We adopted him from a family who had 8 Pomeranians. They were moving out- of- state and wanted to thin the herd.
The gentleman told us if you want him to love you, give him cheese. Somehow Dillon knows when you're getting into cheese by the sound of the packaging being opened. Even if he's sleeping he jumps up and runs out into the kitchen.
I know they say a guy isn't supposed to have a lap dog. Dillon is one of the smartest dogs I have ever had. He is a treasure and I wouldn't trade him for the world.
The Pomeranian is ranked among the top 20 most popular breeds in the USA. The first mention of the breed dates back to the 1700s and Queen Victoria played a huge part of increasing their popularity in the 1800s.
It is said that Pomeranians are very good at manipulating their owners into getting what they want. I find this to be true. When he wants something the strategy is to sit real close and give you a come hither look.
Dillon is 15 years old now, weighs 5 pounds and is still full of energy. As Pomeranians do, he has been losing his teeth and he refuses to be brushed. Because of his thick coat we have to take him to the pet salon for a haircut. His beautiful tale starts looking like a Rastafarian so we gave it a trim.
I give him wet food for breakfast. Every morning he is just like a puppy. Nuzzling, running around in circles, standing up on his hind legs doing a dance, and becoming a little voicetress, until he gets it. Of course he eats and takes a nap.
The little dog has to be near me. He follows me from room to room and he's laying here by me as I'm writing this article. He likes to be outside and loves the snow just so it's not deeper than he is tall. Car rides are a favorite too and he just can't resist barking at the windshield wipers. The ride becomes noisy when it's raining.
I've had several breeds over the years, a Doberman Pinscher, German Shepherd, a Great Dane, and a Basset Hound and I have to say Pomeranian is my favorite. I find them to be intelligent and loyal. I have a lot of fun with Dillon.
