They bark. They bark at the wind. They wake up in the middle of the night if they hear a tiny noise – Just to bark at it. They love barking – BUT, they only bark to alert their humans, if they feel there’s a threat. So they’re great watch dogs! //
Pomeranians are very social, loyal and happy dogs. Prepare for them to follow you everywhere! If Dean is asleep and I have to go to the bathroom, he’ll wake up and follow me. //
4. They are very fragile dogs. Normal weight is at about 3kg for a Pomeranian. You have to watch out for them when they jump down from, for example, a couch (Dean won’t even jump down from a couch, unless there’s a blanket on the floor). This is also the reason that you have to watch out for them when kids want to play with them. //
De er en meget skrøbelig race. En normal Pomeranian vejer omkring 3kg – Derfor skal man være obs på dem når de hopper op og ned af f.eks. en sofa (Dean vil ikke engang hoppe ned fra en sofa, medmindre der er et tæppe på gulvet). Dette er også grunden til at man skal holde godt øje med hunden, når den er sammen med børn.
5. Pomeranians hate eating alone. They will bring their food to where you are, and eat it in your company! Even if they have to run 20 times to get the food! //
De hader at spise alene. De tager maden med derhen, hvor du er, og spiser den sammen med dig! Om de så skal gå 20 gange for at hente mad, så vil de hellere spise med dig!
6. They lick everything. Their tongue is everywhere. Your face, your fingers, your feet – Even the couch is sometimes being licked! // De slikker på alt. Deres tunge er over alt. Dit ansigt, fingre, fødder – Selv sofaen får nogle gange en slikketur!
7. They change color! They might be all black by birth, but end up the opposite when grown (My boy is cream sable, but when I got him, I was told he would probably be all cream like his dad!). // De skifter farve! Så hvis din hvalp er helt sort ved fødsel, kan den ende med at være det helt modsatte når den er voksen (Min dreng er creme zobel, men da jeg købte ham, fik jeg at vide han garanteret ville blive helt creme-farvet, som sin far!)
8. Get used to people looking and pointing at your dog and saying “Awww!” everywhere you go – especially when your Pomeranian is still a puppy. // Hvis du ikke kan lide opmærksomhed når du går tur med din hund, så er det nok ikke en Pomeranian du skal anskaffe dig – for folk kigger og peger og siger “Nuuurh!” når du kommer gående med din lille poms – Dette sker ISÆR når den stadig er en hvalp!
9. Because a Pomeranian is such a tiny dog, it also lives longer than the bigger dogs. A Pomeranian will live between 12-16 years, if they are properly taken care after. // Fordi en Pomeranian er sådan en lille hund, så lever den også længere end de større hunde. Hvis man passer sin Pomeranian som man skal, bliver de imellem 12-16 år gamle.
10. A Pomeranian can be scared of the smallest things, but they don’t give up easily and they are very curious dogs! Dean isn’t very fond of wires and prefers to walk far away from them, but if his favorite ball is on the other side, he can stand there for 10 minutes to get courage and eventually he jumps over the wire to go get it! // En Pomeranian kan være bange for de mindste ting, men de giver ikke altid lige sådan op og de er meget nysgerrige! Dean er ikke særlig glad for ledninger og går helst i en stor bue udenom, men hvis hans bold er på den anden side, så kan han stå og forsøge at hoppe over for at hente den i 10 minutter – indtil han føler, at han tør!
