Doesn't she look like a little fox?
When I wrote my original post about our new puppy Pearl, I hadn't done much research on her breed. I did some research on Pomeranians, but I didn't realize that on her paperwork that I got from the breeder, her breed said Volpino Pomerania. When I mentioned it to the vet at her puppy check up yesterday, he told me Volpino meant "little fox" and that these dogs originate in Italy. I found that interesting because I have been calling her my
little fox since day 1. When I got home, I started doing more research and found that Volpinos are actually quite different from Pomeranians, and are a very rare breed {especially in the US}. A lot of people use the name Pomeranian as a general classification {
here}, but they go by the name Volpino Italiano or Volpino Spitz.
Here are some pictures of Little Miss Pearl over the last couple weeks:
All that fluff!

Connor loves to pick on play with her.
Time for a bath!
