All Pomeranian's grow at different rates, some start out small and gain weight quickly and then level out. Other pom babies start out small and gain steadily, but slowly! Genetic's Always play a role in the expected guesstimate of an Adult weight. For this reason we do not guarantee a Pomeranian's weight.

FUNGI TYPES
The Fungi listed below are some of the types that can make your Pom very ill!
We have listed them here for you to understand that it is possible for any human being to come into contact with these Fungi, and then accidentally spread it to your Pomeranian, without ever knowing it, until your baby becomes ill.
NOTE*This is also why we do not allow anyone to handle our babies until they are vaccinated- at least their first vaccination, which is when they have a little better immune system, albeit not even close to an Adults immunity. A baby puppy's immune system takes time to develope*
