Dedicated to the affectionate and resourceful Pomeranian, this Smart Owner’s Guide, created by the editors at Dog Fancy magazine, offers the most up-to-date and accurate information every dog owner needs to become a well-informed caregiver for his dog. Illustrated with color photographs of adorable puppies and handsome adults, this easy-to-read primer is designed in a modern, lively manner that readers will find user-friendly and entertaining.

Each Smart Owner’s Guide offers a description of the breed’s character and physical conformation, historical overview, and its attributes as a companion dog. The reader will find informative chapters on everything he or she needs to know about acquiring, raising, and training this remarkable purebred dog, including: finding a breeder and selecting a healthy, sound puppy; preparing for the puppy’s homecoming, shopping for supplies, and puppy-proofing the home; house-training; veterinary and home health maintenance; feeding and nutrition; and grooming. Obedience training for basic cues (sit, stay, heel, come, etc.) and solving potential problem behaviors (barking, chewing, aggression, jumping up, etc.) are addressed in separate chapters, as are activities to enjoy with the dog, including showing, agility, therapy work, and more.

Entertaining tidbits and smart advice fill up colorful sidebars in every chapter, which the editors call ?It’s a Fact,” ?Smart Tip,” ?Notable & Quotable,” and ?Did You Know?” Real-life heroes and rescue stories are retold in full-page features called ?Pop Pups” and ?True Tails.” Recipes, training, and care tips are highlighted in the ?Try This” feature pages.

The Smart Owner’s Guide series is the only series that offers readers an online component in which dog owners can join a breed-specific online club hosted by dogchannel.com. At Club Pom, owners of the breed can find forums, blogs, and profiles to connect with other breed owners, as well as charts and checklists that can be downloaded. More than just 20,000 pages of solid information, there’s a host of fun to be had at the club in the form of downloadable breed-specific e-cards, screensavers, games, and quizzes.

The Resources section of the book includes contact information for breed-related organizations and rescues, as well as practical guidance on traveling with dogs, identification, and locating qualified professionals to assist the dog owner, such as pet sitters, trainers, and boarding facilities. This information-packed Smart Owner’s Guide is fully indexed.

FOREWORD: K9 Expert Education 
By Allan Reznik, Editor-at-Large, Dog Fancy magazine 
The Pleasure of a Pom 
Inside this tiny toy beats the heart of a big dog. 
The Pom in Profile 
Our simple two-page guide gives you all the necessary information about 
the Pomeranian - in 300 words or less! 
A Spitz in Time 
This miniature spitz breed derives its name from Pomerania, a province in 
northern Germany, but his fascinating history dates back to ancient Rome 
and Greece. 
The Pom Breeder 
Find out how to choose a reputable breeder and pick a healthy puppy, or 
maybe you'd like to adopt a dog from a shelter or rescue organization. 
Either way, there are plenty of Pomeranians out there waiting for homes. 
Home Essentials 
You need to puppy-proof, or Pom-proof, your house, as well as make sure 
that you have all the things he requires to be comfortable, such as 
bedding, toys and lots more. 
Successful Housetraining 
Your first job is getting your Pomeranian to do the doo where you want him 
to. Using a crate - aka a modern-day den - will expedite the process. 
Everyday Care 
Selecting a vet means doing some research and planning your Pom's first 
vet visit. Also, learn what to do when everyday bumps and bruises come 
about. 
Breed Health Issues 
Learn how to deal with external and internal parasites, skin problems, and 
common medical and behavioral conditions. 
How to Feed a Toy 
With proper knowledge and know-how, you can feed your Pomeranian a sound 
diet so he won't end up a pudgy pooch. 
Spritzing a Spitz 
From nail clipping instruction to brushing and bathing basics, we'll have 
your Pomeranian looking perfect. 
Techniques in Training 
Every toy dog needs to learn the basics of sit, down, stay and come, and 
additional training advice will make your dog obey without hassle. 
Problem Child 
A well-behaved dog isn't born that way. When problems arise, prompt 
training will turn bad habits into appropriate behavior. Teach your dog 
that there are better ways to get attention, and you'll save yourself a 
lot of headaches. 
Poms on the Go 
This toy breed loves to play and be active. You can harness his energy 
into productive activities like agility, flyball, musical freestyle, 
conformation and more.
