Updated July 27, 20261 min readCited sources

Pomarian is most likely a misspelling of **Pomeranian**, a small toy dog breed of the Spitz type. Known for its fox-like face and fluffy double coat, the breed is named after the Pomerania region in Central Europe.

What it is

The Pomeranian is a toy breed descended from larger Spitz-type dogs. It is compact, with a fox-like head, upright ears, and a profuse double coat that often forms a ruff around the neck and chest. Common colours include white, black, orange, cream, sable, and many others.

Key details

Adult Pomeranians typically weigh 3–7 lb and stand 6–7 inches tall, though some sources give slightly broader ranges. Their lifespan is about 12–16 years. They are not hypoallergenic due to shedding and dander from their thick double coat.

Why it matters

Pomeranians are popular companion dogs in Canada, recognised by Canadian dog-fancy and veterinary sources as a toy breed commonly kept as a small household pet. Their small size and lively personality make them a common choice for urban and suburban homes.

  • They are small (3–7 lb, 6–7 inches tall) with a fox-like face and fluffy double coat.
