Pomeranians 101: Exotic Pomeranian Puppies
There is a lot of prejudice in the dog show world. There is also a lot of prejudice with some dog owners who see dogs as fashion accessories and not the family partners they crave to be if you give them half a chance. Pomeranians have always been popular, which has lead to some health problems. For decades, they have been bred for quantity rather than quality. Today, standard and exotic Pomeranian puppies are bred in misery in puppy mills. Puppy mills supply many Internet sites that sell puppies and all pet stores, no matter what color the puppy is.
The only thing that makes exotic Pomeranian puppies different from standard Pomeranian puppies is their color. That’s it. If you get an exotic Pomeranian puppy, be prepared for many know-it-alls to say, “That’s not a real Pomeranian because the color is wrong.” If you want to show your dogs, then exotic Pomeranian puppies are not for you, as they may be disqualified, even if you can prove that your exotic Pomeranian puppies are all purebred Pomeranians.
Exotic Pomeranian puppies will still be built like standard Pomeranian puppies, no matter what their coat color. Since the Humane League of the United States says that one quarter of all abandoned pets are purebreds, the chances are good that your suspected exotic Pomeranian puppy is a purebred. This will help you determine what the strengths and weaknesses of your potential puppy are. You also will be better prepared for medical problems later on.
Some of the colors like the parti-color are also considered exotic colors. Although some of the exotic Pomeranian puppy colors are allowed in the breed standard, they usually do not do well showing.
Exotic Pomeranian puppies are delicate, almost to the point of ridiculousness. They can be killed by jumping from your arms to the floor or by simply being stepped on. You need to always be aware of where such a creature is. Chihuahuas are tougher than a Pomeranian. Cats are tougher than a Pomeranian.
Most breeds of rabbits are tougher than a Pomeranian. But if you don’t plan to do any roughhousing and have a patient nature, then a Pomeranian can make a great friend.
Why do people care what color a Pomeranian is? Because some colors are fashionable, and some are not. Some people want to have a “special edition” that is hard to get and show that off. But exotic Pomeranian puppies act like standard Pomeranian puppies.
They often have bladder and bowel accidents. Don’t be prejudiced - get any Pomeranian only because you’ve checked up on your Pomeranian information and know what you are getting into.
