Pomeranian

Pomeranians(or Poms, Pom-Poms. Pommies) are teeny tiny dogs(only 3-7 lbs!!!) that are labeled as "yappy dogs". Which is true; they have a very high energy level. Poms can have medium-long length hair, which can be a variety of colors including red, orange, cream and sable, black, brown and blue, brindle, white, or parti-color! The most popular color is red/orange. But along with that beautiful coat comes moderate shedding, regular brushing, and trimming(their coat) is optional. You can have it professionally done, or there are YouTube videos on how to trim your own dogs fur; it's pretty easy! Poms are very tiny, so they need to have gentle handling, so best for older kids and supervision for children 7 and under; they excel in obedience and therapy(with the right training, of course!). Beware: these dogs ARE happy, and don't do outdoors and small kids.
