What is the 1 thing you should look out for when buying a toy dog2007-11-25 2:52:31

ok. . . .. I LOVE POMERANIANS!! They are sooo adorable and cute. But i would like to know what are the negative things about them. Like do they get skin problems, bad allergies? Stuff like that. THANX-A-BUNCH!! =D

Answers:

Just be certain to meet the parents..then, if they are just as the dog you want your puppy to grow to be, then you have a good chance of choosing just the right dog..

Pomeranians do not have terribly many problems. They can have Collapsing Tracheas, slipping knee caps (luxating patellas) , and skin/food allergies (they don't tolerate corn well) and cataracts..But, mostly they are one of the healthiest of the toy breeds..

Here is a good list of health problems you may encounter with Poms..Be sure to ask the breeder about them..> http://www.mbfonline.com/pomhealth/...

P.S. they are not heavy shedders, unless they are not fed a premium kibble..and ALL dogs deserve to have a quality diet provided for them.

They are not yappers, unless you allow them to be.. Ours did not yap.

The number one thing is people often do not train/socialize them properly because they are so small, and think it really is not doing much harm, but then when they are let outside the house they bark and snap at everything in sight.

Toy dogs of all types tend to be very hyper and active. They bark alot and jump alot.
