My little guy, a pomeranian, weighs 9 ounces and he is 6 weeks old today. I am wondering how much he will weigh as an adult. Thanks for any input. I am new here and want to learn every thing I can to be a good Mommy for Snuggles. I am also giving him yogurt twice a day to forgo any hypoglycemic episodes. Again any information/input regarding poms will be greatly appreciated!

According to a book I have--Both the male and the female should weigh anywhere from 3-7# and be 7-12" (shoulder height)I am curious about the hypoglycemic episodes---Are you having specific problems/worries about this happening or are you just being cautious?! And I imagine you are giving plain yogurt--not the sweet flavored 'stuff' that most people eat! Low blood sugar and high blood sugar are both caused by a faulty pancreas. I know because I have diabetes and it started out as low blood sugar. You don't want this to lead into diabetes so be careful with the carbohydrates--esp. with such a small dog--prob. can't handle too many carbs!

Decided to come back and quote some info on the pom from my book: Give you the 2 BE AWARES 1st: Barking can become a problem if not curbed from an early age. Will lose teeth early if not well cared for.----While the pom adores pampering and petting, it also loves to play and be active. In other words, it is a most accommodating creature, ready to fit in with the needs of any type of owner. TEMPERMENT: Easy to train, the happy little Pom makes a good watchdog, despite its tiny size. It will alert you to anything unusual by setting up a commotion of barking. Although excitable, it is obedient and easily calmed.

GROOMING: Frequent brushing of the very long, double coat is recommended. If you work from the head, parting the coat and brushing it forward, it will fall neatly back in place, so the task, although time-consuming, is relatively easy. The cottony undercoat is shed once or twice a year. Dry shampoo when necessary. Clean the eyes and ears daily and take the dog for regular dental checkups.

EXERCISE: There is no need to make special provisions for exercise if there is a small area for the dog to play in. Otherwise, a session of play in the park from time to time will suffice. Ideal for apartment living.

HEALTH PROBLEMS: The breed is subject to eye problems and the knees are susceptible to dislocation. Some animals lose their teeth as they get older.

I have a pom, and my breeder estimated around 6-7 lbs at full grown. Of course this will depend on the mommy and daddy.

Regarding his diet. I haven't heard anything about feeding my puppy yogurt... For Pomeranians since they are prone to teeth issues, it's recommended to feed them primarily dry food. The dry food helps keep their teeth cleaner.

Also how old is your puppy?

6-7 lbs at full grown that's right unless your pom is a mix breed...
