Читать книгу Pomeranian - Juliette Cunliffe - Страница 21

When one animal is introduced to another, careful supervision is always essential. Many Pomeranians are quite prepared to associate with other animals that share the same house, but a lot depends on the personality of the other animal. An older dog or cat may not take readily to a newcomer to the household, although others might accept them easily. When a Pomeranian does find another canine or feline friend, usually the relationship is lasting and sincere.

The Pomeranian can show aggression toward animals he doesn’t know and is often all too ready to chase strange cats. Rarely is a Pomeranian afraid of other dogs, however large, so you should always be on the alert so that such a tiny dog comes to no harm when displaying his boldness!

Poms are small and delicate and should only be exposed to children who are properly instructed in how to handle them.
