Dogs and All about Them

This
tendency
to
advancement
in
public
favour
was
contemporaneous
with
the
formation
of
the
Pomeranian
Club
of
England,
which
was
founded
in
1891,
and
through
its
fostering
care
the
Pomeranian
has
reached
a
height
of
popularity
far
in
advance
of
that
attained
by
any
other
breed
of
toy
dog.
One
of
the
first
acts
of
the
club
was
to
draw
up
a
standard
of
points
as
follows:--
APPEARANCE--The
Pomeranian
should
be
a
compact,
short
coupled
dog,
well
knit
in
frame.
He
should
exhibit
great
intelligence
in
his
expression,
and
activity
and
buoyancy
in
his
deportment.
HEAD
AND
NOSE--Should
be
foxy
in
outline
or
wedge-shaped,
the
skull
being
slightly
flat,
large
in
proportion
to
the
muzzle,
which
should
finish
rather
fine
and
free
from
lippiness.
The
teeth
should
be
level,
and
should
on
no
account
be
undershot.
The
hair
on
the
head
and
face
should
be
smooth
and
short-coated.
The
nose
should
be
black
in
white,
orange
and
sable
dogs;
but
in
other
colours
may
be
self,
but
never
parti-colour
or
white.
EARS--Should
be
small,
not
set
too
far
apart,
nor
too
low
down,
but
carried
perfectly
erect
like
those
of
a
fox,
and,
like
the
head,
should
be
covered
with
short,
soft
hair.
EYES--Should
be
medium
in
size,
not
full,
nor
set
too
wide
apart,
bright
and
dark
in
colour,
showing
great
intelligence;
in
white,
shaded
sable,
or
orange
dogs
the
rims
round
the
eyes
should
be
black.
NECK
AND
BODY--The
neck
should
be
rather
short,
well
set
in.
The
back
must
be
short
and
the
body
compact,
being
well
ribbed
up
and
the
barrel
well
rounded.
The
chest
must
be
fairly
deep
and
not
too
wide,
but
in
proportion
to
the
size
of
the
dog.
