The Pomeranian (often known as a Pom) is a breed of dog of the Spitz type that is named for the Pomerania region in north-west Poland and north-east Germany in Central Europe. It has been determined by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale to be part of the German Spitz breed; and in many countries, they are known as the Zwergspitz ('Dwarf-Spitz'). Pomeranians are small dogs weighing 1.36–3.17 kilograms (3.0–7.0 lb) and standing 8–14 inches (20–36 cm) high at the withers. One of her favoured dogs was a comparatively small red sable Pomeranian which she possibly named 'Windsor's Marco' and was reported to weigh only 12 lb (5.4 kg). Although not the origin of the breed, this area is credited with the breeding which led to the original Pomeranian type of dog.
