I’m thinking about adding a Pomeranian to our pack. Tell your favorite thing about the breed and anything you feel I should know.

Sure thing, I can talk about Poms all day long.

I had two.

Bella was extremely smart, she was also the older one and very nurturing when Apple joined our family. I know everyone thinks this about their dog but I swear to God she was a genius.

Apple was not as smart, but so so silly, playful, and kept his youthful personality as he grew up.

Poms are generally very smart! Ranked #23 on this list of ~80 breeds. (I've seen other lists where they are ranked in the 20s out of 130+ breeds.)

I love their fluffiness, and believe it or not they are considered moderate shedders.

They also don't require as much exercise as other dogs, for example, in bad weather situations they can be exercised indoors (thankfully I never had to do this, I walked mine 4-5 times a day for 20 minutes.)

You will NEVER regret getting a Pomeranian!!!
