Long adopted as a pet, this little ball of fur, similar to a teddy bear, can reveal different characters depending on its size. For example, the Miniature Spitz is more dynamic than the Small Spitz, the Medium Spitz, the Wolf Spitz and the Large Spitz, which can still be very mischievous at times. However, most dogs of this breed, all categories combined, have the same character traits.
The qualities of the Pomeranian
The Spitz is a very sociable dog, with people as with other animals, even if he tends to see himself as bigger than he really is. Thus, he often cohabits very willingly with cats. He is very attached to his master and shows great fidelity and loyalty. He doesn't tolerate solitude well, so he will be happy to accompany her on her travels when possible. Intelligent and lively, he fulfills his role as a pet well and communicates joy to those around him. His kind and affectionate nature makes him the ideal companion for young children, although care must be taken to ensure that he is not injured while playing as he has quite fragile bones. He is, on the other hand, naturally suspicious of strangers, without this making him aggressive or fearful.
Very playful, the Pomeranian does not reach maturity until late and maintains a puppy-like attitude for a long time.
In addition to its qualities as a companion dog, the Spitz is a good guardian. All breeds of Spitz make, through their sometimes excessive barking, good warning signs of the approach of a stranger, but the Wolf Spitz, the largest in size, is the one that deters the most, due to its size. However, it is never dangerous and does not threaten to bite.
And its little quirks…
Even if he is primarily a very endearing companion with many qualities, we still find some faults in him. To begin with, he shows a certain character when he thinks he is the master of the place. Indeed, his overconfidence in himself is quite marked. He sometimes tends to think he is above the fray, even with dogs larger than him. Socialization is therefore an important step in training. Likewise, his barking can quickly become unbearable and uncontrollable if the puppy has not been properly trained. Well trained, his barking also makes him an excellent watchdog.
Always on the move, the Spitz rarely stays at rest in its basket. He sleeps little compared to other dog breeds. This is not strictly speaking a fault, but he always wants to be the center of attention and at the heart of the action, even if it means being a little too clingy sometimes, which requires a lot of care and availability of the from his master.
So, despite its appearance as a small apartment dog, the Pomeranian is in reality quite the opposite. Although he can adapt to indoor life, his energy and dynamism require daily outings and exercises to stimulate his intelligence. He has a great need to exercise and will happily follow his master on his journeys.
