Pomeranians

Fox-faced toy breeds

Pomeranians are a breed of small, fluffy dogs with fox-like faces and thick double coats, originally bred from larger sled dogs in the Pomerania region of northern Europe.

They're known for their bold, lively temperaments despite their toy size: Her Pomeranian thinks he's a guard dog.

The breed became fashionable after Queen Victoria kept them. (Capitalized Pomeranian also refers to a person from Pomerania.)
