Temperament

The Pomeranian is a very active dog who is intelligent, courageous, and a loyal companion. Pomeranians enjoy walking, and are fit for apartment life. They can be trained to be good watchdogs. The Pomeranian is confident, commanding, and outgoing. Due to the Pomeranian's small stature, they are not recommended for homes with small children as they may become temperamental.

They make excellent watch dogs and will sound a bark when they sense danger. The Pomeranian is lively and eager to learn. They get along well with other household pets if given a slow and proper introduction. They make wonderful companions for families with older, well-behaved children and the elderly. The Pomeranian is a very sweet dog who adores spending time on laps or running around. Though sweet, they have lots of attitude.

The Pomeranian breed has a wide variety of personalities. Some will have the previous-described nature but many are the exact opposites. People tend to shy away from Poms due to descriptions like these. The truth is many Poms have a laid back and relaxed nature, excellent with children, and never bark! When purchasing a Pom the main thing to remember is always meet and greet before purchase. If the puppy makes any type of noise it will be a barker.
