The Pomeranian is a breed of dog in the spitz family, named for the Pomerania region of Poland and eastern Germany, and classed as a toy dog breed because of its small size.
The Pomeranian originated from the sled dogs of Iceland and Lapland, which were eventually brought into Europe in Pomerania.
Breeders in Pomerania improved the coat and bred the dogs down for city living, but they were still 20 pounds or more when they reached England.
English breeders, through trial and error and Mendelian theories, are credited for reducing the dog's size and developing the many colors. The Pomeranian of today is small due to selective breeding, but the breed still retains the hardy disposition and thick coat typical of dogs in cold climates.
At an average of 3 to 7 lb (1.4 to 3.2 kg) according to AKC standards, the Pomeranian (Pom) is the most diminutive (diminutive means tiny/small, etc.) of the northern breeds.
The AKC recognizes thirteen colors or color combinations: black, black & tan, blue, blue & tan, chocolate, chocolate & tan, cream, cream sable, orange, orange sable, red, red sable, and sable. The dogs that have 2 or more colors (usually mostly white, with others), are called "Parti-Color". The AKC also recognizes five "alternative" colors: Beaver, brindle, chocolate sable, white, and wolf sable.
The Pomeranian is a very active dog who is intelligent, courageous, and a loyal companion.

On the Blessing Of The Animals story? Pomeranian: http://www.akc.org/breeds/pomeranian/index.cfm
There is no 'mini' (or 'teacup' - a made-up term used by disreputable breeders) - they are only 3 - 7 pounds, per the breed's standard. VERRRY small, as it is! They retain that puppy look their whole lives, because of their facial struture, eyes & coat.
