Does a pomeranian's face change?

Hi, i have a 14 week old pomeranian. I have been looking at pictures of other pomeranians and the ones on the official AKC site have shorter snouts. Can pomeranians look different? As you can see, mine has a longer snout than normal. Did they lie to me when I bought him? Thanks.

  • Yep, she's a Pom just not a "show-quality" pom. If you were to enter her in dog shows, it wouldn't be allowed. I had a Pom who had the standard for the face, a very short snout. But her body was much longer than your average Pom. She was a pure-bred though. It's like how you can have apple-head Chihuahuas that are on the tiny side (show quality), and deer-head Chihuahuas who are tall (pet quality). Either way, the dog's still a dog. =]

  • Yes, they can look different. But it all depends on whether they are show or pet quality. My pom had a really short snout, but it has grown out further now. Your pom is pet quality, and there's nothing wrong with that!

    Good luck with your puppy!

  • the body looks like a pomeranian

    not the face

  • No, yours just isn't breed standard. It's pet quality, not show quality. Though it shouldn't matter if it's a pet :)

  • It's probably bad quality.

    May I ask where you got the puppy?

  • don't worry about that,he's cute!
