History: The Pomimo is a cross of American Eskimo and the Pomeranian, originating in the United States of America. Since this breed is so new, the Pomimo breed’s history relies on the parents. The American Eskimo originated in Germany and is a member of the Spitz family. They were bred as farm dogs and initially referred to in Germany as the “Deutch Spitz.” Due to the anti-German prejudice following World War 1, they were renamed “American Eskimos.” In the 19th century, the breed performed with traveling circuses in the United States where they grew in popularity. The American Kennel Club recognized the breed in the Non-Sporting Group in 1995. The Pomeranian hails from the Prussian region of Pomerania, now considered Germany and Poland. The breed did not become well known until 1870 when the England Kennel Club recognized it. In 1888, Queen Victoria discovered the breed while visiting in France. The breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1888.
