Advice on choosing a puppy, Papillon or Pomeranian?
Hi there everyone,
My family and I have been looking for a new puppy recently. We’ve been to view two litters, one of pomeranians and one of papillons, and we like all the pups equally so can’t decide which breed we should go for. I’ve heard that Pomeranians can be yappy and nippy which is something we wouldn’t really want. Could anybody who has experience of either of these breeds give me some information regarding their temperaments, training, grooming, and health matters? Any info would be much appreciated. We don’t have any young children in the family, we have a medium sized house and a VERY large garden, we also live directly opposite a large park. There is always at least one person in the house.
Thanks 
Pomeranians and Papillons are both beautiful dogs. As far as temperment, Pomeranians tend to be stubborn and bark a lot. They are very smart but like to run the house,LOL. They can be territorial too, and sometimes don’t get along with strangers.
Papillons are not as hyper as Pomeranians and tend not to bark as much. They are very friendly and smart.
With grooming, Poms need to be brushed everyday because their hair will mat easily. Papillons hair does need to be combed but it won’t mat as easily.
As far as health problems, they both tend to have the same, like heart problems, skin problems but these run in most small breeds.
They are both great breeds, but if you do not want a “yappy” dog, you might be better with a Papillon. You can look on the AKC web site and look up both breeds to read about their history and traits more completely.
Best of luck on whatever dog you choose. Hope I helped.
