Adult Pomeranians are very small dogs, typically about 6–7 inches (15–18 cm) tall at the shoulder and weighing around 3–7 pounds (1–3 kg).

Quick Scoop: Pomeranian Size

  • Most adult Poms stand roughly 6–7 inches tall at the withers (shoulder).
  • Typical healthy weight range is about 3–7 pounds (1–3 kg).
  • Many breed standards and guides still classify them as toy dogs because of this tiny size.
  • Show Pomeranians are often preferred in the 4–6 pound range, but pet Poms can be anywhere in the normal 3–7 pound span.
  • Some individuals end up a bit bigger or smaller than the “ideal,” but they are still generally very small companion dogs.

Height, Weight, and Body Length

  • Average height at the withers: 6–7 inches (about 15–18 cm).
  • Average body length (nose to base of tail): roughly 9.5–11 inches (24–28 cm).
  • Standing height (from floor to top of head/back when standing): around 8–9.5 inches (20–24 cm).
  • Their fluffy double coat makes them look fuller and rounder than their actual tiny frame.

When Do Pomeranians Stop Growing?

  • Pomeranians reach most of their height and length by around 6–7 months, then fill out a little more in weight and coat.
  • Many charts and breeders consider them fully grown at about 10–12 months.
  • Typical weight at 12 months lands in that 3–7 pound adult range if they are within standard size.

Mini “Teacup” and Bigger Poms

  • Terms like “teacup Pomeranian” are marketing phrases, not official sizes in major kennel club standards.
  • Official guidelines still describe a standard Pom as 3–7 pounds, regardless of nicknames.
  • Some lines produce slightly larger dogs (sometimes called “throwback” Poms), which can be over 7 pounds but still clearly Pomeranians.

Forum & “Latest News” Style Notes

  • Recent guides and pet-health articles in the mid‑2020s still describe Poms as one of the smallest companion breeds, keeping the same 3–7 pound, ~6–7 inch standard.
  • Online forum discussions from Pom owners often mention their dogs topping out somewhere between 4–8 pounds, with many people comparing their pup to breed weight charts to see if growth looks normal.

In forum threads, you’ll often see comments like: “My Pom is 6 months and already 6 lbs—will she get bigger?” and the usual answer is that most of the height is done, with just a bit more filling out to come.

TL;DR: Most Pomeranians stay very small, ending up around 6–7 inches tall and 3–7 pounds as adults, with growth mostly complete by about a year old.
