The Pomeranian is a small dog with a shoulder height of 22-28 cm and a weight of 2-3 kg. The Pomeranian is native to Germany and originated in the 19th century from an Arctic sled dog. Early Pomeranians were larger than today and most were white. Since the 19th century, they have been selected and bred to form the small, fluffy, soft-coated, brightly colored dogs of today. Today the Pomeranian has become more and more diverse. Of course the white Pomeranian looks more pure and is more popular and loved. On her deathbed, Queen Victoria had her beloved little Pomeranian named “Turi” placed by her bedside, and this little dog stayed with her until her death. The Pomeranian’s head is quite short, with a broad, flat skull, shaped like a fox’s head. The bronze eyes are oval in shape and the end of the nose is thin and wedge-shaped. The ears are small, just like fox ears, and the ears are close together, mostly erect. The body is compact, the front legs are straight and parallel to each other, and the thighs are moderately muscular. The paws are arched, and the feathery tail is thick and long, and is stretched upward onto the back.
