Pomeranian Puppy Training Information

Pomeranian?

I am looking to buy a pomeranian puppy. Does anyone have any experiences, warnings, information, etc., I should know about them before I get one? Also, do they bark a lot? if so, can they be trained well? Thanks!

With training and socialization they are great dogs. They need to be socialized and trained just like any other dog. Get into a class and get them socialized.
When they hear a noise they do bark quite a bit. They can be barky.
If you are persistent and follow through they can be trained well. You have to follow through and be persistent with any dog.
Keep away from pet stores, puppy mills and back yard breeders, people that advertise in the news paper.
You can check shelters, pounds or a rescue for dogs/puppies if you are interested in getting one from there.
Visit a dog show and speak with the people there when they are finished showing their dogs.
Look for a reputable breeder who breeds to better the breed and checks for genetic conditions.
They do come in an array of colors. The most common being orange. The akc standard for pomeranians is 3-7 pounds. They do shed.
Some things to learn about are hypoglycemia, retained baby teeth, grooming and keeping nails proper length, hypothyroidism, luxated patellas, collapsing trachea, reverse sneezing, hip dysplasia, heart conditions in dogs.
This is just a start on things to learn and know about. Read some books on them and find a good breeder who cares about bettering the breed and doing genetic testing on their dogs(such as OFA, Cerf, Pennhip).
Good luck to you. :)
