Which dog breed is right for you?
The Pomeranian descends from large sled-pulling spitz dogs of Iceland and Lapland, selectively bred down to toy size in the Pomerania region of northeastern Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries — Queen Victoria famously popularized the smaller variety. These tiny dogs weigh just 3 to 7 pounds and stand 6 to 7 inches tall, yet carry themselves with unmistakable confidence. Their magnificent double coat — a dense undercoat beneath a profuse, standoff outer coat — comes in nearly every color and pattern imaginable, with orange and red being most popular.
Pomeranians are vivacious, bold, and surprisingly commanding for their size — they have no concept of how small they are and will happily try to boss around much larger dogs. They are devoted to their owners and can be excellent companions for singles and seniors, though they may be too fragile and snappy for homes with very young children. Poms are intelligent and curious, learning tricks quickly, but they also have a strong independent streak inherited from their spitz ancestry.

The Weimaraner was developed in the early 19th century at the court of Weimar in Germany, where nobles bred these dogs to hunt large game — boar, bear, and deer — before transitioning them to bird dog duties as large game became scarce. These striking, athletic dogs stand 23 to 27 inches tall and weigh 55 to 90 pounds, with a sleek, powerful build designed for speed and endurance. Their distinctive short, smooth coat comes in shades of mouse-gray to silver-gray — earning them the nickname "Gray Ghost" — complemented by striking amber or blue-gray eyes.
Weimaraners are fearless, friendly, and intensely devoted to their families — they crave human companionship and do not do well as kennel or outdoor-only dogs. They are energetic and playful with children, generally sociable with other dogs, and possess an intelligence that demands both physical and mental outlets. Without adequate exercise and attention, Weimaraners become anxious, destructive, and can develop severe behavioral problems.
The "Gray Ghost" is a magnificent companion for the active and committed — discover Weimaraners on Puplister.
