All varieties of Pomeranians have dark almond shaped eyes. These dogs always have intelligent facial expressions.

Pomeranian puppies are known as barkers. They are loud and can be quite noisy. Some owners place a muzzle over their mouths to keep them from barking continuously. However, once they get past the barking and yapping, they can be cute and loveable dogs that really do make great house pets.
These dogs are highly intelligent and extremely loyal to their owners. They can at times be extremely determined, and therefore, need firm hands from their owners. These dogs can be trained correctly, but once again they need a firm hand and should undergo professional obedience training.
They get along well with other dogs if they are introduced to them slowly and properly. If put in situations where they are suddenly in contact with new and strange dogs, they might behave poorly and have to be separated. These dogs are great at learning tricks when trained with a firm hand. It is important that the training should also focus on controlling their barking. For example, they should be trained to bark only a few times when the doorbell rings. If not, they will bark continuously.
