Well.. people who frequent chat may know that I've been looking at a pomeranian. This lady is rehoming her dogs, and I was going to look at a 2yr old male pomeranian. She has other dogs as well, and I went to meet the little dude and everyone else last night. Pomeranians are basically the only small dog I'll ever consider owning (maybe papillons, too.) Since my favourite breed, and a breed that I will probably own within 2 years is the Ibizan Hound, I think it's important to get the small dog first so the puppy can be raised around it.
The lady is really nice, I quite like her. She's really trying to find them good homes, even going to get me to sign a contract (dog comes back to her should it happens that I can't keep him/her, etc)
Anyways, so I'm a bit undecisive. I met two that I like. They're both healthy.
Boo:
He's the 2yr old neutered male.. he is a very happy calm laid back guy. But he is a Fatty McFatFat. I had to paw through some fat rolls to feel his ribs, however that can be fixed. He has good obedience, he's a bigger guy .. I think once he's at a correct weight he'll be 8 LBs or so. He's cute, although I did have a different picture in my brain from his summer pics.. however I can understand that his winter coat would change his appearance. He's the second cutest. (Sorry, but looks do factor into my decision as does personality. Maybe I'm just shallow. :lol-sign: Though it rates third compared to personality and health) I think he would make a great agility dog and competitive obedience dog.
Then's there's Casey
Casey is a 1 1/2 yr old (I think.) unfixed female. In pomeranians, the gender difference is more noticeable than other breeds and they are well.. bitches (or can be, sorry). She didn't really like the chihuahua female that this lady had, and made it obvious. Not a full blown fight just grumblegrumble. She, is by far the cutest of them all (like, serious cute cute foxy thing). She's a small little lady, at 4-5 pounds. She was the thinnest of the bunch, at a correct weight, although she needs some muscle. (because all of her dogs were packing some extra weight, but the lady means well.) She's a little more untrained than Boo, however Boo is older and a bit calmer. She wasn't as into me as some of the other dogs (the chi was totally enthralled with my presence. But I don't like chihuahuas, both boo and her were playin). She would make a good comp. obedience dog with some more elbow grease into her training.. since boo knows sit, down and stay better than she does. She's a bit barkier than Boo is. (Ya know, females need to be heard.)
I can take both on a "trial try-out." However I'm still unsure.. what do you guys think?
