The concern that I am asked most often is what breed of dog I am.  most people are surprised to discover that I am a Pomeranian.  Poms are supposed to have huge poofy coats, however you have noticed that I have my coat trimmed quite short.  right here is a photo of me as a puppy when I was about 4 months old:

I had a nice coat that grew huge as well as poofy. since my pawrents online in the High Desert region of southern California, my mom would take me to the groomer as well as request a “Puppy Cut” at the beginning of the summertime just before it would get truly hot.  right here is a photo of me with my Puppy Cut:

My coat always grew back nice as well as poofy over the winters up until I was about five years old, when it began to get thin, very first on my sides as well as then on the backs of my legs, as well as then my neck.  We discovered about Alopecia X, the mysterious thing that makes a number of different dog breeds, including Pomeranians,  lose their coats.  It is NOT a reason to put a dog down, however a dog with Alopecia X should not be bred.  The issue is, you don’t understand if a dog has Alopecia X up until he is a number of years old.  There is research study being done now to try to determine a DNA marker for it, however none has been discovered yet.  Jiggy on the genuine Housewives of Beverly Hills has lost his coat too.  mom has always liked my short coat anyway as well as believes I am much cuter this way, so now she gets me quite gowns as well as attire to wear.   right here is a photo of me in one of my prettiest pawty dresses:

A great deal of people have suggested many things to assist grow my coat back, as well as mom has honestly tried them: Melatonin, thyroid supplements, special shampoos as well as exfoliants,  raw food diet, no poultry products diet, however so far none of that stuff has helped me.  in spite of all of that, most would agree that I look fine just the method I am.
