Nope, doesn't look purebred to me. Her facial structure is quite different than what it should be.

Your VERY cute puppy could be a mix but she could also very well be purebred. I show my animals (rabbits) and volunteer at the shelter so I see a whole lot of variety - from very well bred to very poorly bred animals. There are lots of cases of purebred animals not having that perfect Westminster or Eukanuba show dog look we picture in our heads when we think of our favorite breeds.
Think of the TONS of "purebred" chihuahuas that are not even close to the AKC standards. They should be tiny (2-6lb or even less - 6+lbs is a disqualification for showing), with a dome skull, well defined stop, well furred tail, etc. But how many do you actually see like that? You usually see Chihuahuas 6 - 20 lbs with foxy muzzles, flat skulls, and stilt legs. That is just the opposite of the standard but they may still be purebred dogs (only bred to other chihuahuas. Their breeding has been atrocious, though - VERY CARELESS.
The same might apply to your pup. Pure but not bred to the standard. She's adorable, btw. :)

She might be a Pom or a Sheltie mix. Hard to tell without seeing her body build.

Congratulations, you have an adorable mutt. If the breeder you got it from told you it was a pure Pomeranian, they lied. You should buy from a reputable breeder next time.

I don't think she is a pure breed pomeranian. But if she is just a family companion, then it doesn't matter. She is Very cute!!!

NUTRITION, NUTRITION, NUTRITION. I know of a Chihuahua that did not have any hair or teeth for the first 5 years of it's life and once it was given a better diet it's hair and teeth both came in.
But she's cute and loves you.

I am pretty positive she is a mix.
