Just so you know coming from someone who owns pomeranians and knows show breeders, pomeranians have a lot of whelping problems. They often require c-sections which can cost you $1,000-3,000.
You also have to know about other conditions if and know what to do right away in the case these conditions occur. A puppy gets stuck in the birth canal, the mother dies, the mother doesn't push the puppies out, a puppy isn't breathing,..ect.
When the mother gets sick she has to go to the vet right away. You can't wait on these things. If your vet isn't there you will have to go to an animal hospital and usually when you go to those places they cost you hundreds to thousands dollars.
I mean these puppies only weigh 2-6 ounces. So you really have to know what you are doing.
I know people who have lost the mother of the puppies and have lost the whole litter.
Or the mother got sick and they had to care for her and also hand feed puppies every 2 hours 24/7. Even then some of the puppies don't make it.
Ask any reputable breeder and they will tell you that this is the HEARTBREAK BREED.
Before you even consider breeding you have to get your dog checked for thyroid conditions, luxated patellas, heart conditons, eyes checked, and hips checked. If these things don't check out well then by breeding the female you are risking that her puppies can get these conditons and then they will pass these things onto their puppies.
Stud fees and other things cost a lot of money too. Stud fees can range from $300-1,000. Plus the female needs a brucellosis test and needs to be up to date on vaccines. The stud and the female also have to compliment each other.
If the dog is a good representation of the breed and conforms closely to the breed standard and all the genetic tests I suggested up above have checked out okay then you can breed her at 2 years old.
If not you are risking her life and are going to be passing on genetic conditions to her puppies.

Dogs, just like any other animal (or people for that matter) can only get pregnant while in esterus, so if her dog wasn't in heat, it didn't get pregnant. You might receive a fine for failing to confine your dog (leash law), and you would be responsible for the damage that your dog caused to her kennel, fencing, etc. However, you would not be responsible for any vet bills unless your dog injured her dog. YOU are not responsible for spaying her dog, and quite honestly, if her dog was spayed, this would not be an issue anyway. For that matter, I would recommend having your own dog neutered so you don't run into this problem again in the future.

Dog training are excellent and very helpful to build you a stronger relationship with your dog. Read more https://tinyurl.im/vaM0S
After I started training my dog, he became very attached to me and loves to stay by side as long as he can. But just going to them won't help. You have to practice what they teach you outside of the class and you need to keep up with it at least every now and then after the class ends otherwise they'll just go back to previous habits. This course is a really good place to go for dog obedience classes. It get's your dog around other people and dogs to socialize while getting the training you need. As for electric collars, I would say to not get one. In my experience, they're only a negative effect on your dog. I mean of course you're going to need to correct your dog, but being positive and encouraging your dog works a lot faster and easier.
Every dog is different, so unless you have a german shepherd or a really smart dog, it might take a while to train her. You might get frustrated with her, but go easy. She's still a puppy and has a lot of energy. A backyard or somewhere to run will help her get rid of a lot of energy that might cause her to misbehave from boredom.

Boy, a lot of great answers here! I would have to agree with most of the other posters. PLEASE, DO NOT BREED YOUR DOG!!!GET HER SPAYED!!! Leave breeding to the professionals, who know exactly what they are doing. You yourself are saying, that you know nothing, when it comes to breeding a dog. When breeding a dog,YOU HAVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING!!! It' s also very expensive! It's not as simple as putting two dogs together and making babies. It's so much more than that. Too many things can go wrong, and you're female could die giving birth, and it's even more risky, when breeding a small breed. I would hope that's not a chance you are willing to take, with your female. Don't put her through that kind of trauma. It's not fair!!!

Sometimes I feel really bad when questions are answered really meanly. I just want to assure you that I will not be one of those people.
I believe that you should spay and neuter your animals. There are many irresponsible breeders out there, which is why I think that everyone's is quick to judge. If you think about it, it would probably be best for you to alter your dog because of all of the health problems. If you do not know too much about breeding, then, for the safety of the animal you should just fix her.
I like to give both views on the subject, so you are better informed and it gives you the opportunity to choice yourself, instead of everyone telling you what to do.
She is a small breed so she will have complications. Smaller breeds are unable to pass the puppies through their fallopian tubes safely. Also, she is going to be at high rick for ovarian cancer amd mammory cancer. You will not make much money for all of the money that you make off of selling will go right back into the puppies for their vaccinations. Plus, you have to go to the vet, so your mama dog is healthy enough to even breed, this involves blood work. Hopefully, you know the history about your dog before you decide to let her have puppies. If she is from the third liter or over then more and likely her puppies will look less of the breed and they will be a bit malnurished. And you just might be producing mutts. You never know and it is just a few things to think about.
After explaining the risks and you decide you still want to breed her, then at least wait till she is two years of age. Do not let her have more than two liters. Make sure to bring her to the vet before, during and after the pregnancy. Make sure that the male dog is smaller than her (puppies would be a little smaller to go through the fallopian tubes).
Please, at the same time, think of all of the homeless animals out there that are unable to get a home. The population is unimaginable. Especially how many are put to sleep. Think wisely and do as much research as you can, then you decide.

dogs and puppies die from inexperienced breeders; it is not cheap ; you get crazy people that want the puppies; what if pups or mom get sick; costs a fortunate ; what if you can't find a home for all ; remember having one puppy to clean up after ; now imagine 10; to do it right you have to be there on clean up duty; training duty; housebreaking duty ; inside/outside duty 24 x 7 ;advertising isn't cheap; anything can go wrong and you can lose your female; it isn't a game when it comes to an animal's life. You are too inexperienced to just want something doesn't mean that you should; go volunteer in an animal shelter ; help an unwanted , abused and abandoned life

for onething if you let your dog have puppies and you sell the puppies how do you know they will go to a good home. Years ago I raised cockers and sold them cheap but I had to get all their puppie shots and everything and then I sold them cheap and I hated doing it cause I didnt know what kind of place they was going to. I also bought a pom once from a kennel and found out 9 yers later when Bobo started having eplisey seizzers that his mom had been crossed bred . If you dont know what your doing for your sake and your little dog sake please think twice before you do it

If you are truly wanting to breed pomeranians, then the best thing is to start learning now. The best way to do that is to start showing her. Take a handling class, learn how to groom her properly, and take the plunge. Not only will it help you to evaluate your dog and her quality, it will also allow you to meet and talk to experienced breeders who can teach you about the breed and proper breeding practices. It will also help you to know where the best studs are, so that you can produce the best possible puppies.
