Scientists Trace Pomeranian Heritage to Teddy Bears

Geneticists at the University of California, Berkeley will publish new findings on the breeding heritage of Pomeranians.

“We’ve found a fork in the family tree that may explain why Poms are so puffy and cheerful all the time,” says Daniel Kromer, a senior researcher. “It seems they share a common ancestor with Teddy bears. It makes a lot of sense. I mean, just look at those things.”
