I have a white pomeranian and my husband named him Monkey. He's the sweetest lil guy. Most people would tell me how well behaved he is(im such a proud momma
). They'd add that other poms (a neighbor's, a relative's or just a friend's pet) are yappy and loud. I think it's how they are introduced in your environment. I was warned before I got him that poms aren't great with small kids. I was scared when kids would come and pet him when he was still a pup ehehehhee But now that he's 2 years old, he can mingle with anyone.
Goodluck with the search!
