Just so those of you with judgment issues in the dog rescue department can plan ahead: when I’m President of the United States, the first thing on my agenda will be to outlaw Pomeranians.
I have never experienced such a disturbance of the peace from such a small package till that psychotic little runt moved in across the hall. Many apartment buildings have an upper size limit for dogs, but like speed limits on the interstates, I think they really need a lower limit, too.

Oh you picked the WRONG dog breed to mess with, Mister. You cannot judge all Pomeranians by one experience. It’s really about the owner’s personality and how they do or do not nurture, teach and handle their dog! Pomeranians are God’s gift to this Earth.
Further support for my argument:

They’re Furry Prozac.
I’m TELLING You.
Seriously.
Please re-consider your PomBan.

It’s not just one experience, either. I have YET to meet a Pomeranian that wasn’t high-strung and prone to go apeshit at the slightest provocation. They think they can start a fight with dogs ten times their size, and sometimes I wish my dog was more aggressive to prove them wrong. When they bark, it’s like record-scratches with the knob turned to 11, not so much a bark as a screech. Plus, they’re just too foofy-looking. If you wanted small and foofy you should’ve gotten a cat, they’re quieter and don’t need walks.

Oh, now you’ve stepped in it. Poms are adorable. They are one of the few dogs actually allowed in my condo (where all dogs must be 10 pounds or less). I’m with Betsy. Reconsider your pom bigotry. Or perhaps one night we’ll find you in an ally bleeding from all kinds of tiny teeth marks.

little dogs take up perfectly good air that big dogs should be breathing. poms are weird. ever seen one wet? they look like rats. even dry they look like rats, only then they look like rats with a little don king hairdo.

I love every dog ever born, so I won’t argue the merits of big vs. small. I’m as likely to love a Great Dane as a Pom.
And I’ll admit…I once lived next door to someone who had a shrill, barky pom. I dreamed of feeding it a vat of peanut butter so it would shut up. I hear your frustrations with sound pollution. But take it up with the owner. Ultimately, it’s their responsibility, because all poms are inherently good.
And hilarious. That’s the draw - they’re nonstop freakshow canine comedians. Always entertaining.
And to address your earlier question, cats hurt people. They scratch. Their tongues are rough and sorry, their butts smell worse than poms’.

That whole “No dogs overs 30lbs” rule is completely ridiculous. No chocolate labs. No golden retrievers. Only Paris Hilton-eque dogs. I’ll take a pass.
