Upon purchasing a Pomeranian puppy, you should be given a pedigree, vaccination records, details on worming treatments, proof that it has been micro-chipped, and general health records. These documents are required as per Australian standards, so if a seller does not have it is advisable to find another seller that does.
Always exercise caution if you're looking for a puppy online. You can safely buy Pomeranian puppies online, but the safest way to do so is through a reputable breeder. The ANKC strongly advises buyers against buying puppies through free marketplaces or unverifiable websites as their trading practices can't be regulated and can often be scams.
If you want a purebred Pomeranian, you should use the ANKC website to find a certified breeder. While doing so, avoid ads for Teacup Poms or ads from unverifiable sources. When you find a suitable breeder, be sure to ask questions and request pictures to confirm a pup's identity. Lastly, always ensure the pup has an information folder filled with the necessary documents before buying.
