ABOUT US

Thank you for your interest in Pomelene Pomeranians.  We are situated on the west side of Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa, about 10 kms outside the city. We have been breeding Poms for many years. Our goal is to breed Pomeranians of excellent quality, type and temperament.

We started showing our Poms about 7 years ago. Ch Pomelene Timothy was made up in just 7 shows, which is an outstanding achievement! A few puppies were shown during 2005. They all won a few RCC’s and CC’s, but due to some personal problems, we stopped showing. During 2007, we’ve imported some stunning dogs from Jan-Shar Pomeranians in the USA, and started to show again. They won a few RCC’s in the minor puppy and puppy classes, against some very stiff competition! A special thanks to Sharon Hanson from Jan-Shar Pomeranians for allowing me to bought these outstanding dogs.

During 2008 and up until now, my dogs achieved several CC's, RCC's, BOB's, RBOB's, Best Puppy, Best Junior in Show and Best SA Bred, all at Championship shows. I am currently showing some of my Imports' offspring and I've just made up another female as a Champion, Ch Pomelene Gee-Wizz Me. You will find a picture of her under "Our Females."  I hereby want to thank my dear friend, Maureen Whitaker, for her much devoted time and love to help me show my dogs. Thanks Maureen, you are a star!

Our Pomeranians are bred for good health and happy minds as well as beauty. We have a wide variety of beautiful colours to choose from.  Coat colours available are Orange, Orange Sable, Cream, Cream Sable, White, Black and occasionally Wolf Sable.  

ABOUT POMERANIANS

Pomeranians are beautiful and intelligent little bundles of joy. They love to please and are excellent house dogs. Their acute hearing and alertness make them good watch dogs as well. Poms are very smart dogs and can be taught easily. They are suitable for young and old.

It is easy to care for a Pomeranian.  Brushing every few days is much more important than bathing. When fed a good quality food, they rarely shed coat, especially the males (females do shed after whelping!) Pomeranians eat very little, so it is not expensive to feed the best food that you can afford. They make wonderful companions, but please ensure that small children are supervised so that the puppy is not dropped or hurt.  Because the Pomeranian is a small dog and could accidentally be injured, they are not generally recommended as a pet if you have very small children. Injuries can occur from falls, jumping off furniture, being stepped on, etc.  If well cared for, they can live up to 18 years!.

Tiny dogs like the Pomeranians often do not have the fat reserves to supply adequate glucose in times of stress or when they eat irregularly. The occurrence of this is known as hypoglycemia, when their blood sugar level drops dangerously low, which is very common in the small toy breeds. Many puppies simply play too hard or stress their system and forget to eat! It is therefore essential that your puppy has to eat frequently during the day in its first few months. Hypoglycemia is easily treatable in the early stages, but fatal if allowed to progress.

Around 10-12 weeks old, Pomeranians begin a stage called “puppy uglies”.  The puppy will start to grow an adult coat at about 4-6 months. The inner coat will grow first and then the coarse guard hairs will follow as he/she matures at 8-12 months. To keep their thick coat free of mats, Pomeranians require regular brushing.

Pomeranians have enormous charm, a tremendous personality and an overwhelming affection, love and understanding for their owner. If you once owned a Pomeranian, you will never again want to be without one!
