I also think pomeranians are really cute when kept short haired like the one above. Or, are there short-haired pomeranians?

Wow, this thread really exploded while I was away! That never happens to my threads! *glows* Thanks for all the advice!
To clarify a bit - what I would ideally like to do is get a slightly older puppy from the Humane Society. That way, they're not a few weeks old and I get to rescue a puppy - also, that seems to be the cheapest way to go, unless I find a good "free to good home" ad in the classifieds.

Posted: 7/24/05 at 3:45pmIn a shelter, especially with puppies, you're probably going to end up finding mostly mixed-breeds. In many shelter cases, though, the lineages of the litters are educated guesses. It's often unknown (and hard to figure out) what the parents are when puppies come in to a shelter, or sometimes they'll know the breed of one parent, etc. So, it's kind of a crapshoot as to how big the dog will grow up to be, which I'd assume is a consideration in a small apartment. With such unclear backgrounds, it's also hard to guess what the dog's disposition is likely to be, too. Something to keep in mind, I guess. While I do very much advocate adopting from a shelter, you may be better off getting a dog that's at least a year old if you're going to take that route.

Hmmm - good call. My mom is allergic to every animal on God's green earth, so I never had a pet growing up, save a caged rabbit which we kept for maybe a year. I'm painfully pet-dumb...
