Breed Review: Pomeranian (19 Pics)

#7 Eleven years later, the first exhibition was held, at which numerous breeders of Pomeranians competed for the right to become the best.

By that time, the Spitz could boast of a whole palette of colors. The animals in black, white, chocolate, cream, and blue drew everyone's admiration, but only one orange received the highest award. It was the Prince Charming Banner with a noble black coat, owned by Mrs. F. Smith. Famous champions of subsequent exhibitions were Pomeranian Spitz Dainty Mite (Graceful Baby), Princess Ula, and Twilight (Twilight). They all gave birth to numerous offspring.

#8 Despite the visible progress in breeding Pomeranian Spitz, American dog breeders continued to work on improving the breed, but soon abandoned the attempt to make the animals more miniature.

The severe decrease in body proportions led to the impossibility of procreation, which negatively affected the breeding of dogs. It was experimentally revealed that it is most difficult to maintain the blue color of Pomeranians, and white Spitz looked larger than their relatives with different coat color and therefore participated less often in exhibitions.

#9 It is worth noting that it was on the American continent that the correct name was fixed for the breed – the orange.

Others mistakenly called the Spitz either German or dwarf. This trend is now less common, although, in the FCI (International Cynological Organization) classification, Pomeranians are still registered under the name "German Spitz".
