Description:Foxy Lady was adopted from us back in 2009 as a young cute little Chihuahua/Pom Mix. She has happy lived in her home for several years but has started to pick on the older sickly dog in the home. She is a sweet Pom-Chi who thinks she owns everything and needs a loving, confident, pack leader in her new home. This what her foster has to say about her:
Foster Update: I have been fostering Foxy for several months. She would make an EXCELLENT companion for a person or couple as she finds the person she trusts and will give 100% of her love to them. She is now living with 3 large breed dogs and 3 cats. She doesn't even blink when it comes to the cats... basically ignores them. Foxy is doing well with my dogs. She doesn't want to play with them but cohabitates with them just fine. In her previous home she lived with several other small breed dogs but was returned for bullying them. In my home she can not possibly successfully bully a 125lb great dane or an 80 lbs German Shepherd, so it works out well. When I first met Foxy she would only approach one female person and was scared of others. She has now be resocialized and loves to interact with people and most situations. She is protective when others enter my home but calms down after a few moments. She seems to prefer females but has learned to equally trust males as well. Her ideal home would be a with a couple or single person, preferably a single dog home. She could definitely live in a home with cats. She is 100% housebroken, does not chew, and requires a moderate amount of exercise. She loves to sleep in bed and snuggle at night on the sofa. She also loves to go on walks and car rides. She is crated very easily but does not require it.
Developed in the Prussian region of Pomerania, the Pomeranian was originally descended from the ancient Spitz breeds of the far north which were brought to Europe and employed to herd sheep. The Pom ancestors weighed up to 30 pounds. Marie Antoinette, Emile Zola and Mozart all owned Pomeranians. In the late 1800's Queen Victoria became a Pomeranian fancier, and established her own kennel for their breeding. She showed her dogs, with some success, making the breed very popular in England. Because Queen Victoria preferred smaller dogs, many breeders began selecting for smaller size. Now the Pomeranian has been bred down from his original size to customary 4-5 pounds. The Pomeranian's intelligence and talent for showmanship have also made him a superior circus performer. Today's Pomeranian is primarily a loving companion and beautiful show dog. Some of the Pom's talents include: watchdogging, agility and performing tricks. The Pomeranian is a lively little dog. Intelligent, eager to learn, very loyal to its handler and family. Willful, bold and sometimes temperamental. If it is properly introduced they usually get along with other dogs and household animals without any problems, but some of them seem to think they are much larger than they actually are and do not hesitate to attack much bigger dogs. It is an excellent watchdog with a resounding bark. Poms have a tendency to be reserved and bark at strangers excessively. Teach this dog early that it may bark a couple of times when the doorbell rings or when there are visitors, but then to keep quiet. Be very consistent about this. They are alert, curious and busy: one of the most independent of the Toy breeds. Poms have a delightful nature and do not cling to their handlers. Proud and happy, they are good at learning tricks, but need a firm hand. The Pomeranian must know the owner is the boss, or he will not listen. This breed may become too demanding if the owner allows it. Not recommended for very young children. Too much attention from children can make these dogs nervous and they may become snappish. However, they can get along well with older, well behaved children. It is a good companion for an elderly person. The Pom is a wonderful companion dog and show ring contender. The breed's docile temper and affectionate nature endear it to many. Its vivacity and spirit make it well-liked by persons who do not usually care for toy dogs.
