Pomeranian Breed Information
Pomeranians 2010 Wall Calendar
Though they weigh a mere 3 to 7 pounds, Pomeranians are fearless watchdogs. Perky, curious, and brave, they are loving companions, and they certainly do not shun a little pampering. Poms are bred in a manner which creates two distinctive facial "looks" to the dog breed, fox faced and baby faced. This 2006 calendar shows both faces of these adorably cute dogs.
