The Official
Website for the American Pomeranian Club
The
American Pomeranian Club is the only
official AKC
National Parent Club to represent and be the
guardian of this
breed. We encourage and promote responsible,
ethical ownership and breeding of
purebred Pomeranians. Any profits made from
this site go directly to the American
Pomeranian Club, which is not operated for
profit or benefit of any member or
individual. All Club proceeds go toward
assisting related Pomeranian events,
education, health and genetics research,
welfare and rescue.
The
Pomeranian is a Nordic breed which takes
its name from the province of Pomerania,
now located in Germany. It was bred down
to its current 3 to 7 pound toy size from
larger ancestors which were used for
herding and for pulling sleds. Their
popularity was greatly enhanced by Queen
Victoria of England, who owned the first
Pomeranians to be shown. Pomeranians come in a
wide variety of coat colors and patterns.
These spirited, loving and loyal dogs
excel in the show ring, companion events
and as therapy dogs in nursing homes and
hospitals.
"The American Pomeranian Club stands
united in its opposition to euthanasia of
otherwise healthy Pomeranian dogs who have
Alopecia X sometimes known as Black Skin
Disease."
Lisa Vanderpump &
Jiggy
Housewives of Beverly Hills
star Lisa Vanderpump, her adored Pomeranian Jiggy,
and the American Pomeranian Club invite you to join
in the search for a genetic marker for Alopecia X
(also known as black skin disease or BSD, a severe,
unexplained coat loss in otherwise healthy dogs).
Please donate now to the AKC Canine Health
Foundation’s studies on Alopecia X.
Neither Mrs. Vanderpump nor the American Pomeranian
Club condones euthanasia of dogs affected by
Alopecia X.
