Question
Who are the right people for this particular
breed of dog?
And what is the perfect household for them,big,
small,ect.,ect.?

Answer
Hi Angella,

Any size home or apartment would be fine for a pom because they are a very small dog.  I would recommend homes without large dogs or children under eight.  Poms can be easily hurt because they are so small.  

An excellent website regarding breed information is:
www.yourpurebredpuppy.com/dogbreeds
They also have lots of interesting information on training, health, vaccines, what to feed, etc.

Find a good breeder! Make sure that the breeder is not a backyard breeder but breeds to improve the breed.  Someone who breeds to show poms.  Do not buy one from a pet store.  Poms are very overbred. There are many hyper,
yappy, unhealthy poms with behavior problems that barely resemble the bred.  It can be hard to find a good dog but well worth the effort!  My pom is calm, even tempered, happy and healthy.  He weighs 7 pounds and looks just like the poms in the dog shows on TV.

Poms are happy, loyal, fun, affectionate, active dogs that love nothing more than just being with you.

Hope this helps you decide!
God Bless,
Carrie
