► A Bibliography of the Pomeranian
Description: A Bibliography of the Pomeranian.
The Pomeranian (aka, Deutsche Dwergspitz, German Dwarf Spitz, German Toy Spitz, or Dwerg Keeshond, at one time [legitimately] and sometimes still [redundantly] termed the Miniature or Toy Pomeranian) is one of the five varieties of German Spitz (aka, Deutsche Spitz), which also encompasses the Keeshond (aka, Deutsche Wolfsspitz), Deutsche Großspitz, Deutsche Mittelspitz, and Deutsche Kleinspitz. The reader interested in the Pomeranian may therefore wish to read also about these close relatives.
In the Netherlands, two sizes of Pomeranian are recognized, the larger of which is would elsewhere be termed a German Spitz.
Also ancestral to the modern Pomeranian were a number of small, rust-colored spitzes imported into England from Italy first by Queen Charlotte, and later by Queen Victoria, and bred with the English Pomeranians of the 18th and 19th centuries, indicating a possible admixture of Volpino Italiano, which comes in red as well as in white. Their Majesties considered these dogs Pomeranians, but breed labels were still very loose in those days, and it would seem a likely source of the red color so common in modern Pomeranians, as well as smaller size.
Large white Pomeranians exported from Britain to North America in the 19th century probably form some part of the ancestral stock of the American Eskimo Dog, along with German Spitzes imported directly from Germany, and the American Eskimo was in turn used in the creation of the Japanese Spitz, so the curious might enjoy reading about those breeds as well.
At least some references to a "Pomeranian dog" dating prior to the breed's being miniaturized might now more accurately be applied to the German Spitz than to the modern Pomeranian, since the original Pomeranian was, in fact, the German Spitz. Since, however, those individual German spitzes imported into Britain and dubbed Pomeranians either were ancestral to the modern Pomeranian—and with a few exceptions not to the modern German Spitz—or their lines died out, those sources appear in this list rather than the German Spitz bibliography, except where the text can reasonably be construed to apply to all German spitzes.
It is well to keep in mind when reading vintage sources that Victorian dog fanciers were "lumpers": many English writers during that period and for some time into the 20th Century seem to have pretty much considered almost every spitz they encountered a kind of Pomeranian regardless of size or origin; in the US, spitz-type dogs seem to have all been called Spitz unless, toward the very end of the 19th Century, they were small enough to have been assumed to be Pomeranians. Sources from that period should, therefore, be read with the understanding that they may not refer to the breed you (and they) think they are. An example may be the abovementioned "red Pomeranians" the British queens found in Italy.
