Pomeranian (detailed introduction)

       Many people wanting to buy a Pomeranian often encounter this situation: they originally thought Pomeranians were only white or orange, but when entering a pet store they find Pomeranians come in a variety of colors. As a result, many begin to question which colors of Pomeranians are the most pure, and whether mixed-color Pomeranians are actually hybrids used by sellers to deceive uninformed customers. In fact, Pomeranians can have many colors, but white, orange, or dark gray Pomeranians are more common, so people think there are only these few colors.

       Pomeranian colors are also divided into solid and mixed. Solid color Pomeranians are usually black, brown, white, orange, or dark gray, and the fur of solid color Pomeranians must not contain other colors. If some spots appear, these dogs are generally judged to be crossbreeds, so their value significantly decreases. This is especially important for show dogs, for which fur color is extremely important.

       Mixed color Pomeranians include cream, black with brown, orange with gray, white with black, white with brown, etc. However, although these are mixed color dogs, not every mixed color Pomeranian is recognized as purebred. The spots on mixed color Pomeranians must be distributed over the entire body. Some dogs have spots only on specific parts like behind the ears, legs, or tail. These dogs cannot receive “purebred” certification.

       Some netizens have stated that some unscrupulous sellers dye hybrid dogs before selling them. To avoid purchasing such dogs, it’s best to ask fellow pet owners before buying whether they have recommended sellers or other channels to buy Pomeranians.
