I bought what i believed to be a pedigree pomeranian puppy. He ia now 4 months old and although his face is similar to that of a pom his coat is short and wirey. He digs constantly in the garden which is a little unusual for the breed and my vet said on the last visit that he thinks he may be a cross. Is there any way i can determine for sue if he is in fact a true pomeranian or crossed with what i think is some terrier type dog. I can be emailed at ewilson55@hotmail.co.uk I would appreciate any help
Thank you and take care

I am sorry I don't mean to sound flippant but I cannot control myself guest, please do not take this personally but could this be a............
Pom de terre - ier?
ROFLMAO
Seriously I suppose the only way of checking is if the parents have been DNA profiled and you have the pedigree etc?
Not sure, I expect there are others on the board who are more au fait with this sort of thing than I......
E-mail me on either Diane.Philipson@smuht.nwest.nhs.uk or on spanishwaterdogs@supanet.com
If you do the first one that's where I am ow and I can e-mail you back with a reply. Oh and of course I need an e-mail of a photo :d
did you see the mum/dad?
if not a cross your pom might be going threw what we call their uglies.
at 8 weeks all pom puppies look a like and are the cutest fluffiest little things and really look adorable but in a few months they go leggy (we got one that age right now and she looks like shes wearing high heel shoes!) and there faces look long, the coat looks short and they really do look ugly but then usually what happens is they change back to the cute fluffy stage and their faces start to fill out as they get older and the proper coat comes in and they lose the leggy look then finally look like a proper pom.
Also be interested on how much you paid for your pup?
Pom's do go through a "monkey" stage where the fur goes from the face and looks like a monkey shape.

....swd...and whether he is kc registered!!!! Friends of mine bought a lhasa....papers & everything & it grew into a tibetan spaniel!!!

Well on those grounds Sam did your friends not get in touch with the KC with photo's, the paperwork etc. and ask them to intervene? Also trading standards would be very interested in that and the Breed Clubs of the breeds concerned, especially if the person is a member.
