Frequently Asked Questions
Curious about PomHaven, our puppies, or the placement process? Here are the answers to our most common breeder questions.
What’s included with my PomHaven puppy?
Each PomHaven puppy is placed with a comprehensive care package that includes AKC registration papers, a detailed health summary, up-to-date vaccination and deworming records, and a written health guarantee. You’ll also receive a puppy starter kit with care instructions, familiar items for comfort, and lifetime support from our team.
Are your puppies AKC registered?
Yes. All PomHaven puppies are registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC). We are committed to maintaining the highest breeding standards set forth by the AKC and the Pomeranian Parent Club.
What health testing do your parent dogs receive?
All PomHaven sires and dams undergo extensive health screening prior to breeding. This includes breed-recommended genetic testing, patellar evaluations, cardiac checks, and other structural assessments to ensure optimal health and quality of life for our puppies.
What should I prepare before bringing my puppy home?
We provide a detailed checklist before go-home day. Essentials include a safe, quiet space for adjustment, age-appropriate food, dishes, bedding, a crate, and toys. We also encourage scheduling a vet visit within the first 72 hours.
Do you provide ongoing support after the puppy goes home?
Yes. We pride ourselves on long-term relationships with our families. We offer continued guidance, training resources, nutrition support, and are always here to answer questions throughout your dog’s life.
Are your puppies socialized before going to their new homes?
Absolutely. PomHaven puppies are raised in a loving, family environment. From an early age, they are gently exposed to household sounds, basic handling, children, and safe enrichment exercises to help them develop into confident companions.
Can I choose my puppy or do you match based on fit?
While we welcome preferences, our placement approach considers both the puppy’s temperament and your lifestyle. We aim for the best match to ensure long-term success and satisfaction for both the family and the puppy.
Can I meet the puppies or parents before placing a deposit?
Yes. We welcome prospective families to get to know our breeding program. While we do not allow in-person visits until puppies reach a safe age, we offer virtual meetings, photo/video updates, and in some cases, scheduled visits in a controlled environment to meet the parents.
What’s your process for reserving a puppy?
To reserve a PomHaven puppy, we require a completed application and a non-refundable reservation deposit. Approved families will be added to our waitlist and matched with available litters based on compatibility and preferences.
Do you offer a health guarantee?
Yes. Each puppy is placed with a written health guarantee that covers genetic conditions as well as overall health for a specified period. Details of the guarantee are clearly outlined and provided to all buyers upon reservation.
At what age can I take my puppy home?
PomHaven puppies are ready to go to their forever homes at 9 weeks of age. This allows adequate time for early socialization, weaning, health monitoring, and initial vaccinations.
Do you provide ongoing support after the puppy goes home?
Yes. We pride ourselves on long-term relationships with our families. We offer continued guidance, training resources, nutrition support, and are always here to answer questions throughout your dog’s life.
Do PomHaven puppies come microchipped?
Microchipping is available upon request. If selected, the puppy will be microchipped before going home, and you will be provided with registration instructions and records.
Do you ship puppies out of state?
Yes, we offer safe, USDA-compliant transportation options for families located outside of California. Whether by ground or flight nanny, we ensure each puppy arrives safely and comfortably.

Where Bonding Begins
Success Stories
Don’t just take our word for it, hear from the families whose lives have been forever changed by a PomHaven pup. From first cuddles to lifelong companionship, these stories speak for themselves.
"As a pediatric nurse, I’m cautious about health, especially around kids. I was amazed by how well PomHaven prepared Leo. He came home calm and healthy, already used to gentle handling. The vet said he’s one of the best-socialized puppies she’s seen. I can’t thank PomHaven enough for our loving companion."
"My students were so excited when I brought in photos of our new Pomeranian, Daisy. She is everything I hoped for, sweet, curious, and confident. PomHaven truly raises these pups with intention and care. I appreciated how they kept me informed every step of the way and even checked in after the first vet visit. It didn’t feel like a sale; it felt like a handoff to family."
"In my line of work, I value discipline, calm under pressure, and loyalty. I saw all of that in Luna from the moment we brought her home. She settled in quickly, adapted to our household routine, and was surprisingly patient around new sounds and environments. PomHaven wasn’t just helpful, they were thorough, honest, and clearly care deeply about how their puppies are raised. I’d recommend them to any family who takes responsibility seriously."
As a busy U.S. Army sergeant, wife, and mother of two, bringing a Pomeranian puppy into our home was the best decision we’ve made. He’s been a perfect fit, playful with the kids, calm when we need peace, and full of love. Even during deployments, knowing he’s bringing joy and comfort to my family means everything. The placement process was smooth and professional, and we could tell our pup came from a caring, responsible breeder. He’s truly become a beloved part of our family.
