What is the 1 thing you should look out for when buying a toy dog

Depending on your age, like, if you're young, like me, and going to college soon, you probably wouldn't want to get a Pom. Small dogs live a long time, so they'll be around for a while.

I believe that Poms have larger corneas than other dogs, meaning that they can get scratched easily, and sometimes they 'goop' more than others. You should keep them clean, it's not something big but it's just there for you to know.

Also, Pom's have longer hair I believe. So you would probably want to get them groomed once in a while, especially since they shed. And, depending on where you live, it could get hot, and be uncomfortable for the dog in the summer.

I copied and pasted this from- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/pomeranian_...

The most common problem in Pomeranians is luxating patella. Also Legg-Calv茅-Perthes syndrome and hip dysplasia can occur, but are rare in this small breed. Patent ductus arteriosus (a congenital heart defect) and collapsing trachea have become serious problems in Poms. Dry eye, tear duct disorders and cataracts that can appear in young adulthood and often lead to blindness are also common. Skin diseases are quite common, especially allergies (that often leads to acute moist dermatitis or "hot spots") and follicular dysplasia (also known as alopecia X). Other problems that occur regularly include hypothyroidism, epilepsy, and hypoglycemia. Occasionally, hydrocephalus can occur in Pom puppies. Poms, like many Toy breeds, are prone to bad teeth and harmless episodes of reverse sneezing.
