Poms or Pom Poms are another nickname for them.
These little canines, which weigh 7 to 10 pounds on average, are descended from large sled dogs. Isn't it incredible?

Pomeranians didn't previously have such a small stature. They used to weigh as much as 20 to 30 pounds before Queen Victoria of England reduced their size.

Despite their diminutive stature, they are well-known for believing that their small bark can defeat large dogs. Because of this, socializing a Pomeranian with other dogs is critical in preventing aggressive behavior.

Martin Luther, a Protestant Reformation leader, owned a Pomeranian named Belferlein, whom he frequently mentioned in his writings.

Pimperl, Mozart's loving Pomeranian, was honored with an aria.

Michelangelo worked on the Sistine Chapel ceiling with a Pomeranian by his side.

Pomeranians are excellent therapy dogs. They can also be trained to aid people with hearing loss.

Despite their hairy coat, they don't require much maintenance beyond brushing on a regular basis, which can help prevent shedding.
