Pomeranian Side Tear Checks

Throwback Poms

Pomeranians were bred down from Spitz dogs -- animals that were used in Iceland and other northern regions as sled dogs, hunters and herders.

In fact, it was Queen Victoria who fell in love with Spitz dogs and created a breeding program to reduce their size; that's how Pomeranians became the adorable little lap dogs you know and love today!

But even though the majority of Pomeranians are toy-sized and weigh just 3 to 7 pounds, there's a genetic anomaly that's responsible for a larger variety of the breed, known as the "Throwback Pomeranian."

The gene is a carry-over from those larger Spitz dogs, and when dominant, it results in Throwback Poms that are huge compared to average Pomeranians. Throwbacks weigh in at a whopping 14 to 20 pounds -- without being fat!
