There is a lot of prejudice in the dog show world. There is also a lot of prejudice with some dog owners who see dogs as fashion accessories and not the family partners they crave to be if you give them half a chance. Pomeranians have always been popular, which has lead to some health problems. For decades, they have been bred for quantity rather than quality. Today, standard and exotic Pomeranian puppies are bred in misery in puppy mills. Puppy mills supply many Internet sites that sell puppies and all pet stores, no matter what color the puppy is.

Purebred Pomeranians can produce a large variety of colors and shades. But some colors are allowed in the show ring, some are not, and very few straddle both realms of "acceptable" and "not acceptable". Exotic Pomeranian puppies are only different from standard Pomeranian puppies in their coloring. Otherwise, they are Pomeranian puppies through and through.
Exotic Pomeranian puppies will still be built like standard Pomeranian puppies, no matter what their coat color. Since the Humane League of the United States says that one quarter of all abandoned pets are purebreds, the chances are good that your suspected exotic Pomeranian puppy is a purebred. This will help you determine what the strengths and weaknesses of your potential puppy are. You also will be better prepared for medical problems later on.

Exotic Pomeranian puppies will most likely be abandoned due to no fault of their own. Due to their small size, they (like most toy dogs) are difficult to housetrain. Tiny bladders mean they cannot hold that much. Some have been successful in training exotic Pomeranian puppies to use a litter box. Their coats shed a lot, and molt twice a year. At four to five months of age, exotic Pomeranian puppies can look quite scraggly. These coats need daily grooming, or else they get unsanitary quickly.
Exotic Pomeranian puppies are delicate, almost to the point of ridiculousness. They can be killed by jumping from your arms to the floor or by simply being stepped on. You need to always be aware of where such a creature is. Chihuahuas are tougher than a Pomeranian. Cats are tougher than a Pomeranian. Most breeds of rabbits are tougher than a Pomeranian. But if you don't plan to do any roughhousing and have a patient nature, then a Pomeranian can make a great friend.

Exotic Pomeranian puppies are wary of strangers, having been bred to guard their people. They may not jump up to the bars of their cage, wagging away, at the shelter. They usually cower in the back. You need to win their trust and friendship, which is usually pretty easy to do. Pomeranians cannot resist being adored, and a slow, steady person will soon have a bundle of exotic Pomeranian puppy in their laps.

All Pomeranian types make great companions. The more Pomeranian information you learn the better prepared you will be to raise one.
