Toy Pom?

moonbaby4885 · 09-09-2004, 09:46 PM

We were given this dog about 5 yrs ago and he is now 12 yrs old. We were told by the previous owner that he was a toy pomeranian. But this man told us that he was just a regular pom. Does anyone know which?

He is smaller than our cat. And when he is wet you can tell he is very small.

I don't know that I've heard of such a thing...

How much does he weigh? And how long is he, nose to tail? Have you compared him to the Pomeranian breed standard?

The cat size comparison doesn't help much, I'm afraid. My Yorkie is a pound over a standard Yorkie, and quite possibly a tad larger too. But she's still smaller than our cat.

lol

lol I your cat looks huge and your pom doesn't lol I don't know, check the breed stranded on www.akc.org

There is no such thing as a toy pomeranian. Pomeranians ARE toy breeds. A pom is a pom, end of subject.

Whoever bought him was probably misinformed by the breeder, who used their small size as a selling point.

Thanx

I think people enjoy the "toy" "teacup" terms! In the pom standard it says poms are 3-7lbs. So what would a TOY be? 1lb?! Give me a break...This is WOC junk...but we wont go there! lol!! My pom is 8lbs...trust me she's not fat..kinda thin actually.

THANK YOU! lol you beat me to it... lol.. i get sooo sick of people going.. GOSH youve got a small pom there.. when in reality Rocky really is a big pom.. weighing in at 7 pounds. but people are SO used to seeing 13 and 15 pound poms (that are either poorly bred... or arent pure poms) that they think a real pomeranian is tiny.. do you have any more pictures of your pom? i LOVE seeing poms that arent the standard red. LOL thats another thing! people always insist with me that Rocky cant be a pom because he is black........ *sigh* ahh silly people

Rip's Girl · 09-11-2004, 02:06 AM

Hehe.. I adore the black poms, and I'm especially partial to the particolors..

I have some friends with this tiny, tiny pomeranian.. I can't imagine that she's healthy. She weighs about 1-2lbs at 8 months.

stardust · 09-11-2004, 11:07 AM

i never had my pom as a puppy... so i dont have any personal experience with what is good for a pom as a pup.. yes i have read a lot about them, but without the personal experience i have no right to talk. maybe one of the other pom lovers on here could tell you if that is a healthy weight. ok.. ive gotta go.. Rocky is giving me evil looks on the floor like "mommy! come play with me not that pesky clacky key thing!" lol...

Yes, I hear people say that about all kinds of breeds. I've heard miniature Chihuahua. That's another one that is not classified by size like a Poodle is. They come in a variety of sizes from 2 - 6 Lbs. and Poms to 7 Lbs. But they are just plain Chihuahuas and just plain Poms. How dare a "breeder" tell someone that?

PitBullie09 · 09-15-2004, 09:25 AM

Yea I didnt think there was such thing as a toy pom either?

***Carrie*** · 09-15-2004, 10:04 AM

Well....there is. A Pom IS a toy breed. It's just that there is no such thing as a miniature or a teacup....no size classification. Plus there are probably stuffed animal Poms somewhere in some department store. Ho ho.

moonbaby4885 · 09-15-2004, 10:35 AM

lol....TOY poms in the toy department..lol. If I can find some more pics and get my scanner to somehow work I will post some. (my scanner only works when it wants to ? lol)

***Carrie*** · 09-15-2004, 11:42 AM

stardust · 09-15-2004, 11:36 PM
