Best Answer

The Pomeranian is descended from a large German spitz dogs of the 16th century, like the related Keeshond, Samoyed, and Norwegian Elkhound. The original Pomeranians were much larger, weighing up to 30 pounds and worked as sheep herders.

By 1888 Queen Victoria began breeding and showing Pomeranians. It was she who started breeding them down in size, making the breed very popular in England.

Today's Pomeranian breed weighs 3 to 7 pounds, with the ideal weight for the show specimen being 4 to 6 pounds.
