I'm a 1 year old Pomeranian looking for a nice girl. I think I'm pretty handsome, with a black and tan beautiful hair (my Mom says so). I'm fisty, active and always happy, but I really need a sweetheart, please help.

Ifeveryone in this whole wide world would star neutering/spaying all cats and dogs, there would come time in which they will become an endangered or even extint species. Basically we have to educate people to be responsible and breeders please not to exploit animals.
I would like for my little Pom to experience doggie love for once, anyway I plan to neuter him soon whether he has found love or not. What's your opinion?
Thanks.

Well, let's see, did you come from a licensed breeder and have your Pedigree Papers? If so, you are one lucky little guy. If you don't have Pedigree Papers you may be out of luck.

When you find your girlfriend check out her Pedigree Papers and see if you are both good quality dogs.

If you don't have the pedigree papers your owner may need to have you neutered cause you may be just pet quality and should not breed. You may be the cutest little thing that come a along but it may be the little man attitude that makes you think you got it all. Bless your little heart.

If your owner gets you neutered it will prevent possible reproductive problems and it will be healthier for you in the long run. Live long little guy.

I assume you are looking to breed your dog. All dogs should have health tests done before breeding. Pomeranians need testing for PRA, luxating patella, and hips and elbows. They also should be checked for proper structure and for temperament testing (you can do this with the ATTS.org or get the AKC's Canine Good Citizen certification). Then you need to study the pedigrees and I recommend putting in 6-12 months of volunteering with your local shelter or rescue so you can see the effect of adding more dogs to the population. Dogs of both sexes should not be younger than 2 years old before breeding. That is the bare minimum to see if your dog is worthy to be bred. Please don't be yet another backyard breeder. Neuter your dog.

Edit: it is estimated that only 15% of all breeders are even remotely responsible. I'm a dog behaviorist and a grad student in biology and dogs do not "fall in love" nor do they mate for life or any other such things that humans believe. If you want to find a companion for your male, that is fine, but there does not need to be one more pointless litter just because of your silly notions. Say there was a nuclear weapon dropped on the city of New York or Chicago. Everything just gone. There are as many animals put down in this country as there is in the entire city of New York for people who believe that their precious dog needs one litter to grow up or settle down. What absolute nonsense. Dogs are not going extinct any time soon but responsible pet owners spay and neuter their pets!!! Spend two or three hours a week for 6-12 months volunteering at your local shelter or rescue and tell me if you still want to add more pointless dogs to the mix. Leave breeding to the serious, responsible breeders who breed solely for a working purpose.

Your Pomeranian may just be on the larger side. Poms are usually solid colors, like a chestnut or black, but as puppies will have shades of brown, gray, and everything else until they reach their adult coat. Like most small dogs, the Pomeranian of today is much smaller than its ancestors. It's always been the smallest of Spitz breeds, but it used to be closer to the American Eskimo dog in size and conformation. That's why I say your Pom could just be on the larger side. You do see tiny Poms at Crufts and dog shows, they're generally all of the same type, color, coat. In private breeders and pet stores, however, you will see more colors and sizes. If your dog grows larger, I'd say she may be mixed with a spitz dog of some kind or even a Papillon (which would account for the color as well), but I think she is mostly Pomeranian, if not all. I don't think she has any sheltie at all - their eyes are tiny and their muzzle very, very snipey (thin and long). Best of luck to you and your puppy!

Please do not breed your dog. Doing so is mean and socially irresponsible.

Approximately 8 million to 12 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year, and approximately 5 million to 9 million are euthanized (60 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats).
