The dog is also a Pomeranian. If Poms were 80# with the same personality, no one could ever have one!

They are known to be barky, territorial, stubborn, difficult to train and then have been made worse by making them smaller, breeding even less for temperament, not understanding that they are a northern breed, and being a great dog for puppy mills and puppy producers to pump out due to their size, often enlarging their negative traits and doing nothing in the first weeks to shape better behaviors.

Frankly, I think those two sites are awfully kind in regards to temperament-but they are talking about ideal temperament.

So in general, the people who should have them-people who will do NILIF, exercise them, give them jobs-don't because it's a toy dog now.
Bella was bitten by one on a home check. Bella was trying to hide from the Pom and jumped up behind me on the couch-so the Pom went after her. I shielded Bella but didn't put my hand down because I knew it would be like a Piranha situation!
I do like them-a lot. I like any dog that is going to abuse me, I guess, by flipping me the paw!
Maybe you could say that you read about a Pom who attacked a GSD on a home check and had that GSD not been an incredibly wonderful, sweet, submissive to other dogs, and small dogs in particular (not to mention GORGEOUS lol), that Pom would have been on its way down the path to the Rainbow Bridge. But because it's people didn't have it under control, it was at risk every day-that getting a dog to do what you say when you say it is not about control so much as it is about safety for that dog. And you know she'd never want her dog to be unsafe...
