Learn everything there is to know about the enigmatic and highly famous White Pom-Pom!

What exactly is a White Pomeranian?

White is the breed’s original color, first appearing in 1892. But they lost their reign as orange began to dominate championships and carry home titles, and white became lost in the sea of breeders who worked so hard to produce more orange champions.

Unfortunately, adding and breeding for other colors weakened the white gene. Sometimes, colored genes are more dominant than white recessive genes. As a result, the White Pomeranian has become exceedingly uncommon in recent years.

The breed did not have as many color options when it was being raised in Pomerania, which is now known as Poland and Germany. These German Spitz relatives were once much larger than they are now. They were small to medium-sized sled dogs weighing 30 lbs (13.6 kg) or more.

Because of Queen Victoria’s fondness for these small dogs, they became famous in England and America. Her favorite dog was Marco, an Orange Pomeranian who won several awards. Then colored Pommies became common, and white Pommies were almost forced out of existence.

They are also available in a wide range of colors, as black and white, merle, or blue! But white Poms are finally on the rise again. The white coat color adds a dimension of majesty to the breed. An aspect that makes it a popular dog among celebrities in the United States.

What is the appearance of a White Pomeranian?

Pomeranians are a small dog breed with a dense coat. They wear a ruff around their heads, giving the impression that they are proud little dogs. This spitz dog has a tail that coils in on itself, resembling a waterfall of hair.

While their double coats should have a soft undercoat and a harsh topcoat, some White Pomeranians have soft topcoats, which is considered a defect. If you plan to enter your dog in a dog show, keep an eye out for this sort of incorrect coat. They should not have a silky smooth coat like the Maltese dogs.

They have v-shaped muzzles that are half the length of their skulls. According to the American Kennel Club, the ideal body shape is a lightweight, almost squarish body shape.

Size: How large can a White Pomeranian dog grow?

Poms usually reach full adult size by the age of ten months. If they are still gaining weight at that stage, you have what is known as a Throwback Pom. The Throwback Poms can weigh up to 20 pounds (9 kilograms)!

Teacup Pomeranian puppies, on the other hand, grow to be less than 3 lbs (1.4 kg) when fully grown.

Standard Poms can weigh 3–7 lbs (1.4–3.2 kg) and should stand no taller than 14 inches (36 cm), according to the AKC breed standard. Females may be larger than males, especially if they are intended for breeding.

White Pomeranians are divided into two types.

White Poms should have a full white coat with no yellow or cream undertones. Their eyes, noses, and paw pads should be black. If they lack pigmentation, they are a Pom with albinism.

Parti Poms have the piebald coloring, which is mainly white with a splash of another hue. Tri-Colored poms have three colors, one of which is white.

White Parti Poms with the dilute gene may have noses and eye rims that are liver or blue in color.

Some White Poms are simply really light creams.

White dogs born from partis are classified as parti, even though their markings cannot be determined.

Will White Pomeranian Puppies Retain Their White Coats?

All new Pom owners should be aware that Pom puppies do not always stay the same color as adult. Many white puppies will grow up to be Parti Poms or Cream Pomeranians.

With age, black puppies can turn brown or grey. Orange Sables are often born dark.

Their colors move and change until they grow out of their puppy coats and into their adult coats. This begins about 3–4 weeks of age and lasts until they are 10 months old.

You won’t be able to say whether a white puppy will stay white until he’s 8–12 weeks old. Pure White Pomeranians, on the other hand, would never have darker hair.

Signs that your puppy may not be a white dog are usually noticeable behind its ears.

Are White Pomeranians healthy family dogs in terms of temperament?

A Pomeranians often shadow his human because these dogs simply want to be close to their owners. You could find yourself calling for him only to discover that he’s been following you all along.

The Pomeranian breed, like many small breeds, is notorious for being difficult to potty train.

Because of their small size, they have small bladders and struggle to keep it in, so consistency is important. Crate training is also an effective approach for housetraining a toy group breed.

Separation anxiety is one aspect that can aggravate barking. Despite the fact that Poms are normally independent dogs, separation anxiety may occur.

They form close bonds with their owners and are steadfastly loyal. However, just like many other small dogs, the Pomeranians have a proclivity to develop small dog syndrome, so don’t spoil them.

How to Look After Your White Fluffy Pomeranian

Grooming:

How does grooming a White Pomeranian vary from grooming other Pomeranians?

White Poms deserve a little more care because it is tough to keep the pure white coat stain-free! Since they are sensitive to tear streaks, a good idea is to brush them often.

Many White Pomeranian owners have a cleaning spray that helps them to clean particular parts of the dog without washing it. Trimming the hair around their paws would also remove dirt off their feet. And baths should be very limited because too frequent bathing can cause their skin to dry out.

The good news is that Pomeranians don’t stink, so you can go longer between showers. Overall, cleaning a Pomeranian is relatively painless. Brushing them twice a week with a steel comb will keep their coat soft and healthy.

What do White Pomeranians eat?

They don’t need much and usually just eat 14–12 cups of kibble a day. But please don’t just buy the first dog food you see. As always, try to find good quality food for your dog. Do your homework before buying the products.

Your Pomeranians will stay healthy if you give him high-quality dog food designed specifically for small breeds. This is because a large breed kibble does not have the same food value as a small dog’s caloric needs. Furthermore, big breed kibble is usually much larger and more painful on the Pom’s small jaws.

White Pomeranian Welfare Problems and Genetic Diseases

Poms have a relatively long life expectancy, with an estimated lifetime of 12 to 16 years.

Purchasing from a reliable breeder will help ensure your dog’s survival. It will also assist in the avoidance of inherited health conditions in your puppy.

• They can also catch alopecia x, which causes their skin to turn dark and their hair to fall out. This black skin condition is not curable and does no damage to the dog other than cosmetically.
• A luxating patella is a loose kneecap that may inflict intense pain. Other joint issues, such as hip dysplasia, may occur in this breed.
• You should also be on the lookout for hypothyroidism, hypoglycemia, entropion, and distichiasis.
• White dogs are also correlated with deafness, so get your White Pom in for a hearing test and set your mind at rest.

A White Pomeranian puppy. How much does it cost?

Pomeranians are not inexpensive and breeding them is costly. Depending on the breeder, high-quality Pure White Pomeranians will cost between $500 and $5000.

Snow White Pomeranians are even more exspencive because they are difficult to breed.

The breeding phase is another aspect that affects their price. They, like bulldogs, may have problems giving birth spontaneously and could need a C-section.

You may find the White Pommie looks familiar… And you are right. They are a dead ringer for the Japanese Spitz!

The distinction is that Japanese Spitz are larger fitting into the small-medium size range. They can weigh up to 11 to 20 lbs (5 to 10 kg), with an average weight of 15.5 lbs (7 kg). These bigger dogs are also much more active than small Pom-Poms. They can also be more persistent, which makes them unsuitable for first-time owners.
