She could just be larger than standard size, or she could be mixed. She's a real cutie!

AKC standard is about 7 lbs, but they can be a number of sizes & colors, some are not the standard (do you care ?),we made them little, they are a mix of spitz, skiberdee, & something else, they were sled dogs * herding dogs, not the poms of today, your dog is beautiful & looks a bit like a skiberdee,(spelling?), She is beautiful, I hope tou have many good yrars with her,

she is quite beautiful and has wonderful markings. Her size could be the result of a recessive gene for size. I have seen pomms many different sizes. Whatever the reason she is wonderfully unique.

There are many different sizes. Depends on the breeder and what the breeder standards are. I have owned 6 full registered poms and they have all been different sizes. They have ranged from 5 Ibs full grown up to 15Ibs. And I have seen many much larger than that. The first dog they breed down to a pomerian if I recall was 25Ibs and over time was breed to be smaller and smaller. A pomerian is a wonderful pet they are so loyal, funny, stubborn and loveable you couldn't ever ask for a better pet. I have been hooked since my very first one and can't imagine my life without one. Right now I have 2 registerd poms, 1 that supposedly has papers somewhere but I rescued from a puppy mill and I have 1 that is half corgi and have pom. And all of them I wouldn't trade for anything. I hope you enjoy your new pom.

There's only one, some breeders breed to the standards which are listed with the AKC and some breed without caring about producing what the breed should be. However, if your pup is a purebred, sometimes the lines can go back to look more like one of the breeds originally bred to produce the pomeranian. Sometimes people call them "throwbacks" I think she's beautiful no matter what she is!
