Welcome to Almic Home Kennels,
located in Tampa, Florida. We are home breeders,
and our mothers and fathers are all our pets. We focus
on quality puppies in exotic and rare colors. We have
a breeding program striving for excellence in type and
temperment for discerning individuals. Our dogs are
NOT raised in cages. They roam free through our house
and yard, and our all treated as the little babies that
they are. They enjoy playing inside and out! These are
not powdered and performed show dogs, allthough some
of them are certainly show quality. They're just happy,
healthy dogs that have a great life and tons of fun!
We do feed high quality food that is rich with the vitamins
and minerals that they need to produce strong healthy
babies. We promote our pups as pets and advise that
they are spayed/neutered and not breed. The puppies
are born and raised in the bedroom, and when they get
old enough are well socialized with the other pets.
All of our pups have current shots and have been dewormed,
and come with a health certificate for your peace of
mind! Our puppies are sold only to
loving homes and will never be sold to pet stores or pet brokers.Every
puppy comes with our full support. Our goal is to match a right puppy to the
right home. If you need any further information about any of our dogs, or available puppies, feel free to contact us
and we will be happy to answer any questions or concerns
you might have. If you're looking around and don't see
what you're looking for at the moment, please bookmark
us and come back-we're always getting new litters to
add to the mix. Enjoy!
The Pomeranian descended from the Spitz family of sled dogs
used in Iceland and Lapland. The breed was named after the historical region of
Pomerania (which is now present day Germany and Poland), not because they
originated there, but because that was where it was bred down to size. In its
larger form, the Pomeranian weighed as much as 30 lbs. and served as a sheep
herder. Breeders in Pomerania bred down the size to about 20 lbs. through
selective breeding. The Pomeranian was first brought to England by Queen
Charlotte in the late 17th century, but the breed became popular in 1888, when
Queen Victoria returned from Florence, Italy with an unusually small one named
Marco. Marco grew to only 12 lbs. at adult weight, which was tiny compared to
the average 20 lb. Pomeranian in the 18th century. Because the Queen was a
popular monarch, the breed's popularity grew as well as the desire for the
smaller size. Queen Victoria became such a fancier of the breed, that she
established her own kennel for their breeding in the late 1800's. Through
selective breeding over the years, Pomeranians have been bred down to a mere 7
lbs. or less! Other famous owners of these dogs include Marie Antoinette,
Mozart, Michaelangelo, and Martin Luther. Today, the Pomeranian is a coveted
companion and beautiful show dog.
The Pomeranian is lively, intelligent, and eager to learn. They
are bold, willful, and loyal to their owner. Most Pomeranians have a propensity
to be leery of strangers, and will bark excessively at people they have never
seen before. Pomeranians usually get along well with other animals. They are
very independent, alert, curious, and proud. If spoiled or improperly trained,
they may become demanding and willful. They are docile, even-tempered, and
affectionate, and they appeal to many people who normally don’t care for toy
dogs.
