According to the American Kennel Club, the Pomeranian is a compact, short backed, active toy breed dog of Nordic descent. The double coat consists of a short dense undercoat with a perfuse harsh-textured longer outer coat. The heavily plumed tail is one of the characteristics of this breed. It is set high and lies flat on the back. He is alert in character, exhibits intelligence in expression, is buoyant in deportment and is inquisitive by nature. The Pomeranian is cocky, commanding, and animated as he gaits. He is sound in composition and action (Tab 6).
