Ratings out of 5⭐
Adaptability ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Apartment Friendly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Pomeranian is good for apartment living. These dogs are very active indoors and will do okay without a yard. Be careful they do not overheat in hot weather.
Barking Tendencies ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cat Friendly ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Child Friendly ⭐⭐
Not Good with Kids: In isolation, this dog breed might not be the best option for kids. However, to mitigate the risks, have the puppy grow up with kids and provide it with plenty of pleasant and relaxed experiences with them. This breed is also friendly toward other pets and very friendly toward strangers.
Dog Friendly ⭐⭐⭐
Exercise Needs ⭐⭐
Poms need a daily walk. Play will take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all breeds, play will not fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs that do not get to go on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. They will also enjoy a good romp in a safe, open area off lead, such as a large, fenced-in yard.
