Hey Husky Mom,

What breed is Roger? I don't remember hearing about him. Remember we are not so worldly here in the US. If I remember correctly, 2 KG is just about 4-1/2 pounds??? Post pics!!!

Roger is your pom, right?

If bobsmom is right on the conversion, Roger and Lily are about the same size

.

Lily hasn't gotten that fluffy and I don't know why. She gets super fluffy after her baths, but then her hair just kind of falls flat. I guess she needs to be trimmed, but I don't think she would like that very much LOL.

I want those pictures, SOON

**Husky_mom** · 02-12-2010, 01:03 PM

.. I thought about converting it.. but just got lazy..lol.. yeah it would be about 4lbs..

I don´t think Queeq weighted that much full grown.. lol.. although Roger is still very tiny.. probably less than 8 inches tall..

and if you say Lily isn´t fluffy.. then Roger is bald.. haha.. he was like a husky kinda length fur.. he is getting a lil longer hairs on the tail so it´s not that ratty as he had when I got him..lol..

I´ll try get them uploaded soon.. very soon as I can´t take any more as the memory is full.. so I HAVE to do it.. hehe

in the meantime.. and for those missing who Roger is.. here he is ..oldie pic.. around dec.. and when I post recent ones you´ll definately see a fur difference

He's a cutie!

Glad to know he's growing every day!

New Pom pics are a must!!! Can't wait to see the latest.

Myndi is more silky than Pom fluffy. I've noticed that most of the black ones are that way, for some reason. And she's not the itty-bitty Pom either - she goes about 10 lbs. Not an ounce of fat on her - just on the bigger side all over. I think in order to show, they have to go between 4 and 7 pounds - so she's a big girl in comparison to that.

So it's normal then for them to not be like the coarse-ish dense coat all over?

Lily has the undercoat that's like that, but her top coat is more silky-ish like you said, haha. Maybe it is a black Pom thing.

OMG, Isabel, he is too cute. I like the puppy uglies stage... There was one poor Pom somewhere online that got bald spots when he went through the puppy uglies, it was hilarious LOL. In that pic, Roger looks like he was going through the puppy uglies just a bit

. Can't wait to see the new pics. I have a soft spot for black and tans hehehe.

That's the way Myndi is. She has the fuzzy undercoat but silkier on top - especially from her shoulders back to her tail. She has the coarser coat around her neck and chest (reminds me of a lion's ruff), and around her haunches and her butt. She may not have the "perfect Pom" coat, but she's perfect in my eyes!

Okay, that sounds like the way Lily's hair is too. I've always been really confused as to why everyone else has super fluffy Poms and then Lily's hair was different. It's good to know I'm not alone, hehe. I don't mind that Lily has silkier hair either; I honestly think it might be easier to brush with the silkier hair. Btw, Myndi is a pretty girl

I think the less hairy coat like that is more common in the black an tan Poms. as ive seen a couple other black an tan Pom puppies with exactly the same type of coat. when they get older they go more to a silk type of coat.

i think thats more of a blessing as its less hair to wash an brush an theyre still just as cute as the more hairier coated Poms.
