Why we don't discount older puppies 🧡🧡🧡🧡

I see this all the time,
people assume if a puppy is a little older they should be cheaper.

And I get why people think that.

Because a lot of people are used to seeing puppies pushed out the door at 8 weeks.
And if they don’t sell right away the price drops.

So it starts to feel normal.

But that’s not how I do things.

Because when a puppy stays here longer…
they’re not just “waiting.”

They’re getting more.

More time.
More work.
More intention.
More of me.

Every single day they’re here, they’re being worked with.

We’re building routines.
Working on potty habits.
Continuing pen training.
Teaching them how to settle instead of panic.

They’re going through our curriculum not just once, but consistently.

They’re being exposed to real life.
Sounds, movement, grooming, new environments all in a way that builds confidence instead of fear.

And yes there’s a fear period in there too.

And instead of sending them off right in the middle of that and hoping for the best, I’m here helping guide them through it.
Helping them process things the right way.
Helping them not become anxious or unsure.

That matters more than people realize.

And on top of all of that
they’re being loved on constantly.

Not just taken care of, loved.

I know them.
I know their personalities, their quirks, what kind of home they’ll thrive in.

I know who’s more easygoing,
who needs a little extra reassurance,
who’s going to be someone’s shadow.

That only comes with time.

So when people ask why I don’t discount older puppies,

it’s because you’re not getting “what’s left.”

You’re getting a puppy that has had more poured into them.

More structure.
More exposure.
More training.
More one-on-one.
More love.

Just because a puppy stays with a breeder longer,
does not mean they should be cheaper.

We’re not trying to rush puppies out the door.

We’re not money hungry.

If anything, we’re the opposite.

We will keep our puppies as long as they need to be kept.
until the right home comes along, because their first home is here with us.

I don’t care if someone comes with cash in hand ready to take one home that day.

That doesn’t impress me.

What matters is where they’re going.

Because this isn’t a bidding war.

These are living, breathing puppies
that we have poured our heart into since day one.

Older puppies aren’t less valuable to me.

If anything,
they’re the ones I’ve spent more time with,
put more work into,
and poured even more of myself into.

& that’s something I’ll never discount. 🧡

The History Of Pomeranian
The Pomeranian, one of the smallest and most popular toy dog breeds today, has a long history that traces back to large working dogs from northern Europe.

Prehistoric / Early Origins:
The Pomeranian is believed to descend from large Spitz-type dogs that lived in Arctic regions. These dogs were strong, thick-coated, and well adapted to cold climates. They were commonly used for herding, guarding, and even pulling sleds, making them practical working animals rather than companion pets.

Pomerania Region:
The breed developed in the region of Pomerania, which lies along the Baltic Sea in modern-day northern Poland and Germany. It is from this region that the breed gets its name. Over time, these dogs gradually became smaller through selective breeding while still retaining the characteristic Spitz features such as a curled tail and dense coat.

Royal Influence:
In the 18th century, Pomeranians were introduced to England by Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III. At that time, they were larger than the modern version. The breed gained even more popularity during the reign of Queen Victoria, who owned and favored much smaller Pomeranians. Her preference played a major role in the breed’s reduction in size, as breeders began selectively breeding smaller dogs.

Miniaturization:
Through selective breeding in the 19th century, the Pomeranian was gradually reduced from a medium-sized Spitz dog to the small toy breed we recognize today. During this process, its coat became fuller and more luxurious, and its features became more refined and compact.

Recognition and Popularity:
The Pomeranian gained recognition from major kennel clubs in the late 1800s, including the American Kennel Club (AKC), which officially recognized the breed in 1888. Since then, it has become a popular companion dog worldwide.

Modern Pomeranian:
Today, Pomeranians are known for their fluffy double coats, fox-like faces, and lively personalities. Despite their small size, typically weighing between 3–7 pounds, they are confident, alert, intelligent, and very attached to their owners. They are also available in a variety of coat colors and are recognized for both smooth and long, dense fur.

The Pomeranian remains a beloved companion dog and a symbol of charm and elegance, with a history that reflects the transformation from a hardworking Arctic dog to a refined and affectionate household pet, service K9, while still holding true to their nature of working class, (Huge heart, little ball of fluff). 🧡
