Wow that is nice, but I am not sure how I would feel about Maude having a bed that is nicer (and cost more) than my bed.  |

Ahh but given the pug breed history vs. the pom breed history ... I don't think Lola has a winning case for bed rights here  |

LOL - I think that thing would make for many pushes and shoves with a bunch of pugs - but when Lola steps in she would just give the one-eyed-stink eye and they all would scatter. She would then have the bed she so rightly deserves.

Pom Breed Hisotry for you poor souls not in the know. It's pitiful......
Most everyone is familiar with that little ball of fluff, with the foxy face, a personality that is infectious and vibrant, and a coat so full and luxuriant it is like that ball of fluff. There are not very many who are aware of the fact that this breed of dog has its origins in the Arctic ice of Iceland and Lapland. It claimed a genetic bond to the Alaskan Malamute, the Samoyed and the Siberian Husky, they were "cousins", within the Spitz family of canines. Of course, the Pomeranian then was a great deal larger than the dog we know today, averaging about thirty pounds. This dog earned its keep by being a sled dog. As explorers came in contact with the native people, they would bring back the native dogs to their homes. Eventually, these native dogs ended up in an area of Germany known as Pommerania. In Germany these dogs were used to herd livestock.
It is said that among the first to officially import the Pomeranian breed of dog to England was Queen Charlotte, the wife of George III. It must be stated here that at this time the Pomeranian was still a large-type dog. It seems that on the continent of Europe, the wealthy people were looking for small, companion dogs. The Pom was a lovely dog, bright, intelligent, and eager to please, but it was so large. This is when the down sizing of the breed started. When Queen Victoria went to Italy, she returned home with the Pomeranian we are more familiar with. The Pom became very popular in England, with the down sizing of the breed continuing.
In 1870, the Pomeranian was given recognition in Great Britain, by The Kennel Club. It was said that the dog's submitted to the conformation ring from the royal kennel, had to be put into a separate judging class. After all, who would judge that the royal family's dogs were not the best there.
The first Pomeranians that were exported from England to the U.S., were undoubtedly the larger variety.
In 1900, the American Kennel Club gave the breed recognition, and the Pomeranian Club of America was also formed at this time. The P.C.A. was given membership status in the A.K.C. in 1909.

Really like this bed and can't make it to any of the Pugalug events before Woofstock, so if purchased online would be tickets be mailed out to us or simply put into the raffle box? Could the tickets still be purchased at Woofstock? Really enjoyed the picture with the bed from the last raffle.
