The Pomeranian is a dainty toy dog with a profuse coat. They have minimal exercise needs and are well suited to apartment living. They are quite intelligent and take well to obedience training. They tend to be easily excitable and make good watchdogs as they will bark to let you know when a stranger approaches. It is very important to establish a regular grooming schedule to keep their long double coats from becoming hopelessly matted.
