Yes, all of our puppies are up to date on their vaccinations before leaving! Most will have one set as they leave at 8 weeks and receive their first shot at 7 weeks via our vet during their health checks.

Most all my puppies are sold with “limited rights” which means they come on a very strict spay/neuter contract and can NOT be bred at any point in their life’s.

”Full rights” are available to approved homes depending on the puppy which means you’re free to breed your puppy when there of age with no res.

Pomeranians can range anywhere from 4-10lbs.

Genetics play a big rule in their sizes and sometimes there are what we call “Throw back” Poms which can be 10-17lbs these can appear at random. We DO NOT guarantee the weight, size,   or temperament of any puppy sold through our kennel.  All weights below the age of 12 months are ESTIMANTES ONLY. If size is a main factor for you, please purchase a dog over 12 months of age. 

Pomeranians were bred down from  larger sled dogs over several generations. These dogs where often over 33 lbs grown. Because of these genetics, some puppies will grow  larger than average, often exceeding 14 lbs as adults. "Throwbacks" appear at random, and are not always obvious for the first few months of life. Most pom puppies growth will slow down dramatically after the first 5 months, where as " Throwbacks" will continue to grow at a larger breed pace.  This can happen in any single litter and this is why we DO NOT guarantee the size of any puppy within this breed. 

Most Pomeranians will undergo a significant hair loss during adolescence, affectionately referred to as the "Puppy Uglies" or The " Ugly Duckling" stage. This generally happens between the ages of 3  and 7 months.  Many puppies look like they have lost most of their hair or have been shaved down when their puppy coat gradually falls out. Adult coats can often take  somewhere between 16 to 24 months to fully grow in!

PLEASE READ - Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar) in Puppies

Hypoglycemia​ is a syndrome that occurs primarily in toy breeds between 6 and 12 weeks of age. A hypoglycemic attack is often precipitated by stress. The typical signs are listlessness, depression, staggering gait, muscular weakness, and tremors-especially of the face. Puppies with a severe drop in blood sugar develop ​seizures​ or become stuporous and go into a coma. Death can follow. This particular sequence of symptoms is not always seen. though. For example, some puppies exhibit only weakness or a wobbly gait. Occasionally a puppy who seemed just fine is found in coma.

Episodes of hypoglycemia often occur without warning-for example, when a puppy is stressed by shipping. ​Other common causes of acute hypoglycemia are missing a meal, chilling, becoming exhausted from too much play, or having an upset stomach​. These events place an added strain on the energy reserves of the liver.

Prolonged or repeated hypoglycemic attacks in toy breed puppies can cause brain damage. Puppies with frequent attacks should undergo veterinary testing to rule out an underlying problem, such as liver shunt, infection, or an enzyme or hormone deficiency.

Treatment: The treatment of an acute attack is aimed at restoring the blood sugar. Begin immediately. If the puppy is awake and able to swallow, give corn syrup or sugar water by syringe, or rub corn syrup, honey, or ​glucose​ paste on the ​gums​. You should see improvement in 30 minutes. If not, call your veterinarian.

If the pup is unconscious, do not give an oral solution because it will be inhaled. Rub corn syrup, honey, or glucose paste on the gums and proceed at once to your veterinarian. This puppy will require an intravenous dextrose solution and may need to be treated for brain swelling.

Oral glucose paste is sold at pharmacies. If you know your dog is subject to hypoglycemic attacks, keep this product on hand.

Prevention: ​Susceptible puppies should be fed at least 3 times a day. It is important to feed a high-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat diet​. It is essential that the diet be high quality. Your veterinarian can recommend an appropriate premium food. Cooked ground beef is a great addition!

Food supplements and table scraps should not exceed 5 to 10 percent of the total daily ration. Owners of toy puppies should take precautions to see that they do not become excessively tired or chilled. Many (but not all) puppies outgrow this problem.

Yes occasionally our retired Pomeranians  will be looking for forever homes after they’re spayed / neutered. They are available at no cost and free to the perfect forever home.
