The Pomeranian Of Today Make Good Professional Therapy Dogs

The Pomeranian is a toy-sized member of the German Spitz family of dogs. Some of the Pomeranian’s relatives include the Samoyed, Keeshond, Siberian Husky, Alaskan Malamute, Norwegian Elkhound, Finnish Spitz, Chow Chow and American Eskimo.

The Pomeranian had ancestors who were used by the Nordic people as sled pulling dogs and to herd reindeer. Of course, these ancestors were much larger than our present day Pomeranian.

Today’s Pomeranian is well suited to city and suburban households. They are alert and highly intelligent, very active little dogs, which are easily trained. Many Pomeranians successfully compete in obedience, agility, tracking and flyball.

You won’t see a 3 to 7 pound Pomeranian pulling a sled in Iceland or herding reindeer. That would certainly be a spectacular event, but it is very doubtful the little Pomeranians of today are hired to do such jobs as these. The Pomeranians we know today have indoor jobs as therapy dogs. They make excellent therapy dogs while visiting the sick and elderly in hospitals and nursing homes. It is my personal opinion that the ministers need to take along a little Pom while making their rounds visiting the sick and elderly in hospitals and nursing homes.

The Pomeranian is a compact, short-backed toy dog with a soft, dense undercoat and a profuse harsh-textured outer coat. He has a heavily plumed tail set high that lies flat on his back. The Pomeranian looks kind of “cocky,” commanding, and animated as he moves around.

The average size of the Pomeranian is from 3 to 7 pounds. The American Pomeranian Club does not like the Pomeranian to be referred to as “teacup” or “toy.” The ideal weight for a show specimen is 4 to 6 pounds, although the American Pomeranian Club says poorly bred Pomeranians will many times be overweight, and any dog over the limits is highly objectionable. The Pomeranian is medium-boned and when examined feels sturdy. He has an interesting looking plumed tail, which is one of the characteristics of his breed. The Pomeranian’s eyes are also of interest as almond-shaped, dark, bright, and medium in size.

The little Pomeranian has a vivacious spirit about him making him a great competitive dog. He is an extrovert in personality.

The Pomeranian was most likely bred down in the present day Germany and Poland. When the Pomeranian was first noticed in Britain in the middle of the 19th century, some specimens were said to weigh as much as 30 pounds and resembled the German Wolf Spitz in size, coat and color. These 30 pound dogs were most likely the sled dogs.

A Pomeranian named “Marco” was sent from Florence, Italy to the Queen Victoria of England. Marco became Queen Victoria’s beloved pet. Because of the Queen was a popular monarch, the breed’s popularity grew. Queen Victoria is known for advocating the trend toward the smaller Pomeranians.

The small size Pomeranian with its docile temperament and vivacious spirit helps to make this little dog an ideal and entertaining companion.

The colors and patterns of the Pomeranian are many. Among the colors are black and tan – tan or rust sharply defined, appearing above each eye and on muzzle, throat, and fore chest, on all legs and feet and below the tail. The richer the tan is more desirable. Brindle – the base color is gold, red, or orange-brindled with strong lack cross stripes. Parti-color is white with any other color distributed in patches with a white blaze preferred on the head. The Open Classes at specialty shows may be divided by color as follows: Open Red, Orange, Cream, and Sable; Open Black, Brown, and Blue; Open Any Other Color, Pattern, or Variation.

The larger size Pomeranian that once pulled sleds in Iceland surely worked hard for its masters. Today, our little 6 pound Pomeranians are happily performing more professional positions such as therapy dogs for sick and the elderly. He is an ideal companion for the adult, and not so highly recommend for children.

Is An Alaskan Malamute A Good Pet To Have?

You don’t have to live on the frozen Alaskan tundra to want an Alaskan Malamute sled dog for your very own! These massive wolf-like companions are some of the friendliest pets you could own. There are a few Malamutes (Mals) that haul people, freight or heavy objects, although most dogs are used for show or as pets. While this breed can pull hefty weight, they are generally not well suited for long distance races, in which case, the Siberian Husky, Alaskan Husky or Eskimo Dog would be a better choice, since they are breed for agility.

Alaskan Malamutes are a very affectionate breed of dog that thrive on human companionship. Ideally, your pet will be able to come and go as it pleases through a doggie-door, having the freedom to lounge outside in the shade or be at the heart of human interaction on command. Speaking of “commands,” Mals can be stubborn dogs if you don’t take the time to train them when they’re young.

Don’t worry: they are intelligent and quick learners if you use positive rewards. Be sure to let them know who’s the “Alpha Dog” in your house early on! This breed gets bored easily and needs a lot of exercise. Your Malamute may be a digger, so it’s best to set up a shaded area where your dog can dig his paws into the cool dirt if need be. If you’re looking for a guard dog, then forget it; this breed enjoys humans far too much!

While the males are sometimes aggressive with other males, Mals are said to be good family pets. If you have cats, small dogs or farm animals, then you may want to reconsider getting this sort of breed. Perhaps it’s the hunter instinct that emerges, but this native Alaskan canine does not typically get along with other small mammals. One of the things you’ll come to love about your Mal is its “Chewbacca” woofs. While they’re a generally quiet dog, they do like to talk a bit, and sometimes even howl like a wolf!

Have you ever wondered, “What are the differences between the Alaskan Malamute and the Siberian Husky?” Well, first consider that the Malamute was bred to carry a heavy load, whereas the Siberian Husky was bred to carry a lighter load over a longer distance. So naturally, Malamutes have a larger bone structure, while Huskies are much smaller and more agile.

Mals have brown eyes only, whereas Huskies can have blue, gray, brown, or a mix. Malamutes also have ears that sit further back on the skull, broader heads, bulkier muzzles, a sloped back (versus the straight back of the Husky) and a waving plume tail (rather than the traditionally trailing tail of the Husky). The personalities of both breeds are very similar by nature.

If you like what you’ve read, then an Alaskan Malamute may be the ideal breed of dog for you! They’ve got a little of everything, it seems.

If you’re looking for a companion, rather than an accessory, then you’ve made the right decision. You may not have a sled to pull, but if you have a strong desire for an animal that can run, play, walk and entertain, then the Mal can make the ideal pal!
