I agree with so much that's being said above. The best recommendation is to go through a Pomeranian rescue and look for an adult that matches with what your situation is. An adult is going to have a pretty set temperament that will be able to be fit with your needs as well as not need the time dedication that a puppy will. The problem with a puppy is that you never know who they'll grow up into. Every dog is different! When we lived in an apartment my pom couldn't get enough exercise with just a daily walk. He was still bouncing off the walls! Now that he has a huge yard to roam around in he's much happier and calmer. He was also very concerned with every little noise that you hear in an apartment because he was naturally trying to guard us from the people outside, the people upstairs, the people next door, the people in the hallway.... However, obviously many people live happily with poms in apartments, mine just wasn't meant to live in one! In short, choosing an adult dog with a personality you know and having people who are experienced in placing dogs (the rescue)help you will ensure that you and your pom are a perfect fit from the beginning!

you have summed up my apartment pom perfectly! although i don't mind having a "bodyguard" since it's just me and my sister here.

thanks for your input :)
yes, i have always wanted to rescue an adult dog to make sure our temperaments match! i'm leaning away from adopting for a while now after getting so much feedback/advice, etc. thanks again!
