Toy Pomeranians are very pretty dogs ranging in size from 6 to 11 inches. They're known for their intelligence and outgoing personality which at one time earned them jobs as circus performers.
If you're interested in this breed, you've no doubt heard about the celebrity Pomeranian, Boo, who has been dubbed the "World's Cutest Dog" - not without good reason I might add! He's unbelievably cute.
Poms have a double coat which adds up to a lot of hair and shed continuously. If left in its natural state, the hair is very fluffy and long. Frequent brushing is a must to avoid the inevitable matting which seems to occur almost spontaneously with this type of coat!
Most groomers recommend that the coat never be clipped, but it's not uncommon for owners to opt to clip it anyway to cut down on the maintenance. Boo, has no doubt inspired many Pom owners to copy his attractive clipped look.
If you plan to clip your Pom at home, you will need a reliable set of clippers and a
slicker brush. The clippers shown below do a good job at a very reasonable price:
Here's a picture of Boo with his short cut and his brother with a traditional cut.
