What was the Pomeranian bred for?

The Pomeranian was originally bred for companionship and as a pet to royalty and nobility. This breed’s ancestors were much larger and used for work, such as herding and pulling sleds, particularly in the region of Pomerania in Central Europe. But over time, the Pomeranian’s size reduced significantly, as they were bred to become more of a companion animal and a beloved family pet due to its charming disposition.
