One of the most interesting things about the Pomeranian dog is its unique and colorful History. This fabulous breed could not have a simple History and this is why these dogs have always been related to nobility and high life status. Just like it name says it, the Pomeranian is native from the German region of Pomerania, located nowadays on the north of the country and shared in terms of politics with Poland.
Even though there are no specific dates on when did this breed began, experts suggest that the current specimens are direct descendants from old Spitz breeds that were used as companions. Thanks to its small size, its cuteness and its unique and elegant bearing the Pomeranian has always been bred as a toy dog that used to belong to important historical figures and aristocrats.
Later on, this breed was exported to different parts of Europe, especially England where it became one of the favorites of the Queen Victoria. Through selective breedings that were meant to make its specific elements stand out, the Pomeranian acquired its current size, its current coat tones and its current shape. These improvements have to do with the interest of making this breed a much more hardier and healthier dog that could live much longer.
