The standards of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akc.org\/dog-breeds\/pomeranian\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AKC<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fci.be\/Nomenclature\/Standards\/097g05-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">FCI<\/a> describe it as a unique, toy-sized dog with a fox-like facial expression. However, Pomeranian breeders and admirers often distinguish 3 different varieties, based on particular features of the face.<\/p>\n<p>These three types of Pomeranians are popularly known as &#8220;<strong>fox-faced Pomeranian<\/strong>&#8220;, &#8220;<strong>bear-faced Pomeranian<\/strong>&#8221; and &#8220;<strong>doll-faced Pomeranian<\/strong>&#8220;. The main difference between them is facial expression, with snout length being the most obvious variation. It should be noted that these denominations lack official recognition.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1160 size-full\" title=\"3 Types of Pomeranian\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetdoggo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-Types-of-Pomeranians.jpg\" alt=\"3 Types of Pomeranians\" width=\"710\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweetdoggo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-Types-of-Pomeranians.jpg 710w, https:\/\/sweetdoggo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3-Types-of-Pomeranians-300x106.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Fox-faced_Pomeranian_or_Pomeranian_Lulu\"><\/span>1. Fox-faced Pomeranian or Pomeranian Lulu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Fox-faced Pomeranian Lulu is the version that corresponds to the breed standard. It is the most common and appreciated among owners\/admirers. As its name suggests, this dog has an elongated snout, hence the fox-like facial expression.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A Lulu Pomeranian&#8217;s muzzle makes up about 1\/3 of the length of its skull. Although it is considered a short muzzle compared to that of other dog breeds, it is the longest among all Pomeranian types.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Other features that contribute to this resemblance are the slightly rounded and fluffy cheeks, the narrow chin, as well as the pretty, flattened, dark nose. According to experts, the fox-faced Pomeranian&#8217;s sharp expression denotes its alert and intelligent nature.<\/p>\n<p>The official standard indicates that this toy-sized dog should measure between approximately 15 and 17 cm and weigh between 1.4 and 3.2 kg (3 to 7 pounds).<\/p>\n<p>The body is covered by a double-layered coat: short and dense on the inside, but long, abundant and coarse on the outside. Typically, the coat forms a kind of fluffy collar around the neck and head, extending over the shoulders and chest.<\/p>\n<p>The fur of the little fox-faced Pomeranian is abundant throughout its body, except for its legs. It is said that it can be practically any color.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Bear-faced_Pomeranian_or_Boo_Pomeranian\"><\/span>2. Bear-faced Pomeranian or Boo Pomeranian<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What is it that distinguishes this variety of Pomeranian developed in the United States? Fortunately, there are several details that help differentiate a &#8220;bear face&#8221; from a standard &#8220;fox face. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>First of all, there is a clear difference in the shape of his face. The so-called Pomeranian Boo has an irresistible teddy bear appearance. His muzzle is significantly shorter and his cheeks more rounded. These traits give it that smooth-faced dog look.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Bear-Headed Pomeranian has a flattened, rounded face, without a definite rise to the chin. Its short snout is only about \u00bc of the total length of the skull. Many describe him as a Pomeranian with the eternal appearance of a puppy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the eyes appear to be larger and much closer to the snout, while the ears are noticeably smaller and rounder than the ears of the Pomeranian Lulu. Their fur is not only shorter and fluffier but also thicker.<\/p>\n<p>With a compact body and tiny stature, the Boo is usually called a toy or mini Pomeranian, as it is the variety with the smallest weight and size. But this denomination is not widely accepted among breeders, much less among kennel clubs. The Pomeranian breed itself is already considered a toy breed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Doll-faced_Pomeranian\"><\/span>3. Doll-faced Pomeranian<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Of the 3 types, the doll face is usually the most difficult to distinguish. Its facial expression is similar to that of the Bear-Faced Pomeranian, also with a cropped snout; however, it exhibits a more delicate appearance. His face doesn&#8217;t look as stocky and wide.<\/p>\n<p>The snout remains short, and rounded, but appears flattered on top, and is not raised. That makes the eyes appear to be a bit farther apart compared to the Boo Pomeranian variety.<\/p>\n<p>A doll-faced Pomeranian will have longer, smoother, and more voluminous fur, as well as a slightly larger size.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember<\/strong>. Officially, there are no distinguishable types within the breed. There is only one Pomeranian. The term &#8220;fox-faced Pomeranian&#8221; is not even recognized. This, like &#8220;bear face&#8221; and &#8220;doll face&#8221;, is an unofficial name given based on some features of the face.<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/sweetdoggo.com\/pomeranian-colors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What are the Colors of the Pomeranian?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"3 TYPE OF FACE OF POMERANIAN PLUS INFORMATION OF\ud83d\udc3e POMERANIAN \ud83d\udc3e\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/brC7zz3i4TY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Types_of_Mixed_Pomeranians\"><\/span>13+ Types of Mixed Pomeranians<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many breeders have dedicated themselves to crossing the Pomeranian with other breeds, obtaining hybrid dogs with very interesting personalities and physical characteristics.
