Anyone have experience with them? Obviously I won't be getting another dog for a long time, and really it will most likely be a Border Collie, but I rarely find breeds that I actually like and this is one I am interested in. My friend has this dog who was sold as a Pom, but really looks more like this:
She is bigger than a normal Pom (like maybe 15-16 lbs), and has a coat that is longer. I guess I kind of "prefer" that style of Pom, but being involved with showing I usually see TINY show type Poms that are very different, so I don't know how reputable the breeders are of that "bigger" style Pom. Now I learn that the German Spitz (Klein and Mittel sizes) are basically just a larger pom with more of a Samoyed style coat which is what I like about my friend's dog Hayley.
I just want to know more about this breed, especially temperament wise. I know I love the looks and the size, and I love Hayley's temperament but I don't know how "typical" it is.
