Thank you all for the comments and support on this video! My latest video is now up - it's all about Pomeranian Separation Anxiety. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/HjznNPsVSGk/w-d-xo.html
My pomp turned out to be a throwback . She got up to 16 lbs. But, she wasn't fat. And taller. With a wolf face. She was a beautiful all black. Was the best birthday present. I miss her so very much. ❤😢❤❤❤😢 4:18
I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds exactly like my little guy. He's all black. 16 pounds. Fox face. Very tall... and attatched to my hip. And, of course, severely spoiled. ❤🐾
I have a throwback Pom named Frankie and he is around 15 pounds. He is the best companion and very playful. His one downside is that he barks whenever he hears a car door outside.
Hi there, I am Diane from Montana.. I had to put my Throwback down last June and my life is not the same without her. I am searching for a new Co-Pilot, do you know where I can find one? Willing to travel of course. Thanks!

My beautiful throwback Pomeranian passed 3 years ago at 11 years old due to the vets negligence. My heart was so broken that I cried constantly and missed him so much. I adopted another throwback Pom a year ago, who has helped me heal from my loss. They are the sweetest and most loving and very devoted dogs.
Hi there, I am Diane from Montana.. First I want to say I am profoundly sorry for your loss, I get it! I had to put my Throwback down last June and my life is not the same without her. I am searching for a new Co-Pilot, do you know where I can find one? I realize I will need to travel since Montana does not offer many options in this breed. Hope your heart will heal, it takes time...you never stop loving them!
My pom is 2 yrs old and 13 lbs. He was 4 lbs when I got him. I had never heard of a throwback so as he got bigger and taller I was shocked. But, now I understand his size and that it's not an abnormality. Thanks.
I have a throwback Pom, and he is such a wonderful boy I can't even describe it: happy, social, friendly, good balance of relaxed and energetic, affectionate, etc. His only downfall is his severe separation anxiety!!! We have done some training to help him through it, but in the meantime I literally never leave him alone. I do Kroger pick-up, drive thrus, etc.; and if he can't come I either don't go lol OR get a dog sitter. But I won't leave him to panic in fear. But yes, throwbacks are the best other than this one (significant) issue!

My throwback is amazing..she surprises me at how fast she learns things and understands what I'm saying..she is a rescue who had a horrible life before I got her...she doesn't leave my side and is very protective of me... I would never have another breed if something happened... I was always a cat person, but she has made me love her.. 😂😆

I have a "throwback" Pomeranian. I never knew that term was used for them. so cute! I adopted him thinking he would be like the standard Poms so I was surprised when he kept getting bigger haha but now i'm so glad i have him, he's the perfect size and such a sweetheart.

Your throwback pomeranian looks identical to mine in every way. In fact if they were side by side I would have difficulty picking out which is mine. Unfortunately my Pomeranian Simba passed away 2 weeks ago during surgery for hernia. He was only 7 years old and I had him since he was a puppy. There was nothing he loved more than food and he never knew when to stop. He got into a bag of kibble while I was away and he ended up eating until he developed a hernia. I miss him so much.
Thank you for watching. I'm so sorry to hear about Simba, that's heartbreaking. Throwbacks are extra special, in my opinion. My friend was mentioning the other day what a funny and eneregetic personality mine has. I feel that's true of all of them and why we fall in love with them so much.
So deeply sorry for your loss... I had to put mine down last June, Olive was 13+. My heart is aching, looking for another TB Pom if you know any sources. They are the best!

Excellent video! Love the throwback pomeranians. A lot of my friends don't believe me when i tell them that poms used to be bigger and had more laborious roles, so I show them this video.
We have a Throwback Pom that my husband brought home to me last October when she was 4 months old. I’d just lost my closest companion Emma, there in my thumbnail photo, to congestive heart failure the month before and I wasn’t holding it together very well. Emma was a miniature Chihuahua, she was never more than 6.5 lbs. Not only did we have Emma, but we also have Sookie 5 lbs, and Thor 7lbs, all miniature Chi’s. Imagine my surprise when taking a nap, I’m wakened to my husband setting this solid, at least 7lb. by that time, pup on my chest. lol She’s been a huge help to me in so many ways. She just keeps me so busy all day. I’m disabled, I have MS, so I am home 24/7 with my pups. She follows me everywhere I go, she’s my shadow. She’s incredibly intelligent, and she senses my mood. She looks like a black bear cub, so we were originally messing around with “Bear” type names. She’s also a comedian, if she’s doing something that makes you laugh, she’ll continue to do it for the attention. One of those things is to walk around on her hind legs like a circus bear, not only does she walk, she’ll mix it up and “hop” on them as well. So, my husband started calling her ‘CrazyBear’… and it stuck. She also answers to just ‘Crazy’. Not very dignified, but there it is. CrazyBear is a tad over 13 lbs at this point, but it’s our 5lb Sookie that rules the roost. We’re pretty sure Crazy thinks she’s a miniature Chihuahua 😉.

When my Pomeranian puppy grew three times as big as a regular small Pomeranian dog, I thought maybe he’s not pure breed, and he’s mixed with some other breed. One time a girl saw him in my car at a grocery store and told me that my Pomeranian is a throwback Pomeranian. I didn’t know what she was talking about but I came home and looked it up and learned that there is such a thing as a throwback Pomeranian. You are so right about Pomeranians befriending one specific human in the house. That’s exactly how my throwback Pomeranian Kai behaves. I have another dog a Shih Tzu poodle mix Charlie whom I got 8 years before getting the Pomeranian dog, and both of the dogs are very attached to me. They both follow me literally everywhere I go in my house, and they beg to go with me every time I have to leave my house. They both sleep with me. If I am in the kitchen they are sitting there waiting for me to finish cooking, or baking. If I’m in the laundry folding clothes they are there with me. If I’m in the bathroom they follow me there too. I’m telling you they follow me everywhere! Sometimes we are on my bed in my bedroom watching a movie and I have to get up to go get a drink or something and they will both jump off the bed and follow me into the kitchen. although they are both very much attached to me, and always want to be near me, the times when I am gone from home, both of the dogs will be sitting by the front door where there are two windows built into the front door looking out on the front driveway. The dogs are looking out of those windows waiting for me to pull up literally for hours. The Shih Tzu poodle dog will eventually walk away from that spot and go spend a little time with other family members, and then come back to the front door again, but the Pomeranian will never leave that front door even if it takes all day long. The Pomeranian doesn’t want to go to any other family members only me.
The only difference between a "regular" Pomeranian and a "throwback" Pomeranian is their size- that is it. A Pomeranian is a Pomeranian is a Pomeranian. AKC likes to have their own grouping for different dog breeds. They want Pomeranian to fall within certain parameters and everything else is wrong or "throwback". To be correct all Pomeranian are wrong since they originally were up to 50-60 pounds. Another thing I need to make sure people understand- dogs do not just get collapsed trachea. This happens from pressure being put on the throat, using a leash on a collar, pulling over time can cause this horrific condition. Collapsed trachea does not effect only Pomeranian-all dogs are susceptible to this condition. The best thing you can do for your dog of any size is to use a harness. A collar is fine for tags but a leash should never be connected to it, a leash should only be connected to a harness.

I had a small Spitz/Pom, Throwback Pom, like yours. She lived to be 14 but finally passed from heart failure. She was my favorite dog of all time. I’ve owned many Poms, from teacup size to the Zwergspitz. They’re my favorite dog breed. They are such sweet and also very intelligent dogs. I’m planning to get another Pom or a Spitz. Your dog is so beautiful💕💖

I have one of these poms. I had never heard the term Throwback Pom but it makes so much more sense. People always get confused when they see our pom because he has such long legs. He also weighs about 16lbs so that's another thing that confuses people. I love him and he does love to cuddle with me wherever I am.

I think we have a throwback pom. We got him from a shelter. He has the red/orange fox look. A big bushy tail. He weights 15 lbs and is 12 in from the floor to his shoulder. We were told he was a German Spitz/ Pom from down in Tenn. We got him with heartworm. I am glad to say he is doing great today and a real pleasure to have. He is a year a d a half, so I hope we have many years together!
I was told that mine was a German Spitz too, from the shelter I adopted him from. But I did a DNA test on him through Embark which confirmed he was a Pom.
@@Jlevin1955 It was $100. I got it on Amazon. Here's the link, in case you are interested. www.amazon.com/Embark-Dog-Test-Breed-Identification/dp/B07HHF1VLH/ref=sxts_rp_s1_0?cv_ct_cx=Embark+DNA&keywords=Embark+DNA&pd_rd_i=B07HHF1VLH&pd_rd_r=94ff7d0c-bb4e-41eb-a5d0-92ce9e0ba330&pd_rd_w=W2xti&pd_rd_wg=mqZAa&pf_rd_p=29dcfc78-5030-4047-b3bb-fd095cf7aa8a&pf_rd_r=08SZN5Z4E8VQC9XQYQHJ&psc=1&qid=1637548934&sr=1-1-f0029781-b79b-4b60-9cb0-eeda4dea34d6
Honestly I love throwbacks. I love the more fox looking features, it looks more healthy than the more smooshy teddy face even though they may not be the case as you pointed out.
Yes! We’ve had a Throwback Pomeranian that looks like a Spitz! He weighs around 25+ lbs and has bonded with my husband primarily, but is my shadow and sometimes clingy when my husband is at work. He has a quirky temperament and often growls while playing, being approached or touched. He sends mixed signals and is filled with “grumpy old man syndrome”. He’s a rescue and we’ve had him since 2015. I am the only one that can groom and bath him and only if he’s in the mood. We must muzzle him for the vet. As he was born 2013, I don’t know his experiences his first two years, but he’s a suspicious, fearful dog that is wonderfully playful, talkative and secure around only my husband and myself. I have another dog that I trained as my service animal that I don’t require anymore outside the home. She’s a calming effect on Anyone. I have brought her to groups of dogs that are not getting along and she does something that corrects the bad attitudes. It might be a strong mothering message, but it’s a mystery to see it happen over and over.
I have two from the same litter. Carlitos is 20 lbs., and his sister Selena is 14 lbs. She looks more foxlike. He is tri-colored and looks somewhat like a Sheltie with a bushy tail. They are both very bonded to me. I adore them both.

My Pom Gigi passed in Oct 25 boy I don't think I'll ever get over her being gone. She was my ❤. I'm considering another one but I'm just not sure. They are so sweet.
Sorry for your loss. I've had 3 Poms over the years. My current Pom is a rescue from Russia. Also have a mini Schnauzer and 2 cats. Wish I could have more pets but already over my allotment at my condo complex!
My Oliver is a 20 pounder! I get anxiety when I have to leave him also. He’s red and white and has a lions mane. I looked up xl Pom a few years ago when he kept growing Love him to the moon and back! Am retired now, it’s nice Thanks for the vid! Have a Blessed evening!

Size is very important to Pomeranian heads. We lost our Patrick in February, and he was always 7.5 - 9.0lbs. but just muscular and not fat or oversized - he was a pure bred. I recently bought my new Gustavo and at five months he was already 11.5lbs. and the breeders have his paperwork to prove he's pure bred, but he was WAY less expensive than his siblings because he is just way too big to show. I think he's got 20lbs.+ in him. and in the month I've had him he's already up to 14.5. Having been the owner of both sizes, Gustavo is a friggin athlete compared to Patrick. He can jump on the bed which is a 12" wooden frame, 10" box springs, and a 10 - 12" mattress with about 8" of blankets and he barely needs to get any speed to jump up there. He is also thick enough that I am less worried about turning him loose on the property (10 acres in the deep woods, Sierra Nevada Wilderness) when the time comes. He's just more robust, and he's also stupid fast. I have run a 5 minute mile in my life, and I can still run very fast, but Gus is damn near faster than me. I can barely catch him. Behavior wise they are both very similar and both have/had a chip on their shoulder(s). Both want(ed) to lead the pack and bark their heads off at *E V E R Y T H I N G* Both incredibly smart and ballsy. If anyone is thinking about getting a throwback, all I can say is: DO IT!

Your dog is beautiful, looks a lot like my Throwback I just lost last June due to congestive heart failure... Needless to say, my heart was broken and has had a profound effect on me. Olive was my 24-7 Co-Pilot Adventure girl. I am currently looking for a new Co-Pilot, do you know where I can find one? I am in Montana which offers nothing of this breed, so I am prepared to travel. Please, anybody out there, help me find my next throwvback Pom, they are the best!
I have a throwback Pomeranian from a rescue centre. Adopted as an adult. I already had an adopted cat and when I retired I wanted a dog as a hiking companion. I had a baby door built so that the cat could be kept upstairs while they get used to each other's smell and sounds. But as I brought him inside, the cat jumped over the baby door, sidled up to the dog and rubbed himself against Gaspode the dog. They have been close friends ever since. They sleep together and play together and the cat even grooms Gaspode. I've even seen Gaspode licking his paw and wiping his face, like a cat. They taste each other's food like an old married couple picking at each other's food. He hated walking at first. I couldn't get him to the end of the road. He'd pull to get back home or just sit down and look at me pleadingly. The vet said I could persist. I decided not to indulge his fears. Tough love. I discovered Gaspode thoroughly loves car rides and he learnt that at the end of the car ride, there is a hike which he will have to endure.And after two years, I suddenly realised he was enjoying the hike. He was relaxed, trotted along instead of creeping along; takes an interest in sounds in the woods, instead of cringing with fear. He is now the eprfect hiking companion. Unlike my previous companion he doesn't dash off into the underbrush, but stays nearby. He ignores squirrels! We are the happiest trio in the whole world.
We've had two Spitz; a Keeshond (Grosse- Spitz), and an 'American Eskimo' (Mittel- Spitz) and they are alike enough to where I think we can generalize across the relative sizes. Both are exceptional, easily the best dogs I've encountered over my own 50+ years of dog ownership and care. You can't go wrong with a German Spitz! : )
Thank you for your video. I’ve a Pom & like most, never want another breed. My husband has always had big dogs, so I was researching the larger Pom breeds. Thank you for your informative video!
I have a 4 year old pom named Louis, like Louis Vuitton. He's 17lbs. I asked my vet if he is a throwback or has some throwback, but they said no, he's just a little bigger. Who knows lol, at the end of the day he's a pom and I love him very much!
I have 3 Poms. Two of them are standard (7 lbs) and one is a throwback (14 lbs) The throwbacks are much healthier dogs and I actually prefer them. My throwback girl had 3 whelping's between the age of 2 and 5. One per year. And not until after the second heat. After her third whelping I had her fixed as I ran out of friends and family to give them to. I could never bring myself to sell any of them because I wanted to know exactly where they were going and who would be the Pom parents. She had 5 pups each time, we lost one pup out of the 15. I gave it mouth to mouth but it didn't survive. One of my Poms has CHF and due to the CHF also has collapsed trachea. I now have to cook for him as he has to have a no salt diet, no candles, no sprays, no perfumes, cool mist humidifiers in the bedroom and living room that run 24/7 and he gets 4 different meds every 12 hrs. I love these little people and there is nothing I wouldn't do for them.
I adopted Beau (7 lbs) at age 12 and 1/2 as his owner couldn't afford his CHF meds. He was a great pup but I only had him for 1 and 1/2 years before his heart failed. That cough was horrible to listen to; Lasix helped a bit. Now have a 4yo Throwback weighing a solid 17 lbs.

We had one that liked to stay in his crate or under furniture, we did not know why he was hiding and stealing food. It was cushing's disease and he passed away at only 10 yrs old and his body grew to 33lbs. It was so sad, we loved him so, and we did not know what was wrong with him until it was late. He looked just like a fox and was so funny and lively like a clown before he got very rotund and could not walk. I do not know if this disease is genetic. He was our good boy all the way!! Thanks for covering this breed!
My Pom is about 11 lbs. he’s more of a throwback and I love it. He does go nuts when I leave. But like you said he’s gotten used to it. I’m glad I’m not the only one who deals with this 😀
I breed Poms and have 7. One is a throwback that we don't breed. She is very sweet but uses her size to move the others out of the way to get petted, lol. We have only one who has separation anxiety. He barks and turns circles wildly till we're out the door.

When I got my Pomeranian puppy, I quickly learned that he would be anywhere between 15 and 20 pounds in weight. The vet advised me that he might be a throwback Pomeranian, so I am here to learn more about them.
My Nardole is a larger pom at a bit over 12 pounds, he’s wonderful and very energetic and indeed hates being left alone…he does well with my 2 senior chihuahuas (one average chi size, one slightly larger), which really helps with the separation anxiety. Great video…thanks for telling us about the throwbacks! ❤️
Rescued a Black and White Pomeranian thinking he was a regular Pom. He was bigger than we expected when they delivered him to us. He was so very skinny and in poor shape, balding, bad breath, discoloration of his eyes. His before and after pictures at 3/6/12 months didn't look like the same dog. He stopped growing at 17 pounds and just over 15 ½ inches. Pepper is some where around 14 plus years old according to his veterinarian of which about 12 of those with us. He has lost most of his vision in his left eye. He loves every body.
I have a Throwback Pomeranian .. 17 pounds & he’ll be 2 in August .. most ppl thinks hes a mixed breed due to his size but Nah he’s all Pom .. Love my boy Champagne 🐕

i love that name throwback my baby freddy started out small but he starting getting bigger over the months . what ever he's not perfect but i would not change him for the world
Great video, very interesting. We have a standard Pom...a really loving, intelligent little girl. She loves her routine and makes sure we stick to it! :) We certainly understand the separation anxiety you described, but now that we are working and studying more from home...she loves it! :) We absolutely hear your advice about being careful with her around small kids when we are at the park...and even other bigger dogs. Even if the other dogs are playful, the size difference can make it risky for our little Pom.
My bby that I've had forever now is a throwback pom but I didn't know till a couple years ago when someone asked me about it. I knew he was bigger than other poms but just thought he was a big boyo and thought nothing of it. He's still around today but is really old. Wish I got to bring him with me when I left home but my mom has been spoiling him in the same ways I used to so at least he's happy.
I have a Mittel Spitz, 25 lbs. I adopted him when he was 10 along with a bonded Yorkiepoo. His name is Haze and he is the bossiest dog in my pack of 4. He does the strangest things but he keeps me amused and I love him very much. Even though he snores louder than a human old man and keeps me up at night. Lol!
My Pomeranian weighs 14 pounds and is strikingly beautiful. She is a great companion for my Pekingese, who has separation anxiety. They are both rescues.
Good job,.. I would add that Pomeranians were bred down from sled dogs in Iceland and then came to what we now know as Germany -- well after WWII is now Poland. So a breed that has moved around the globe and has been perfected by over 800 years of breeding for personality and disposition. Sadly, smaller POMS do have health issues and a Throwback does have less.
I adopted two month old Pomeranian female which doesn’t look like one that I know. She was already 3 lb and after 4 month she is 7 lb. So I searched it and found that she is throwback Pomeranian. I love my puppy and she is so adorable and love to see people and dogs. Yes biggest problem is loneliness, she does mess up the house when I am away. Ripping pads, poop on carpet and so on. I am just wondering how big throwback Pomeranian grow? She is 4 1/2 month old and 7.5 lb.
Have 11 lb.Pom very energetic, high prey drive, hard to train and playful. It’s black and white, had 2 brown ones @6 lb. very docile easily trained. Does color have anything to do with breed characteristics? It is not fat according to vet.
I have a 5kg fox face Pom, shes fearless, and she’s not bothered when left alone or left in the dark. She was the mutt of the litter and was bullied by her siblings. She grew up to be the toughest of the litter.

I just rescued a Pom that is 14 pounds. He must be a throwback Pom. He is 4 years old. We have worked on some behavior things but he still won’t let me brush him without nipping.
Hi. I adopted a pom at 4mos. from a previous owner. The previous owner was my sister’s neighbor who realize after a few months with the pup that it wasn’t going to work. So when I received the pup, I thought he would be a standard pom but grew to a weight of 15-20lbs and people was surprised when I told them he was a pom. I reviewed information on the Pomeranian and also found out that he was a spritzer descendent and that he was in the medium group. I also purchased another pom at 2 mos. from a breeder and he is a standard or dwarf group. He will be 2 yrs old this year and weighs 6-8lbs. They get along great with each other and with the cat who is the same age as my older dog. I love my boys.🦮🐈🦮❤️. The video was very informative and I feel that you can’t have too much information when dealing with pets.
I had one of these. I was told that he was a “biscuit” colored Eskie. We even named him Biscuit. Obviously I was misinformed because he was identical to your dog in looks and personality. However with Biscuit life was all about him as he was super smart, dexterous and fearless and yeah, couldn’t ever be left alone. He cried in the back seat of the car. He climbed a bookcase to get a bottle of Advil because it rattled. Found him with just in time🤦🏻♀️

I just adopted a 1 yr old pomeranian because his previous fur parents doesnt have enough time anymore to take care of him anymore , and one of the things ive noticed when ive adopted this pomeranian was he is abit bigger than other pomeranian which is just fine with me but i didnt know throwback pomeranian exist also another thing that i noticed was the extreme separation anxiety of this dog its crazy ive never had a dog which just wanna stick with me and wanted to be touch every second of the day ,luckily im just a 16 year old guy that is always at home so i never really leave him alone and base on your video they seems to have longer lifespan than smaller pomeranian , i really hope i could grow with this pomeranian until my 20s or 30s

Cool. Was always wondering what kind of dog my rescue is. Looks like he's a throwback mixed with kintamani (Bali mountain dog). Most intelligent and caring little guy. Makes sense now why he cries outside waiting for me loyally everytime I go play golf (although Mondays he's allowed on the course and he loves it). Thanks for the video
I just adopted a 2 year old "throwback" Pom from a shelter. He's weighing in at 13 lbs. I receive him in 3 days after he get neutered. I'm excited but yet anxious/nervous to see how well he gets along with my 2 cats, age 13 and 7
I have a 4 year old Throwback Pom called Teddy. He is fine on his own during the day although I don't leave him for more than 5 hours (due to work) without getting home to see to him.
I had one, and he was absolutely gorgeous, so much so that I could only walk him for 2 mins in town before someone wanted to pet him again! Lol. I had to often say "no, I am sorry you can't pet him". But he behaved more like a bigger dog.

Hi there. My Pommie is a rescue.... Well I took him from a lady who was very abusive to Neka. Went to court, an luckily I recorded every time she hit him.... As for breeder's of Pommies, I have no clue really. But if I do hear of something, I will surely message you an info

I'm retired and have a 4 yr throwback pom through a rehome. But sometimes I have to be gone for 4 hrs and he goes in his kennel and it's no problem. he has a sweet spunky personality. the problem is that he was never trained. so sit, come, wait, stay, i go through the door first are being learned :-)
My first pom passed last June from cancer she was almost 13. She was a throwback,and weighed 15 pounds. My puppy is 11 months old and is a throwback too.My breeder said he will weigh 9lbs full grown like his parents.He weighs 16 pounds now and he is not overweight. I got lucky again because I like them bigger and sturdier.
My throwback Pom is 2 year old Millie....she's the most affectionate sweet little girl I've ever met!! She looks exactly like Jimmy colour and everything! We are home with her always so she's fine. Millie would play fetch all day if you let her lol
I grew up with a throwback pomeranian named Schatzi who passed away in 2019 at age 12. He'd never leave my side and we were extremely close. His loss still hurts often. Wanting to get another throwback at some point but don't know how to find them as, from what I understand, their genetics are a complete flook and there's no way to tell a throwback from the rest of a pom's litter. They also don't last long at shelters because everyone wants a pom.
When we rescued Yankee I thought he was a mixed breed Pom. He was 12 pounds at 8 months! I started looking online & found pictures of Throwback Poms that looked exactly like him. Yankee's a wonderful companion, very playful & affectionate. Luckily no separation issues! He's 4 years old now & weighs 21 pounds.
Hi there, I am Diane from Montana.. I had to put my Throwback down last June and my life is not the same without her. I am searching for a new Co-Pilot, do you know where I can find one? Willing to travel of course. Thanks!
@@dianeingalls5025 My dog was given to me by a third party rescuer. I was told he came from Virginia. I do not know where to find another. Wish I could help.
Throw backs, it's just a bigger size. I adopted a Pomeranian He's on the bigger size about 10lbs. I have been searching for a throw back Pom for a year now. I can't seem to find a breeder in Ontario, Canada. I'll keep searching around.

Yes I have a throwback pom and this video has helped explain things so much! She is 13 lbs and everyone I meet say oh that's a Spitz isn't it thanks so much
I've had 4 poms so far, and two of them are in between the "standard" and "throwback" (11-12 lbs). Both of them are girls! The standard poms I've had are boys.

I have a throwback Pomeranian, her name is little girl. She's black in color. Is there anything else you can tell me about this bread of dog? Like type of food or anything else? Please let me know if you can help me with anything else. Thank you
We have exactly what you describe he was supposed to be aTeacup but to be honest I am glad he grew bigger as I was always scared of hurting him growing up with German Shepherds , he is now 12 years old and a great companion to me and goes almost everywhere I go , he is very well behaved and playful and great with other dogs but does not like it when other people touch him ,be they strangers or people we have know for along time , if nobody bothers him there is not a problem , anyone can give him a biscuit or play ball but if they go for a stroke thats curtains , sometimes he surprises me by not having a go but that is the exception to the rule , he is by know means a lap dog but I can handle him anyway I want and he will sleep with me if he wants , he is also good with the vet . He has been with us from 12 weeks old and has never been mistreated so dont know why he does not like people ,but as I say I can take him anywhere with lots off people or even sit around a campfire no trouble ,but if someone tried a stroke god knows , trouble is I don't know who he will not take to , I put it down to little Man Syndrome as apart from that he has been the perfect dog .
My Pomeranian is larger. Almost the size of a fox. He's precious. And yes, I can't ever leave him alone. But I've adjusted. And I consider him my greatest joy. He always makes me smile.❤
thank u for this video! i have had to tell ppl that my pomeranian is really a true size pom snd the toy pom is a man made variation. i had never heard of throwback poms until this video! I have had Elsa Mae for 3 years and she is 10yrs old this fall with the nature of a whole puppy. She loves her man man Bubby thr 4.5lb chihuahua that is my service dog. Elsa is the blessing iw as not expecting!!
Hi, do you have any recommendations for how to get a throwback? I watch Petfinder constantly because I want a rescue, but most of the Poms I see on there are the tiny guys.
Foxie Dog is 20.3 pounds, people think she weights too much, I say she just has A lot of hair. Foxie was born June 8,2012. She just had her big 10 year Burfday Pawty, picture book cake and lots of kisses
Yup, when I was single, I took my Pom absolutely everywhere & never left him alone. Lucky for us, both my husband & myself work mostly from home so he’s never alone. He’s old now & we never leave him alone… one of us is always with him. Agree too… Don’t buy a Pom if you have small kids… their bones are so tiny & fragile. Adoot: LA has SO many Poms & Pom mixes available for adoption.
Hey There, do you suggest in the near future okay maybe end of the year I was hoping to adopt a throw back. Would you suggest a female or another male for me. I don't do face book. I love my Hudson but feel maybe a buddy would be good for him. What are your suggestions for me? Or he's fine alone.? Also he was a retired show dog. I taught him to stand on two feet and turn around, but challenging to training him to sit. When you're a show dog you don't sit, my breeder told me.
Great question. I can't give any professional advice, but maybe try using toys that are a bit of a time distraction, like the Kong rubber balls that you can put peanut butter in. Maybe that will help them to stay both occupied and sink their teeth into something other than skin, lol.

My pomp turned out to be a throwback . She got up to 16 lbs. But, she wasn't fat. And taller. With a wolf face. She was a beautiful all black. Was the best birthday present. I miss her so very much. ❤😢❤❤❤😢 4:18
I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds exactly like my little guy. He's all black. 16 pounds. Fox face. Very tall... and attatched to my hip. And, of course, severely spoiled. ❤🐾
I have a throwback Pom named Frankie and he is around 15 pounds. He is the best companion and very playful. His one downside is that he barks whenever he hears a car door outside.

My beautiful throwback Pomeranian passed 3 years ago at 11 years old due to the vets negligence. My heart was so broken that I cried constantly and missed him so much. I adopted another throwback Pom a year ago, who has helped me heal from my loss. They are the sweetest and most loving and very devoted dogs.
This is so sad! I'm sorry for the loss of your little friend.
Hi there, I am Diane from Montana.. First I want to say I am profoundly sorry for your loss, I get it! I had to put my Throwback down last June and my life is not the same without her. I am searching for a new Co-Pilot, do you know where I can find one? I realize I will need to travel since Montana does not offer many options in this breed. Hope your heart will heal, it takes time...you never stop loving them!
Have a rescue Pom. He is just precious. Has a loving personality. Great companion dog.
My pom is 2 yrs old and 13 lbs. He was 4 lbs when I got him. I had never heard of a throwback so as he got bigger and taller I was shocked. But, now I understand his size and that it's not an abnormality. Thanks.
I have a throwback Pom, and he is such a wonderful boy I can't even describe it: happy, social, friendly, good balance of relaxed and energetic, affectionate, etc. His only downfall is his severe separation anxiety!!! We have done some training to help him through it, but in the meantime I literally never leave him alone. I do Kroger pick-up, drive thrus, etc.; and if he can't come I either don't go lol OR get a dog sitter. But I won't leave him to panic in fear. But yes, throwbacks are the best other than this one (significant) issue!
Thanks for sharing! They really are such great little dogs!!
Same! Love them!

My throwback is amazing..she surprises me at how fast she learns things and understands what I'm saying..she is a rescue who had a horrible life before I got her...she doesn't leave my side and is very protective of me... I would never have another breed if something happened... I was always a cat person, but she has made me love her.. 😂😆

I have a "throwback" Pomeranian. I never knew that term was used for them. so cute! I adopted him thinking he would be like the standard Poms so I was surprised when he kept getting bigger haha but now i'm so glad i have him, he's the perfect size and such a sweetheart.
Most throwbacks aren’t really throwbacks

@@Ballsackeruuuuuu believe me, I have... nothing available. Thanks!
Your throwback pomeranian looks identical to mine in every way. In fact if they were side by side I would have difficulty picking out which is mine. Unfortunately my Pomeranian Simba passed away 2 weeks ago during surgery for hernia. He was only 7 years old and I had him since he was a puppy. There was nothing he loved more than food and he never knew when to stop. He got into a bag of kibble while I was away and he ended up eating until he developed a hernia. I miss him so much.
Thank you for watching. I'm so sorry to hear about Simba, that's heartbreaking. Throwbacks are extra special, in my opinion. My friend was mentioning the other day what a funny and eneregetic personality mine has. I feel that's true of all of them and why we fall in love with them so much.
So deeply sorry for your loss... I had to put mine down last June, Olive was 13+. My heart is aching, looking for another TB Pom if you know any sources. They are the best!
I have four throwback pomeranians they are very smart and beautiful I love them all very much.

Poms are the best no matter what size :)
Excellent video! Love the throwback pomeranians. A lot of my friends don't believe me when i tell them that poms used to be bigger and had more laborious roles, so I show them this video.
Thank you!
What should you feed a throw back. Pom and how often should they be fed
We have a Throwback Pom that my husband brought home to me last October when she was 4 months old. I’d just lost my closest companion Emma, there in my thumbnail photo, to congestive heart failure the month before and I wasn’t holding it together very well.
Emma was a miniature Chihuahua, she was never more than 6.5 lbs. Not only did we have Emma, but we also have Sookie 5 lbs, and Thor 7lbs, all miniature Chi’s.
Imagine my surprise when taking a nap, I’m wakened to my husband setting this solid, at least 7lb. by that time, pup on my chest. lol
She’s been a huge help to me in so many ways. She just keeps me so busy all day. I’m disabled, I have MS, so I am home 24/7 with my pups. She follows me everywhere I go, she’s my shadow. She’s incredibly intelligent, and she senses my mood.
She looks like a black bear cub, so we were originally messing around with “Bear” type names. She’s also a comedian, if she’s doing something that makes you laugh, she’ll continue to do it for the attention. One of those things is to walk around on her hind legs like a circus bear, not only does she walk, she’ll mix it up and “hop” on them as well. So, my husband started calling her ‘CrazyBear’… and it stuck. She also answers to just ‘Crazy’. Not very dignified, but there it is.
CrazyBear is a tad over 13 lbs at this point, but it’s our 5lb Sookie that rules the roost. We’re pretty sure Crazy thinks she’s a miniature Chihuahua 😉.

When my Pomeranian puppy grew three times as big as a regular small Pomeranian dog, I thought maybe he’s not pure breed, and he’s mixed with some other breed. One time a girl saw him in my car at a grocery store and told me that my Pomeranian is a throwback Pomeranian. I didn’t know what she was talking about but I came home and looked it up and learned that there is such a thing as a throwback Pomeranian. You are so right about Pomeranians befriending one specific human in the house. That’s exactly how my throwback Pomeranian Kai behaves. I have another dog a Shih Tzu poodle mix Charlie whom I got 8 years before getting the Pomeranian dog, and both of the dogs are very attached to me. They both follow me literally everywhere I go in my house, and they beg to go with me every time I have to leave my house. They both sleep with me. If I am in the kitchen they are sitting there waiting for me to finish cooking, or baking. If I’m in the laundry folding clothes they are there with me. If I’m in the bathroom they follow me there too. I’m telling you they follow me everywhere! Sometimes we are on my bed in my bedroom watching a movie and I have to get up to go get a drink or something and they will both jump off the bed and follow me into the kitchen. although they are both very much attached to me, and always want to be near me, the times when I am gone from home, both of the dogs will be sitting by the front door where there are two windows built into the front door looking out on the front driveway. The dogs are looking out of those windows waiting for me to pull up literally for hours. The Shih Tzu poodle dog will eventually walk away from that spot and go spend a little time with other family members, and then come back to the front door again, but the Pomeranian will never leave that front door even if it takes all day long. The Pomeranian doesn’t want to go to any other family members only me.
The only difference between a "regular" Pomeranian and a "throwback" Pomeranian is their size- that is it. A Pomeranian is a Pomeranian is a Pomeranian. AKC likes to have their own grouping for different dog breeds. They want Pomeranian to fall within certain parameters and everything else is wrong or "throwback". To be correct all Pomeranian are wrong since they originally were up to 50-60 pounds. Another thing I need to make sure people understand- dogs do not just get collapsed trachea. This happens from pressure being put on the throat, using a leash on a collar, pulling over time can cause this horrific condition. Collapsed trachea does not effect only Pomeranian-all dogs are susceptible to this condition. The best thing you can do for your dog of any size is to use a harness. A collar is fine for tags but a leash should never be connected to it, a leash should only be connected to a harness.
I had a throwback pom for 13 years and he was amazing.
We had 2 throwback female Poms. Both were excellent dogs.

I had a small Spitz/Pom, Throwback Pom, like yours. She lived to be 14 but finally passed from heart failure. She was my favorite dog of all time. I’ve owned many Poms, from teacup size to the Zwergspitz. They’re my favorite dog breed. They are such sweet and also very intelligent dogs. I’m planning to get another Pom or a Spitz. Your dog is so beautiful💕💖
Aw, thank you! They are such precious beings. We're so lucky to have them.
Thank you. My Pom is my baby

I have one of these poms. I had never heard the term Throwback Pom but it makes so much more sense. People always get confused when they see our pom because he has such long legs. He also weighs about 16lbs so that's another thing that confuses people. I love him and he does love to cuddle with me wherever I am.

I think we have a throwback pom. We got him from a shelter. He has the red/orange fox look. A big bushy tail. He weights 15 lbs and is 12 in from the floor to his shoulder. We were told he was a German Spitz/ Pom from down in Tenn. We got him with heartworm. I am glad to say he is doing great today and a real pleasure to have. He is a year a d a half, so I hope we have many years together!
I was told that mine was a German Spitz too, from the shelter I adopted him from. But I did a DNA test on him through Embark which confirmed he was a Pom.
how much did the DNA test cost you?
@@Jlevin1955 It was $100. I got it on Amazon. Here's the link, in case you are interested.

Love it! Very informative. I miss my Jimmy
Honestly I love throwbacks. I love the more fox looking features, it looks more healthy than the more smooshy teddy face even though they may not be the case as you pointed out.
I seem to think the throwbacks are healthier too, as the toys breed keep getting a smaller gene pool or are selected not for health but for size.
@@hueyh5637 most throwbacks aren’t throwbacks
Yes! We’ve had a Throwback Pomeranian that looks like a Spitz! He weighs around 25+ lbs and has bonded with my husband primarily, but is my shadow and sometimes clingy when my husband is at work. He has a quirky temperament and often growls while playing, being approached or touched. He sends mixed signals and is filled with “grumpy old man syndrome”. He’s a rescue and we’ve had him since 2015. I am the only one that can groom and bath him and only if he’s in the mood. We must muzzle him for the vet. As he was born 2013, I don’t know his experiences his first two years, but he’s a suspicious, fearful dog that is wonderfully playful, talkative and secure around only my husband and myself. I have another dog that I trained as my service animal that I don’t require anymore outside the home. She’s a calming effect on Anyone. I have brought her to groups of dogs that are not getting along and she does something that corrects the bad attitudes. It might be a strong mothering message, but it’s a mystery to see it happen over and over.
I have two from the same litter. Carlitos is 20 lbs., and his sister Selena is 14 lbs. She looks more foxlike. He is tri-colored and looks somewhat like a Sheltie with a bushy tail. They are both very bonded to me. I adore them both.

Aww. I'm so sorry. You should rescue one. There are so many out there that need good homes!

Sorry for your loss. I've had 3 Poms over the years. My current Pom is a rescue from Russia. Also have a mini Schnauzer and 2 cats. Wish I could have more pets but already over my allotment at my condo complex!
My Oliver is a 20 pounder! I get anxiety when I have to leave him also. He’s red and white and has a lions mane. I looked up xl Pom a few years ago when he kept growing Love him to the moon and back! Am retired now, it’s nice Thanks for the vid! Have a Blessed evening!
Helpful little video thank you! I am considering adopting a throwback Pom and gathering as much info as I can 😊
You're welcome! Check all your local shelters, there are so many that end up there. They're great dogs - glad you are considering one!

Size is very important to Pomeranian heads. We lost our Patrick in February, and he was always 7.5 - 9.0lbs. but just muscular and not fat or oversized - he was a pure bred. I recently bought my new Gustavo and at five months he was already 11.5lbs. and the breeders have his paperwork to prove he's pure bred, but he was WAY less expensive than his siblings because he is just way too big to show. I think he's got 20lbs.+ in him. and in the month I've had him he's already up to 14.5. Having been the owner of both sizes, Gustavo is a friggin athlete compared to Patrick. He can jump on the bed which is a 12" wooden frame, 10" box springs, and a 10 - 12" mattress with about 8" of blankets and he barely needs to get any speed to jump up there. He is also thick enough that I am less worried about turning him loose on the property (10 acres in the deep woods, Sierra Nevada Wilderness) when the time comes. He's just more robust, and he's also stupid fast. I have run a 5 minute mile in my life, and I can still run very fast, but Gus is damn near faster than me. I can barely catch him. Behavior wise they are both very similar and both have/had a chip on their shoulder(s). Both want(ed) to lead the pack and bark their heads off at *E V E R Y T H I N G* Both incredibly smart and ballsy. If anyone is thinking about getting a throwback, all I can say is: DO IT!

Your dog is beautiful, looks a lot like my Throwback I just lost last June due to congestive heart failure... Needless to say, my heart was broken and has had a profound effect on me. Olive was my 24-7 Co-Pilot Adventure girl. I am currently looking for a new Co-Pilot, do you know where I can find one? I am in Montana which offers nothing of this breed, so I am prepared to travel. Please, anybody out there, help me find my next throwvback Pom, they are the best!

When I got my Pom I thought he’d be around 6 pounds. He’s 20.
You either feed him like a pig or its a spitz
Throwback Pom’s can grow to between 20-30 pounds.

Yea I saw a cute Pom who was about that weight.
I have a throwback Pomeranian from a rescue centre. Adopted as an adult. I already had an adopted cat and when I retired I wanted a dog as a hiking companion. I had a baby door built so that the cat could be kept upstairs while they get used to each other's smell and sounds. But as I brought him inside, the cat jumped over the baby door, sidled up to the dog and rubbed himself against Gaspode the dog. They have been close friends ever since. They sleep together and play together and the cat even grooms Gaspode. I've even seen Gaspode licking his paw and wiping his face, like a cat. They taste each other's food like an old married couple picking at each other's food. He hated walking at first. I couldn't get him to the end of the road. He'd pull to get back home or just sit down and look at me pleadingly. The vet said I could persist. I decided not to indulge his fears. Tough love. I discovered Gaspode thoroughly loves car rides and he learnt that at the end of the car ride, there is a hike which he will have to endure.And after two years, I suddenly realised he was enjoying the hike. He was relaxed, trotted along instead of creeping along; takes an interest in sounds in the woods, instead of cringing with fear. He is now the eprfect hiking companion. Unlike my previous companion he doesn't dash off into the underbrush, but stays nearby. He ignores squirrels! We are the happiest trio in the whole world.
We've had two Spitz; a Keeshond (Grosse- Spitz), and an 'American Eskimo' (Mittel- Spitz) and they are alike enough to where I think we can generalize across the relative sizes.
Both are exceptional, easily the best dogs I've encountered over my own 50+ years of dog ownership and care. You can't go wrong with a German Spitz! : )
@@positividadecoraje - I'll pass it on to my dog, he's always looking for a new trough, particularly if it leads to eternal biscuits.
Thank you for your video.
I’ve a Pom & like most, never want another breed. My husband has always had big dogs, so I was researching the larger Pom breeds. Thank you for your informative video!
I think my pom is a throwback pom or an Indian spitz coz here in India the dwarf poms are not common.
I have a 4 year old pom named Louis, like Louis Vuitton. He's 17lbs. I asked my vet if he is a throwback or has some throwback, but they said no, he's just a little bigger. Who knows lol, at the end of the day he's a pom and I love him very much!
I have 3 Poms. Two of them are standard (7 lbs) and one is a throwback (14 lbs) The throwbacks are much healthier dogs and I actually prefer them. My throwback girl had 3 whelping's between the age of 2 and 5. One per year. And not until after the second heat. After her third whelping I had her fixed as I ran out of friends and family to give them to. I could never bring myself to sell any of them because I wanted to know exactly where they were going and who would be the Pom parents. She had 5 pups each time, we lost one pup out of the 15. I gave it mouth to mouth but it didn't survive. One of my Poms has CHF and due to the CHF also has collapsed trachea. I now have to cook for him as he has to have a no salt diet, no candles, no sprays, no perfumes, cool mist humidifiers in the bedroom and living room that run 24/7 and he gets 4 different meds every 12 hrs. I love these little people and there is nothing I wouldn't do for them.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your story! They are precious.
I adopted Beau (7 lbs) at age 12 and 1/2 as his owner couldn't afford his CHF meds. He was a great pup but I only had him for 1 and 1/2 years before his heart failed. That cough was horrible to listen to; Lasix helped a bit. Now have a 4yo Throwback weighing a solid 17 lbs.

We had one that liked to stay in his crate or under furniture, we did not know why he was hiding and stealing food. It was cushing's disease and he passed away at only 10 yrs old and his body grew to 33lbs. It was so sad, we loved him so, and we did not know what was wrong with him until it was late. He looked just like a fox and was so funny and lively like a clown before he got very rotund and could not walk. I do not know if this disease is genetic. He was our good boy all the way!! Thanks for covering this breed!
My Pom is about 11 lbs. he’s more of a throwback and I love it. He does go nuts when I leave. But like you said he’s gotten used to it. I’m glad I’m not the only one who deals with this 😀
I breed Poms and have 7. One is a throwback that we don't breed. She is very sweet but uses her size to move the others out of the way to get petted, lol. We have only one who has separation anxiety. He barks and turns circles wildly till we're out the door.

When I got my Pomeranian puppy, I quickly learned that he would be anywhere between 15 and 20 pounds in weight. The vet advised me that he might be a throwback Pomeranian, so I am here to learn more about them.
My Nardole is a larger pom at a bit over 12 pounds, he’s wonderful and very energetic and indeed hates being left alone…he does well with my 2 senior chihuahuas (one average chi size, one slightly larger), which really helps with the separation anxiety. Great video…thanks for telling us about the throwbacks! ❤️
Thanks for watching!!
Rescued a Black and White Pomeranian thinking he was a regular Pom. He was bigger than we expected when they delivered him to us. He was so very skinny and in poor shape, balding, bad breath, discoloration of his eyes.
His before and after pictures at 3/6/12 months didn't look like the same dog. He stopped growing at 17 pounds and just over 15 ½ inches.
Pepper is some where around 14 plus years old according to his veterinarian of which about 12 of those with us. He has lost most of his vision in his left eye. He loves every body.
I have a Throwback Pomeranian .. 17 pounds & he’ll be 2 in August .. most ppl thinks hes a mixed breed due to his size but Nah he’s all Pom .. Love my boy Champagne 🐕
Hi there, I am Diane from Montana.. I had to put my Throwback down last June and my life is not the same without her. I am searching for a new Co-Pilot, do you know where I can find one? Willing to travel of course. Thanks!
i love that name throwback my baby freddy started out small but he starting getting bigger over the months . what ever he's not perfect but i would not change him for the world
Great video, very interesting. We have a standard Pom...a really loving, intelligent little girl. She loves her routine and makes sure we stick to it! :) We certainly understand the separation anxiety you described, but now that we are working and studying more from home...she loves it! :) We absolutely hear your advice about being careful with her around small kids when we are at the park...and even other bigger dogs. Even if the other dogs are playful, the size difference can make it risky for our little Pom.
Thank you for watching! I am going to do an entire video on separation anxiety soon, stay tuned!
My bby that I've had forever now is a throwback pom but I didn't know till a couple years ago when someone asked me about it. I knew he was bigger than other poms but just thought he was a big boyo and thought nothing of it. He's still around today but is really old. Wish I got to bring him with me when I left home but my mom has been spoiling him in the same ways I used to so at least he's happy.
Throwback Pomeranians are so much prettier, they look like fluffy foxes I saw one that looked identical to the old 1777 picture you showed.
I have a Mittel Spitz, 25 lbs. I adopted him when he was 10 along with a bonded Yorkiepoo. His name is Haze and he is the bossiest dog in my pack of 4. He does the strangest things but he keeps me amused and I love him very much. Even though he snores louder than a human old man and keeps me up at night. Lol!
My female is smaller but has that snout is super Intelligent. She’s very playful.
My Pomeranian weighs 14 pounds and is strikingly beautiful. She is a great companion for my Pekingese, who has separation anxiety. They are both rescues.
Good job,.. I would add that Pomeranians were bred down from sled dogs in Iceland and then came to what we now know as Germany -- well after WWII is now Poland. So a breed that has moved around the globe and has been perfected by over 800 years of breeding for personality and disposition. Sadly, smaller POMS do have health issues and a Throwback does have less.
Great insights - thank you for sharing!
I adopted two month old Pomeranian female which doesn’t look like one that I know. She was already 3 lb and after 4 month she is 7 lb. So I searched it and found that she is throwback Pomeranian. I love my puppy and she is so adorable and love to see people and dogs. Yes biggest problem is loneliness, she does mess up the house when I am away. Ripping pads, poop on carpet and so on. I am just wondering how big throwback Pomeranian grow? She is 4 1/2 month old and 7.5 lb.
Have 11 lb.Pom very energetic, high prey drive, hard to train and playful. It’s black and white, had 2 brown ones @6 lb. very docile easily trained. Does color have anything to do with breed characteristics? It is not fat according to vet.
I have a throwback pom and he is the best lil guy ever
I have a 5kg fox face Pom, shes fearless, and she’s not bothered when left alone or left in the dark.
She was the mutt of the litter and was bullied by her siblings. She grew up to be the toughest of the litter.
I have two Pomeranians that are definitely throwback Poms… my male is a Merle and he’s very cuddly. He’s also large…around 16 pounds. My female is

I just rescued a Pom that is 14 pounds. He must be a throwback Pom. He is 4 years old. We have worked on some behavior things but he still won’t let me brush him without nipping.
Hi. I adopted a pom at 4mos. from a previous owner. The previous owner was my sister’s neighbor who realize after a few months with the pup that it wasn’t going to work. So when I received the pup, I thought he would be a standard pom but grew to a weight of 15-20lbs and people was surprised when I told them he was a pom. I reviewed information on the Pomeranian and also found out that he was a spritzer descendent and that he was in the medium group. I also purchased another pom at 2 mos. from a breeder and he is a standard or dwarf group. He will be 2 yrs old this year and weighs 6-8lbs. They get along great with each other and with the cat who is the same age as my older dog. I love my boys.🦮🐈🦮❤️. The video was very informative and I feel that you can’t have too much information when dealing with pets.
Great video!
Thanks!
I had one of these. I was told that he was a “biscuit” colored Eskie. We even named him Biscuit. Obviously I was misinformed because he was identical to your dog in looks and personality. However with Biscuit life was all about him as he was super smart, dexterous and fearless and yeah, couldn’t ever be left alone. He cried in the back seat of the car. He climbed a bookcase to get a bottle of Advil because it rattled. Found him with just in time🤦🏻♀️

I just adopted a 1 yr old pomeranian because his previous fur parents doesnt have enough time anymore to take care of him anymore , and one of the things ive noticed when ive adopted this pomeranian was he is abit bigger than other pomeranian which is just fine with me but i didnt know throwback pomeranian exist also another thing that i noticed was the extreme separation anxiety of this dog its crazy ive never had a dog which just wanna stick with me and wanted to be touch every second of the day ,luckily im just a 16 year old guy that is always at home so i never really leave him alone and base on your video they seems to have longer lifespan than smaller pomeranian , i really hope i could grow with this pomeranian until my 20s or 30s

A very good video, thank you, excellent!!!
Cool. Was always wondering what kind of dog my rescue is. Looks like he's a throwback mixed with kintamani (Bali mountain dog). Most intelligent and caring little guy. Makes sense now why he cries outside waiting for me loyally everytime I go play golf (although Mondays he's allowed on the course and he loves it). Thanks for the video
Mine is bonded to me closely but he’s still really good with my daughters and grandkids
I just adopted a 2 year old "throwback" Pom from a shelter. He's weighing in at 13 lbs. I receive him in 3 days after he get neutered. I'm excited but yet anxious/nervous to see how well he gets along with my 2 cats, age 13 and 7
My pom is 13 pounds. In between a standard pom and a throwback.
I have a 4 year old Throwback Pom called Teddy. He is fine on his own during the day although I don't leave him for more than 5 hours (due to work) without getting home to see to him.
Please post about him more with clips of HIM. Please. The last short image of him is sadly covered up by the ad for the next video. 😫
Here's another video he was in! You can see more of him in this video. th-cam.com/video/AZaVWKz0PmI/w-d-xo.html
I had one, and he was absolutely gorgeous, so much so that I could only walk him for 2 mins in town before someone wanted to pet him again! Lol. I had to often say "no, I am sorry you can't pet him". But he behaved more like a bigger dog.
I have two rescue poms from very different situations
I also have a throw back Pomeranian. He weights 20 pounds an he loves to eat.

Hi there. My Pommie is a rescue.... Well I took him from a lady who was very abusive to Neka. Went to court, an luckily I recorded every time she hit him.... As for breeder's of Pommies, I have no clue really. But if I do hear of something, I will surely message you an info
I have one, Benny. He's the smartest dog We've ever had. He lives to play fetch. Anytime anywhere.

I'm retired and have a 4 yr throwback pom through a rehome. But sometimes I have to be gone for 4 hrs and he goes in his kennel and it's no problem. he has a sweet spunky personality. the problem is that he was never trained. so sit, come, wait, stay, i go through the door first are being learned :-)
My first pom passed last June from cancer she was almost 13. She was a throwback,and weighed 15 pounds. My puppy is 11 months old and is a throwback too.My breeder said he will weigh 9lbs full grown like his parents.He weighs 16 pounds now and he is not overweight. I got lucky again because I like them bigger and sturdier.
My throwback Pom is 2 year old Millie....she's the most affectionate sweet little girl I've ever met!! She looks exactly like Jimmy colour and everything! We are home with her always so she's fine. Millie would play fetch all day if you let her lol
He looks just like my WileE! He’s a Pom/Chi/Papillon mix. So much personality and a wee bit too codependent but he’s still young. 💕🐶
I grew up with a throwback pomeranian named Schatzi who passed away in 2019 at age 12. He'd never leave my side and we were extremely close. His loss still hurts often. Wanting to get another throwback at some point but don't know how to find them as, from what I understand, their genetics are a complete flook and there's no way to tell a throwback from the rest of a pom's litter. They also don't last long at shelters because everyone wants a pom.
When we rescued Yankee I thought he was a mixed breed Pom. He was 12 pounds at 8 months! I started looking online & found pictures of Throwback Poms that looked exactly like him. Yankee's a wonderful companion, very playful & affectionate. Luckily no separation issues! He's 4 years old now & weighs 21 pounds.
I have a TB Pom. He weighs 20 lbs. I could not love ❤️ him more.
They're so special!

@@dianeingalls5025 My dog was given to me by a third party rescuer. I was told he came from Virginia. I do not know where to find another. Wish I could help.
@@goldiegolden2254 Understood...it really helps to know people are seeing my request, gotta put my good Pom-Love Karma out there.
Throw backs, it's just a bigger size. I adopted a Pomeranian He's on the bigger size about 10lbs.
I have been searching for a throw back Pom for a year now. I can't seem to find a breeder in Ontario, Canada.
I'll keep searching around.
Try Facebook Groups! There are a few that exist for Throwback Poms
Hi there, I am Diane from Montana.. I see you are also looking for a TB. I had to put my Throwback down last June and my life is not the same without her. I am searching for a new Co-Pilot, let me know if you find a source, Willing to travel of course. Thanks!
@@dianeingalls5025 ok I'll try searching the Canada breeders again. Maybe Kijiji too!

@@HudsonPomeranian Oh, forgot about Kijiji. Do keep an ear to the ground, I am determined:)
@@dianeingalls5025 ok
Yes I have a throwback pom and this video has helped explain things so much! She is 13 lbs and everyone I meet say oh that's a Spitz isn't it thanks so much
I have a throwback pom blue merle pup... I was wondering what do you feed him? thanks
I've had 4 poms so far, and two of them are in between the "standard" and "throwback" (11-12 lbs). Both of them are girls! The standard poms I've had are boys.

Thank you for this video ❤it’s exactly MY DOG 🐕 and I love him so much ❤
I have a throwback Pomeranian, her name is little girl. She's black in color. Is there anything else you can tell me about this bread of dog? Like type of food or anything else? Please let me know if you can help me with anything else. Thank you
We have exactly what you describe he was supposed to be aTeacup but to be honest I am glad he grew bigger as I was always scared of hurting him growing up with German Shepherds , he is now 12 years old and a great companion to me and goes almost everywhere I go , he is very well behaved and playful and great with other dogs but does not like it when other people touch him ,be they strangers or people we have know for along time , if nobody bothers him there is not a problem , anyone can give him a biscuit or play ball but if they go for a stroke thats curtains , sometimes he surprises me by not having a go but that is the exception to the rule , he is by know means a lap dog but I can handle him anyway I want and he will sleep with me if he wants , he is also good with the vet . He has been with us from 12 weeks old and has never been mistreated so dont know why he does not like people ,but as I say I can take him anywhere with lots off people or even sit around a campfire no trouble ,but if someone tried a stroke god knows , trouble is I don't know who he will not take to , I put it down to little Man Syndrome as apart from that he has been the perfect dog .
Mine is 30lbs throwback pomoranian.
I am thinking my pom. It a throwback pom. She's 11bls has all the features of the throwback.
My Pomeranian is larger. Almost the size of a fox. He's precious. And yes, I can't ever leave him alone. But I've adjusted. And I consider him my greatest joy. He always makes me smile.❤
Our dog Kitty is also a throwback!
They're such great little pets!
to be COMPLETELY honest i did do and will really really LOVE pomeranians
thank u for this video! i have had to tell ppl that my pomeranian is really a true size pom snd the toy pom is a man made variation. i had never heard of throwback poms until this video! I have had Elsa Mae for 3 years and she is 10yrs old this fall with the nature of a whole puppy. She loves her man man Bubby thr 4.5lb chihuahua that is my service dog. Elsa is the blessing iw as not expecting!!
I loved your movie I too have a throwback Pom I was very confused bc she is so much bigger than all the standard poms I love her dearly though!!!!
I have a throwback Pom named Robbie and he looks like a fox.
My Pom looks so much like a fox that our neighborhood foxes often try to approach him!
Hi, do you have any recommendations for how to get a throwback? I watch Petfinder constantly because I want a rescue, but most of the Poms I see on there are the tiny guys.
Foxie Dog is 20.3 pounds, people think she weights too much, I say she just has A lot of hair.
Foxie was born June 8,2012. She just had her big 10 year Burfday Pawty, picture book cake and lots of kisses
Yup, when I was single, I took my Pom absolutely everywhere & never left him alone. Lucky for us, both my husband & myself work mostly from home so he’s never alone. He’s old now & we never leave him alone… one of us is always with him.
Agree too… Don’t buy a Pom if you have small kids… their bones are so tiny & fragile. Adoot: LA has SO many Poms & Pom mixes available for adoption.
Hey There, do you suggest in the near future okay maybe end of the year I was hoping to adopt a throw back. Would you suggest a female or another male for me. I don't do face book. I love my Hudson but feel maybe a buddy would be good for him. What are your suggestions for me? Or he's fine alone.?
Also he was a retired show dog. I taught him to stand on two feet and turn around, but challenging to training him to sit.
When you're a show dog you don't sit, my breeder told me.
I actually have a throwback Pom who looks exactly like your jimmy. He’s teething really bad and bites everything and everyone. Any recommendations?
Great question. I can't give any professional advice, but maybe try using toys that are a bit of a time distraction, like the Kong rubber balls that you can put peanut butter in. Maybe that will help them to stay both occupied and sink their teeth into something other than skin, lol.
