Pomeranian: official colors

One of the most striking features of the German Spitz breed is its appearance. The voluminous and fluffy hair forms a mane that makes the little dog resemble even a small lion. Some colors of the Pomeranian Lulu are easier to find, while others are quite rare. See below what are the possible color patterns of the small dog breed:

White Pomeranian: This is one of the most common and easy to find colors. The white Pomeranian has this pattern throughout the coat, without any spots or other shades.

Black Pomeranian: The black Spitz is one of the most charming there is! The black Pomeranian, like the white, should have only this color throughout the coat, both in the undercoat and in the outer layer.

Brown or chocolate Pomeranian: the coat tone of a brown or chocolate Pomeranian can vary from lighter to darker brown. On the muzzle and paws, the shade is often different from the rest of the body, becoming lighter or darker. Usually, the brown Pomeranian has green eyes.

Blue or gray Pomeranian: This German Spitz is known for having a silvery tint to its fur. The blue Pomeranian has the base of the coat formed by a shade of grey that darkens at the tips until it reaches black. The eye area, for example, is well marked with black, which highlights the look. The mane of the blue Pomeranian is getting lighter.

Caramel or orange Pomeranian: probably the most common color of the Spitz. The caramel or orange Pomeranian Lulu has orange as a base, a color that predominates throughout the coat. On the belly, mane, muzzle and tail, the color of the caramel or orange Pomeranian Lulu lightens.

Beige or cream Pomeranian: This is the pattern that lies between the white Pomeranian and the orange Pomeranian. As it is a middle ground color, it can pull more towards light brown or orange. The beige or cream Pomeranian is very easy to find.

Black and white Pomeranian: The black-and-white Spitz has black on the head and ear areas and down the back, while the white is on the muzzle and other parts of the body. The black-and-white Pomeranian is part of a group of color patterns called Particolor.

Pomeranian lulu particolor: as we explained, the black and white Pomeranian is a type of particolor Spitz. The particolor is the pattern in which we have white as the protagonist with other colors distributed in certain parts of the coat. The black and white Pomeranian is the most common, but other examples of particolor are white and orange Pomeranian and brown and white Pomeranian.

Black and brown Pomeranian: is a German Spitz that has a mostly black body color with brown details on the muzzle and paws. The brown and black Pomeranian Lulu pattern can also be called "tan".

Orange Pomeranian Lulu sable: The root of a caramel or sable orange Pomeranian's coat is very orange and stays that way all over the body until it reaches the tips, which are almost black. The muzzle even seems to have a black cape.

Pomeranian Lulu Merle: This is a rare pattern that brings four colors together. The Pomeranian Lulu merle is a mix of white, black, grey and beige. The coat has areas of solid, mixed coloration, with patches across the body that appear to have a "marbled" look. The merle dog is not just a Spitz pattern: breeds like the Border Collie, Great Dane and German Shepherd can also have this mix of colors.

Color change: Pomeranian Lulu can change color in adulthood

The Pomeranian can change colors throughout adulthood! The pet is born with a certain shade and grows up with it. However, with the changes of fur, the color changes. Thus, it is not so uncommon to see that a brown Pomeranian Lulu has become, over time, a beige Pomeranian Lulu! Without a doubt, the German Spitz is always a surprise box.
