I’m pretty embarrassed that I’m posting pictures of Pomeranian puppies on the mighty LAZERHORSE but, for some reason, I can’t stop. Last night, I watched a film called The Hole (which I don’t recommend you do), and it featured a Pomeranian and, for some reason, I was smitten by it.
There are plenty of websites that pander to the whims of the “Aaaahhh… CUTE!” brigade but, like it or lump it, these guys are pretty darned adorable. Sorry folks. Look away now if you’re offended by eye-wateringly chintzy / cutesie stuff…
(WARNING: horrifically cute video of 8-week-old Pomeranian pups at the bottom).
Pomeranians are relatives of the much larger spitz dogs that have their origins in Central Europe. Queen Victoria owned one, which helped bring them into popularity. Since Victoria’s reign, these dogs have decreased in size by around 50%!
These yappy extroverts are sensitive to changes in their environment and can be very protective of their owners. Their forerunners were Arctic working dogs, but I can’t see that they’d be much use at that nowadays.

Here’s that horrific video I mentioned earlier…
That was awful wasn’t it? I promise I’ll write about carnage or disease next. I promise.
