Why so much? I saw poms for sale in other places are cheaper.
Well, we do not force anyone to buy their dogs from us. We personally cannot afford to place them for so little as we have more invested into them by the time they leave. In order to keep a breeding program, we have to care for several dogs. We feed premium quality dog food, microchip, register, vaccinate all of our dogs. We also must have dentals done and provide adequate vet care. Because we breed for show quality and to a higher standard, we also often send our females out of breeding, pay high stud fees, shipping expenses and often times, expensive after hours c-sections. Breeding to the standard also means that we do not find the largest female that we can find so that we can produce large litters. We often have litters of only 1 baby born by csections. In order to even out some of these expenses, we simply cannot place our pets for that kind of price. Breeding poms can be very heartbreaking and with so many complications, pom breeders experience a lot of losses.
I can't afford to pay more, but i would make a super good home.
While owning a pom does not require being rich, we feel that it does require some stability. Poms are very small dogs and even in the best hands, can get injured. We feel that a pom owner should have enough financial stability to cover the cost of a broken leg, which can cost quite some amount. It is not the ability to love and care for the dogs on a day to day basis that we doubt, but we put so much into our dogs that we want the best care for them.

I just got myself a White Pom 2 months old. And he's tearing alot causing brown stains under his eye. I have been wiping the stain with a dry clothes and I realized that 1 part of the damp area is even losing hair. Any thing I can get to treat it? Or bringing to groomers/vet would be good? Is the hair loss normal?
