Frequently Asked Questions....

Can You Ship My Puppy To Me?

It may be quite likely that your new Pomeranian puppy can not be picked up in person. Air shipping has become quite common and the restrictions and requirements for that are very strict so that all parties involved can have a positive and stress-free experience.  All shipping and/or transportation arrangements are made by me, the breeder, and those services are paid before the puppy is shipped. I will only ship within the United States.   

How Do I Prepare & Welcome My New Pomeranian Puppy Into My Home?

It's a really good idea to find a good book(s) or DVD(s) to learn about the Pomeranian breed before bringing it home. This information can be priceless when it comes to providing a happy and healthy home for him/her. Find out everything you can about the right food for your Pomeranian puppy and how often they should be fed. You will need some accessories like a collar, leash, puppy toys, a good selection of grooming tools, and a crate or pen to aid in house training. These are just a few of the things to get ahead of time so that you are prepared for your puppy's arrival.

Puppies need their own space, so providing them with a comfortable bed and a quiet place to sleep is very important. They should also have their own food and water dishes along with some safe puppy toys. All puppies will chew and this is a natural phase of all puppy development. Providing them with something that satisfies that urge to chew will hopefully keep them away from your shoes!

Choose a veterinarian that you will be bringing your Pomeranian puppy to for health exams and vaccinations. This will be a place that your puppy will visit soon after its arrival, so you may want to go ahead of time to meet the veterinarian and be sure you have made the right choice for both of you.

The proper development and behavior of your new Pomeranian puppy is up to you. Training and socializing is needed to ensure that your new puppy will be a joy to be around for many years to come.

What About My New Pomeranian Puppys' Sleep Requirements?

Puppies are a lot like human babies - they play hard, and they need to sleep hard too. Though veterinarians still don't know exactly how puppy brains develop, they know that sleeping, (as well as playing), is very important to the development process. While your pup is conked out on the carpet, his brain is busy maturing and building new neural connections.

Puppies need as much sleep as they can get. As long as he's eating and drinking like he usually does, and he's active and playful when he's awake, his sleep shouldn't be a problem. Over time he'll adjust to your schedule, and he'll probably learn to sleep when you sleep at night, and nap whenever he feels like it during the day,(one of the advantages of a dog's life!). His body will do a pretty good job of getting him the sleep he needs, as long as it isn't interfered with. So if you see your Pomeranian puppy napping, don't wake him up to play. Let him sleep, unless you need to wake him to keep him on his feeding or elimination schedule.

If you're worried that your Pomeranian puppy's sleeping - or any aspect of his behavior - isn't normal, or if his behavior changes suddenly or dramatically, make an appointment with your veterinarian to have your puppy checked out.
