Pomeranians are descendants of Spitz dogs. These Arctic animals pulled sleds and served as guard dogs (hence today’s Pom’s vocal personalities).
Poms have developed over the years. The first reference to them was in a 1764 diary entry by James Boswell. Queen Charlotte owned a pair of Pomerianians around the same time — albeit larger ones than today (30 to 50 pounds).
