When I first bought my Pomeranian (Romeo, pictured above) I didn’t really I have a preference. I just knew I was looking for a white or tan one. It wasn’t till after I bought him when I began to wonder was his color going to matter? I knew I would want to breed him eventually and I had never given much thought to whether or not different colors were more valuable or a had higher demand. I also wasn’t sure if color determined whether your dog was thoroughbred or not. When I did my research, I found that Pomeranians came in many different colors, and all very of equal value. I also learned that they came is many different colors then other than the basic tan, black, and white. They come in sable, red, orange, cream, brown, tan, wolf sable, chocolate, and shockingly blue and lavender!
Some are solid of the colors I just listed and others are mixed which are called Parti-Colored Pomeranians. In dog shows some breeds of dogs lose points if they aren’t one solid color. With
Pomeranians parti-colored are looked at as unique and stand out just the same. Some are even given extra points for certain unique patterns in the color of the fur. Even though parti-colored is any mixed colored Pomeranian, there are three different kinds of this. There are Irish Parti, Piebald Parti, and Spotted Parti Poms. Irish Parti Poms have white around their necks, chest, and legs which I believe is what my Romeo is. Piebald Parti Poms are half of one solid color and half of another solid color. Spotted Parti Poms, also known as Extreme Parti Poms, have 80% white fur and different color spots of fur on their backs. Another thing I learned is that Pomeranians can change colors too! When they are puppies they might be one color and as they get older they might change to a totally different color. I thought that was very interesting!
So when it comes to choosing your Pomeranian, color really doesn’t matter. Your Pom will have just as much value as any other pom and maybe even a little more depending on its uniqueness. Choosing the color of your Pomeranian is all about your personal preference and choosing the cutest best friend you will ever have!
