In the smaller breeds like the Pomeranian we can often encounter whelping problems that may lead to high vet costs for a caesarian section if the mother cannot whelp naturally .

There are many other problems that can occur .

Experenced breeders of Pomeranians call the Pomeranian Breed a heartbreak Breed.

If proper care is not taken you may lose the mother as well as the puppies.

Mother may not be able to feed the babies and to rear these fragile little darlings you may be required to hand feed every 2 hours day and night for a few weeks.

The babies must be kept clean and you may have to assist with emptying the bladder and bowels after each feed.

Are you prepared to put all the time, effort and tears that is often required to successfully produce a litter?

If you think that breeders make a lot of money from breeding Pomeranians, please think again,better still approach registered experienced breeders and ask if they make money from breeding Pomeranians .I can assure you that the answer will be "NO".

So unless your Pomeranian is of exceptional breed type,and of course she must be Kennel Club registered, and you are prepared to mate her to the best possible male with a view to producing superior offspring that will be an asset to the Pomeranian breed as a whole,please think long and hard before you contemplate trying to breed a litter of pet puppies.

The world is already overcrowded with unwanted dogs.

Please ask yourself the following questions-

Will somebody be able to stay at home to care for Mother and her babies?

Do I have safe,secure loving homes for these babies?

Do I have sufficient resources to pay the necessary veterinary expenses associated with producing a litter?

Male dogs should be desexed at puberty,unless they are top specimens of the breed.
