Reality Check: What Nobody Tells You

They're louder than you think. Pomeranians bark. A lot. At everything. You can train them, but you can't completely stop it. If you live in an apartment with thin walls, prepare for complaints.
Grooming is mandatory, not optional. That fluffy coat needs brushing multiple times a week or it turns into a matted disaster. Skip grooming and you'll end up shaving them, which ruins their coat.
They're surprisingly expensive. The dog itself is pricey. Then there's grooming, vet bills, quality food, and all the stuff they destroy. Budget at least $1,500-$2,000 per year after the first year.
They think they're huge. Your Pom will challenge big dogs, try to boss you around, and generally act like they run the place. Small dog syndrome is real and you have to actively prevent it.
They're fragile in ways you don't expect. Jumping off furniture can break bones. Rough play can injure them. They can squeeze through gaps you didn't think were possible. You have to be constantly aware.
They're velcro dogs. Pomeranians are clingy. They follow you everywhere, demand constant attention, and can develop separation anxiety if left alone too much. Privacy is gone.
