Hi, my pomeranian is very flat-haired. She has no 'mane', and her head looks very small. She's almost a year old...will she ever be really fluffy?
I love her to pieces as she is, but I'd really like to bring her to shows in the future.

Hi and welcome to the DogHobbyist. I have Shiba Inu's so we are sort of related breed wise. I wasn't sure about the breed standard of the Pom so checked out the AKC. The last line under Coat says... Major Faults: Soft, flat or open coat.

So I'm not sure without being able to see your girl if that applies to her or not. It's sort of like a Cream Shiba being considered a major fault when in fact they might be the best dog in the litter. At any rate your little girl is a real cutie and when you can you'll have to put up some other pictures. What is her name btw?

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.

Ah ok, thanks for the info
She's called Tinkerbell....I didn't know Paris Hiltons dog was called that until weeks after I named her, but oh well.

LOL! Well in spite of Paris Hilton... Tinkerbell is a cute name for a little Pom!
