blueboyluca: In this instance the name of the breed has nothing whatever to do with its point of origin. It is claimed that the breed was reduced in size to its present smallness in the Duchy of Pomerania. No explanation is made of how it got there and, anyway, the fact is not emphasised or sworn to. Let us just accept the name and, as in the case of other blessings, ask no questions.— Ernest H. Hart, Encyclopedia of Dogs (1968) -- source link
