Buy Pomeranian: Prices, breeders & costs at a glance
Buying a Pomeranian is a decision that needs to be carefully considered. The Miniature Spitz is one of the most popular small dogs in Germany – but the market is confusing, prices vary greatly, and unfortunately there are also black sheep. If you want a healthy puppy from a reputable breeder, you need to know what is important.
How much does a Pomeranian cost?
The Pomeranian price from reputable breeders in Germany is between 1,500 and 3,500 euros. Top puppies from breeding lines with show successes can also cost 4,000 euros or more. If you are offered significantly less than 1,000 euros, you should be suspicious – this often indicates puppy mills or unvaccinated, unwormed animals.
The cost of a Pomeranian at a glance:
- Purchase price puppy: 1,500-3,500 euros (reputable breeding)
- Initial equipment: 200-400 euros – everything about basic equipment for puppies
- Vet first year: 300-600 Euro (vaccinations, chip, castration optional)
- Monthly costs: 80-150 euros (food, care, insurance)
Find reputable breeders
In Germany, the Verband für das Deutsche Hundewesen (VDH ) is the most important contact point for reputable breeders. The responsible breed club is the Club für Spitze e.V. – there is a verified list of breeders. More information on the costs, keeping and character of the Pomeranian can be found in the main Pomeranian article with all the details.
What a reputable breeder offers:
- Puppy passport with vaccination book (distemper, parvo, leptospirosis at least)
- EU pet passport with microchip
- Deworming certificates (at least twice before delivery)
- Minimum age 8 weeks at delivery (better 10-12 weeks)
- Insight into parent animals possible
- Purchase contract with take-back guarantee
Pomeranian puppy or adult dog?
If you want to buy a Pomeranian puppy, you have the advantage of training the dog right from the start. Puppies need a lot of time, patience and consistent training in the first few weeks. If you have little experience with dogs, you can alternatively buy an adult Pomeranian from an animal welfare organization – often with a familiar character and basic training.
Pomeranian male or female?
There are hardly any differences in character between males and females in the Pomeranian – both are considered playful, affectionate and lively. Males can be somewhat more dominant, bitches are in heat twice a year, which many owners find time-consuming. Neutering is possible in both cases and makes keeping them much easier.
What to look out for when buying?
When you first meet the puppy and the breeder, you should take a close look – not only at the dog, but also at the conditions in which it is kept. The following signs reveal a healthy puppy:
- Clear, alert eyes – no discharge
- Clean, fluffy coat without bald patches
- Active, curious behavior (no anxious trembling)
- Normal body weight – not too thin, no bloated belly
- Clean ears without odor
Hands off if: the breeder cannot show any parent animals, the puppy is less than 8 weeks old, no written contract is offered or the handover is to take place in a parking lot. More about the first week with the puppy – what to do when the dog moves in.
