The Pomeranian And The Lion Cut

Pomeranians are very intelligent and also courageous little creatures that live an active lifestyle. They may not be quite so friendly with little children because being quite small and delicate they may be mishandled. In any case, Pomeranians make excellent watchdogs though they often bark a lot unless trained not to. And this breed of dog is also quite difficult to housetrain though they are very smart and will train with lots of time and patience.

Taking good care of your Pomeranian is very important and you may want to take him to the vet for regular checkups. In fact your pet should be given a check up at least once in a year and should be vaccinated on schedule as well. There are no doubts about the importance of grooming your Pomeranian both for keeping it looking good but also for health reasons. For these reasons the Pomeranian puppy cut might be the way to go because it will keep him looking his best all the time and will even ensure that he lives a long, healthy life. You should also pay special attention to cleaning his ears, teeth and nails, which are all important parts of grooming your Pomeranian.

If you plan to show your Pomeranian in an American Kennel Club competition, be careful not to have a short puppy cut done. Too much trimming can cause automatic disqualification for a sanctioned event. Trimming should be done to even the coat all over. Check the American Kennel Club website for allowances and standards before getting or giving your Pomeranian any haircut. Find a trained well-qualified groomer that specializes in Pomeranian show cuts, as most dogs need some trimming to achieve a great overall appearance.

If your dog is merely a pet, and especially if you have more than one Pomeranian, a shorter puppy cut can save lots of grooming and cleaning time. The more you cut the less there is to shed, leaving less hair to vacuum up. You might also end up with fewer health problems also, as longer hair can get matted or infected much more readily than shorter hair. Longer hair can require many hours of grooming each week.

Giving your pet a Pomeranian puppy cut can be a necessity for some. Busy working singles or physically restricted seniors may have trouble meeting the grooming needs of this sweet little dog. As a mostly indoor pet, the thick long coat might even be to warm for the Pomeranian. Every Pomeranian will have slightly different grooming needs, but will always be cute regardless of the haircut, as long as you meet its attention and discipline requirements.

Pomeranians are known for their long thick coats and also for the extensive grooming needed to maintain good looks and health. Whether cut short or left long, brushing the Pomeranians hair must be done on a regular basis. The hours of brushing the breed can be accomplished while watching television, chatting on the phone or even reading a book because a Pomeranian is satisfied lounging on your lap for hours and hours. This is an activity that both you and your Pomeranian will consider most enjoyable.
