Yup, Poms were originally 30 plus pound sled dogs. I have a pom, his name is Bear... he's only 6 months old and HUGE! I would love to see a sled pulled by lots of tiny pomeranians. They'd do it too!
I feel very badly for that poor family. I take both my pups (Pomeranian and Chihuahua) to Petco in Everett for grooming.
OK - at least the Pom needs to be brushed out, which might be considered ~difficult~. But why pay someone else to bathe a chihuahua? I am curious. Seems like two minutes in the sink and a towel would about cover it.
