POMERANIAN DOGS MEETING

Three weeks ago, Colette had the opportunity to attend for the first time the meeting of Pomeranian dogs organized by the Facebook group of our city.

The event took place at a dog park on the outskirts, which is big enough (at least for the size of our Poms 😉 ), with grass and sand areas, a fountain to cool them and, above all, fenced, allowing the dogs to run with total freedom. (more…)

COLETTE’S 2nd BIRTHDAY

All the PomPomDog’s posts are written from the heart, but the post of this week is even more special: today, the 23rd September, Colette is two years old.

As you surely know, there are countless studies about the benefits that animals produce in the physical and mental health of human beings. We have no doubt in the great amount of positive emotions and feelings that we have discovered and experienced since Colette came into our lives: (more…)

COLETTE’S SUMMER HOLIDAYS

PomPomDog is back!

In this first post after the summer holidays, Colette wants to tell you “in exclusive” where she has spent her holidays. She was in Gandía (Valencia, Spain), in L’Ahuir Beach, which has a reserved area for dogs – Can Gandía

Among the canine beaches that we know (Fuengirola in Málaga, and Es Faralló and the mouth of a river in Sant Eulalia, in Ibiza) Can Gandía is, in our opinion, the best by far for: (more…)

INTERVIEW WITH THE FOUNDER OF THE “ANIMAL WELFARE CENTRE”

As a continuation of the post from some weeks ago where PomPomDog travelled to Paris and we introduced you the “Animal Welfare Centre” (post that you can read here), we have an interview with Patricia Rerolle, the Founder of the “Welfare Animal Centre” in today’s post.

With many years in dog training, in countries such as U.S.A., Canada and Belgium, Patricia Rerolle has also created the first “Puppy School” in Paris, France.

Thanks to her kindness, PomPomDog attended a behaviour animal class and even a puppy’s party, and she granted us her precious time to ask her some questions. In this interview, she tells us about the services that the “Animal Welfare Centre” offers, especially to our Pomeranians. (more…)

THE INTELLIGENCE OF POMERANIANS THROUGH THE “SCIENTIFIC” TOWEL TEST

According to a book called “The intelligence of Dogs” written by Stanley Coren, psychologist in the British University of Vancouver (Canada), there are three aspects in dogs’ intelligence:

  • Instinctive intelligence: the innate skills, as for example, for shepherding or hunting.
  • Adaptive intelligence: dog’s ability to solve problems on his own.
  • Working intelligence and obedience: dog’s ability to learn from the human beings.

Keeping in mind this last kind of intelligence, Coren classified the different dogs’ breeds. The method consisted of sending requests of evaluation to the obedience competition’s judges of the American Kennel Club and Canadian Kennel Club, asking them to classify breeds according to their performance.

From 131 evaluated dogs breeds, our dear Pomeranian took 23rd position in the excellent working breeds, that’s to say, those breeds who understand new commands with between 5 and 15 repetitions, and that obey, at least, in 85% of the cases. Is it not bad, is it? (more…)

Today we have the great pleasure of announcing the result of the Pompomdog’s first contest with two customized toy bones with the name of the winners’ pets.

So the raffle, hold for those who participated via Facebook, has been developed via sortea2.com, which will randomly choose the winner.

And the winners are: (more…)
