feed our poms Nutro small chunks and Royal Canin.

If you are getting your pup from a breeder, your pup should already have his first 2-3 rounds of vaccinations ( depends on how old you pup is) and his wormings. You will get a health record when purchasing your pup. You should always make an appointment as soon as you get your pet for a check up. Most breeders in their contract say that you should take your pup to the vet with in 72 hours, if anything would be wrong then the breeder can make it right if it was due to something on their part. If you do not make that appointment and something should occure that was due to the breeders part, you will be out of luck as you did not take the pup for a check up in the alotted time..

When your pup is 3 months of age it will need to have it's rabie vaccination . That vaccination will be good for only 1 year. After that year is up you will need to take him back for another rabie vaccine. That one will be good for either 2 yrs or 3 yrs, depends on which vaccination the vets use,. Most are 3 yr, but some still use the 2 yr.

You can carry him around some, but best to let them have some exercise. When carrying your pom make sure you are not squeezing him or that he can jump from your arms and get hurt. Do not leave him on couches or chairs when he can jump off and get hurt. They have very small bones and can break easily.

You know you should never take any pet into markets, salons etc. It is ok to take them to their groomers, vets, walks, parks (proving their vaccinations are UTD). Places like PetCo let pets in their stores. Most are pretty much limited. Keep them away from fairs, stock car races and any Fourth of July outings etc... where there are fireworks or loud noises.

We do not feed our poms table scraps.

Edit: I believe the person above me is talking about American, English and Australian clubs and pedigrees.

You need to get to a library and get a book on Pomeranians before you go out and buy one.

And check out www.petfinder.com - there are so many pets that NEED homes!

1. Poms don't get very big.

2. It is difficult to housebreak them, but not impossible. (Females are easier to train than males)

3. I feed mine Kibbles and Bits.

4. You should take him to the vet soon after you get him, and maybe 2-4 times a year afterwards.

5. Of course you can carry him around. :)

6. Most places won't allow pets, but there are some select places that let you take them in as long as you hold them.

7. I personally would not feed them table food, because it is near impossible getting them to eat regular dog food afterwards.

he will get to be about 15 lbs unless he's a toy breed...it's only as hard to housebreak an animal as the owner makes it...if you are careful to take it outdoors each time it wakes or right after eating, it won't take long for him to know what going outside means...you can feed any kind of food for puppies or you can make your own dog food from ingredients listed on any package of dog food...only you won't add the preservatives and it will be much better for your dog and it will be almost like eating people food to you, but made especially for him...it's easy, and more like making a meal for your family...the puppy should have already had a vet visit for its 1st shots...and after that, the vet will suggest how often to visit...he/she will know if your dog has any reasons to be seen more or less often than regular visits...of course you can carry him around...but it's best to leave him home if you're going shopping...it can get too hot/cold when left in a car and not all places allow animals inside...if you're only going to a store like petco or petsmart where animals are allowed in for sure, then you could take him along...otherwise, it's best to train him to stay at home...if he does damage to your things, get a crate and train him that he stays in it while you're not home...it's not a mean thing to do and it saves you the worry about what you might find destroyed when you get back home...good luck...

Shouldn't be more than 10 pounds.

Take him to the vet within a week. Healthy dogs usually just get a once a year checkup.

You can carry him...but dogs like to run around and be dogs-even the tiny ones. You don't want to run and pick him up every time he seems upset though-it will only reinforce bad behaviors and may cause him to develop separation anxiety.

Most places don't allow any animals except service dogs. Pet stores are almost always the exception.

He can be allowed a table scrap here and there depending on what it is. For his own food, you can find something formulated for small breeds, or says "small bites". Choose puppy, adult, or senior food accordingly.

I think you should have done more research on the Pom's before you buy one!!!!!!

The Dog I am getting is a Pomeranian?

hi there I own a Aust Pom are you getting a Aust Pom, American Pom or a English Pom

here is some info

Breed Group: Toy

Weight: 3-7 lbs

Height: 8-11 inches

Color(s): all colors and patterns allowed

Coat: The Pomeranians long double coat requires brushing at least once weekly. It is important to lift and part the top coat and brush the cottony undercoat as well. This will reduce shedding. Frequent brushing can damage the coat.

Overview: The Pomeranian is lively and eager to learn. They get along well with other household pets if given a slow and proper introduction. They make wonderful companions for families with older, well-behaved children and the elderly.

Character: The Pomeranian is a compact, active toy breed. They are intelligent, extremely loyal to their family, and loving. They are eager to please, gentle, and affectionate. They also exhibit an inquisitive expression and curiosity.

Temperament: The Pomeranian is confident, commanding, and outgoing. Due to the Pomeranians small stature they are not recommended for homes with small children as they may become temperamental. They make excellent guard dogs and will sound a bark when they sense danger.

Care: In addition to grooming it is important for Pomeranians to receive excellent dental care. They are prone to tooth loss; so regular cleaning is a must. Dry food is recommended to aid in keeping teeth and gums healthy.

Training: Pomeranians respond best to firm commands and are quick to learn. They are easily trained in obedience. Their barking must be controlled or they will do so incessantly. They may be difficult in housebreaking, but with consistency and praise do very well either going outside or in a litter box.

Activity: The Pomeranian requires short walks and play time with other pets and family. They have the capability to learn tricks if done with patience and time. They may become bored if they are not given enough to do. They are excellent for apartment living and homes with small yards.

Ownership: If you are looking for Pomeranian puppies for sale from reputable Pomeranian breeders or to adopt a Pomeranian from a Pomeranian rescue then make sure you understand as much about the dog breeds you are interested in as you can. Every puppy breed is different. Begin your research by reading the breed information about the Pomeranian puppy above.

It reads as if you know nothing about dogs for starters or most of your questions would have been answered. How old are you? Is someone going to be home all day and evening?Poms need lots of exercise. Mine happens to like to play outside with a careful eye from "Mom". If you are "thinking" of getting a Pom from a pet store, DON'T! Poms can have many genetic problems. If you don't know the history of that puppy you could be buying a lot of Trouble. I feed Pedigree Puppy dry. One needs to be VERY careful about Pom's food or you will have an additional vet bill. Poms have very delicate digestive systems. Mine gets a tiny bite of cheese on occasion for praise as well as verbal praise all the time. A squirt bottle of pure, clean water works wonders. Mine also loves Dingos and Greenies and Puppy Milk Bones. She gets NOTHING that has sugar in it. Poms are very proud and strong willed. You will even need to be more so. Around 3 mos. you will need to get into "Puppy Socialization". Then an Obedience training. Poms have no idea they are little dogs. They believe they are big dogs. I would suspect your local humane society or dog pound will have a very nice dog to be adopted and you will actually be doing a great favor to the dog world
