Before getting a Pomeranian, here’s what you should remember
Are you ready to take a Pomeranian into your home? Before you bring one home, take a look at a few downsides of the Pomeranian temperament.
A Pomeranian is a sensitive dog breed and does not like being alone. It could become lonely and resort to destructive behavior if you leave it alone for a long time. It may snap back to naughty kids, so it is not best to leave it alone with babies or young children without proper training! The AKC Pomeranian breed profile is a good place to read more about the breed.
Some Poms can be noisy or may bark or howl often. They often just need attention or exercise to keep the barking down, and of course, proper training by their owners! These dogs may not do well with other dogs, so this is the ideal breed for singles and seniors who are good with one dog at a time.
