About the Pomeranian
The Pomeranian takes its name from Pomerania, a region along the Baltic Sea in what is now Poland and Germany. The breed descends from large Spitz-type sled dogs of the Arctic, and early Pomeranians weighed 20 to 30 pounds — much larger than today’s breed. Queen Victoria became enamored with the breed during a visit to Italy in 1888 and is credited with popularizing smaller Pomeranians.
