The Pomeranian breed standard is 3 - 7 pounds and the Pomeranian breed are in the toy breed of dog category. There is NO such thing as a Micro, Tea Cup or a Pocket pomeranian these are words back yard breeders use to justify bigger prices and to dupe uninformed buyers into spending more money or words used by scammers, they are names to describe a genetic anomaly that has resulted in a much smaller than breed standard. Reputable breeders do not and will not refer to their puppies as Tea Cup, Micro, or Pocket size. Puppies are NOT a fashion accessory. The smaller than Normal size babies are usually just the below average sized which some people refer to as a runt but I do not particularly care for that term and a lot of the time are more fine bone, have open skulls (Soft spot or Open Fonts) are more likely to have Hypoglycemia issues (Low Sugar) that can lead to death, Liver shunt, Hydrocephalus (water on the brain), Heart problems, undescended testicles, collapsing trachea, luxating patellas, Seizures, digestive problems and the list goes on and on of the issues they can have. They are also more likely to injure themselves in simple activities like playing, running, or jumping from a couch,more often than not these so called Micros or Tea Cups do not make it to see their first birthday in most cases.
