Pomeranian, << `pom` uh RAY nee uhn, >> is a breed of small dog. The Pomeranian weighs from 3 to 7 pounds (1.4 to 3.2 kilograms), and has a sharp-nosed foxlike face and small, pointed ears. It may be almost any color from black to white, or even orange. It has a soft, fluffy undercoat and a long, thick topcoat with a frill around its neck. Its tail is also thickly covered with hair, and curls up over its back. The dog has a sharp bark. Pomeranians are related to dogs that originally came from the Arctic Circle. However, they first became well known in Pomerania, a former Prussian province in northern Germany.
