Teddy And TJ Pomeranians

The Pomeranian has been among the more popular dog breeds in the United States, consistently in the top 15 of registered AKC dog breeds over the last 10 years. The breed ranked #13 in the 2008 rankings having attained the same ranking in 2007 and 2003.
However, it is not listed in the top 20 breeds in the UK in either 2007 or 2008. In Australia their popularity has declined since 1986, with a peak of 1128 Pomeranians registered with the Australian National Kennel Council in 1987, however only 577 were registered in 2008. But this itself is an increase from 2004, when only 491 dogs were registered.
It is more popular in American cities in 2008, ranking joint tenth (with American Bulldog) in Detroit and Orlando, ninth in Los Angeles, a joint seventh in Seattle (again, with the American Bulldog), but third in Honolulu, only bested by the Labrador Retriever and the German Shepherd Dog.
