Pomeranians

Hi all Im new here. I have a black and white parti female (fox face) she weighs about 13 pounds and is 2 years old. the father is a orange sable and he weighs 9 pounds and is more of a teddy bear face and is three years old. My question is has anyone on here ever heard of a pom having a litter of 7 puppies? I am supplementing the mom with milk replacer and feeding her puppy food and have been weighing the pups and all looks good. They were born last sunday (fathers day) and all the puppies look great so far. thier tummies are fat so I know they are getting milk and mom has nine teats so thier is plenty to go around. I guess Im just shocked by this litter size. I thought I was fairly well educated about pomeranians. I spent a year doing research before even deciding to breed my dogs, but no where did I read they could have litters this large. Anyways thanks for your time to respomd to me. I look forward to hearing from you all.

You did a year of research yet didnt figure out that both your dogs are way over standard?

These are pet pomeranians and not show dogs. In my experience the smaller dogs (teacup) as some breeders would call them are prone to lots of health problems. I didnt want to produce puppies that were a "fashionable size" but rather I choose these two dogs beacause of thier wonderful dispositions and personalities. I think it is a shame that size or breed standard is the basis of choosing a pet. I have never had better dogs and I wouldnt trade them for the world because of thier size. If u are just going to be mean then please dont answer my question.

She had 7 because she is a big pom and had the space for 7. A 5lb pom would never have that many but your gal is very large in comparison and therefore capable of large litters outside the norm. Good luck with the babies. I hope they find wonderful pet homes. :)
