The Pomeranian Dog Breed Standard

Following are abbreviated Pomeranian dog breed standards based upon AKC guidelines.

Appearance, Carriage and Condition:

The Pomeranian Breed Standard states that Pomeranians are compact, active toy dogs. They are alert, inquisitive, and commanding in gait.

{Size:}

Average weight is 3 to 7 pounds; an ideal show pom is 4 to 6 pounds. The pomeranian is medium-boned, with a sturdy, well-balanced frame.

Skull:

The head is in proportion with the body, with a short, straight muzzle. Pomeranian faces are described as "fox-like" with an alert expression. The eyes are bright, medium-sized, almond-shaped, and set back into the skull. The nose and eye rims are black except in brown, beaver, and blue dogs, which are self-colored.

Coat:

The Pomeranian is noted for its double coat which consists of a soft, dense undercoat and a straight, glistening outer coat which is harsher in texture.

Colors:

All colors, patterns and variations are allowed and judged on equal basis.

Patterns:

  • Black and Tan (the richer the tan the more desirable)

  • Brindle - base color of gold, red, or orange - brindled with strong black cross stripes

  • Parti-color - white base coat with any other color distributed in patches; a white blaze on the head is preferred.
