Pomeranians are one of the toy breeds, but they pack a lot of personality into those little frames. With an appearance like a stuffed toy lion, it is easy to see why they have been so popular for so long. Their intelligence makes them incredibly entertaining to train and great companions.

These inquisitive little pups make fantastic watch dogs, even if their size makes them bad guard dogs.
