[HELP] What breed is this dog?

EricaMont

Hi everyone!
I need help... I saw a photo of this puppy on someone's Facebook wall and instantly I felt in love for him and I want to buy one right now.

Could someone tell me what is the breed of this puppy, please?

Looks like a pomeranian to me.

But before you go out and buy one, please research the breed and find out if they are a good fit for your lifestyle.
Also please research what to look for in a reputable beeder. Please do not buy from a pet stores. Despite what employees say, that vast majority of petstore puppies actually come from puppymills. And of course do not rule out rescue groups!
If you have any questions we will gladly help you!

Hi.

Thats a pomeranian or a mix of. They are not *easy* dogs, and it can be hard to find a well bred one, I would refrain from purchasing one based on looks

Poms are cute, but I had one. She had a collapsing trachea and a severe heart murmor that killed her right after she turned 3. Be careful who you purchase from because these health concerns are both considered common in this breed, especially from nonreputable breeders.

ALSO, pomeranians shed a LOT!!!! They are so soft, but that fur comes out into tumbleweeds across your kitchen floor, in your food, in your nose, mouth, children's mouths, etc. To prevent this, they need brushing every day, sometimes more than everyday. They are VERY high maintenance. AND they yap constantly. They LOVE their owners and will follow you around all day, but they have very high energy levels, and they will drive your family and other dogs crazy if they are not well-trained. And because they all pretty much have ADHD, they can be very difficult to train. We loved ours very much, and their will always be a place in our hearts that is hers, even though she is gone. That said, we will never own another pom. Getting a pom/poodle mix may be better, but each dog is different, and it could actually be a worse dog.

lol, careful with generalizations. My pom sheds less than any of my dogs. I only brush her twice a month (and no mats) and I often wonder why I bother....and she doesn't bark she makes a "barf!!" sound to be let in (just one barf LOL) and other than that, she is a mute.


I do agree tho on the high energy...that they very much are. (generally)

Leah

lucky you. perhaps if the right one came along, i'd be taken by a pom again afterall. i mean, who can say no to those little button eyes, that teensy little nose and that precious little tongue that can't stay away.

i really miss her.

Criosphynx

hahah, this is my last pom also. For other reasons.

Iam sorry about yours
