Pomeranian

The Pomeranian is a compact, short-backed dog with an abundant double coat and a distinct foxy expression. Originally large sled dogs, they were bred down in size and became popular royal favorites known for their bold and spunky personalities. These tiny 'Poms' are highly intelligent and excel as both alert watchdogs and affectionate companions.
