Just would like to hear from other Pom lovers. I adore this breed. Out of all the different breeds we've had this one is my favorite. Very loving,snuggly little dogs. I couldn't ask for a better companion. And after raising three boys, I finally have my girl!

I became attached to this breed about 21years ago. I was on a ski vacation in New Mexico. After a day of skiing, I was in a shopping mall and I saw a fuzzy little head bouncing out of the top of a basket in a pet store. I stopped in and asked the lady in the pet store what breed this was. She told me Pomeranian. She asked me if I would like to purchase the dog. I replied that I was on vacation and It would be better if I located one when I returned home.  When I returned home I started searching and located my Maggie I have been hooked on Pomeranians ever since. I had her for 14 years and she passed away. I found I couldn't go without  my Pom and I now have had Prissy for 7 years.

I know what you mean about Poms thinking they are bigger than they are. My other favorite breed is Labs, & Prissy  wants to tear them up when she sees them.  There is a special trate of Poms that I love. It is how they seem to bond to a one person over everyone else. My first Pom Maggie was very attached to me. If I left her with someone for vacation she would sit by their door waiting for me to return and would not do anything else. It did make it dificult to think about her waiting for me when I traveled.

Hi, I too love Poms...I have 3, all from people who didn't want them.

My first one Nikki, a give away is a very high class Pom, and I assumed could have been shown, except she has what is called a flat coat.  She is extremely full coated though.  The other two, Hally and Abagail were posted on a bulletin board for $25.00 a piece.

My girlfriend called me about them, and wanted to go with me to look at them.  I figured I would maybe get one or none.  I took them both because they were in deplorable condition.  Shaved, filthy, sores from fleas, not mistreated physically, but mentally.  Had a german shepherd size self feeder out on a non heated closed- in porch with a dirty pillow to sleep on.  Not allowed on the furniture and no people food.

They are flea free, clean, family, and happy.  Although they do not look like the poms usually pictured, I love them, and don't care about their breeding.  I didn't get them for their looks, or to breed,  just couldn't leave them!

Of, course, it was a wise decision. 

It's nice to hear from other pom mommas. Sorry I haven't been back on sooner. I have been out town visiting my mother in Illinois. Rescued dogs make the best companions.They are so grateful, usually, to have a safe place to call home and love to go with it. So Good for You in rescueing those babies. I visit a lot of rescue sights and read the stories that bring tears to your eyes. Makes me very angry how some people treat their dogs. In my opinion, they should be treated the same way. I could rant all day on that, but will spare you!
We also have a rat terrier. It's hiliarous to watch the two play together. It's inexpensive entertainment...........lol I now have toys everywhere. Just like when our sons were growing up.....lol
Have a Great Day All!
