We are often asked why someone’s pom doesn’t look a certain way, why they are so big? Not fluffy? Why they are so expensive from breeders? how come their coat is flat and silky? Why their snout is so long? and many others…
You don’t have to pay $3,000 for a pet pom, but you should always find a reputable breeder. “Backyard breeders” tend to care more about the dollars involved and not the health of the breed in general. Some are well meaning in wanting to breed their beloved pet, but we discourage this as there are so many Poms in rescues and shelters all over the country. Reputable breeders can not only show you the parents, but also tend to know the lineage back several generations of each litter they breed.
