I am looking to purchase a pomeranian puppy from a breeder that breeds her dogs indoors and they are not in cages. She only breeds pomeranians. I was given her name by someone else who purchased a dog through her. Anyway, I was looking at her 10 week old pom who weighs 1 pound and noticed that her eyes did not quite look in the same direction. I don't know if this is just puppy stage or is something wrong? I do know the hereditary traits of poms, and know they have eye problems called entropion, but it doesn't look the same. I had a pom for 17 years, but it was bigger than this one is at her age? Thanks in advance for any replies! J-

I just saw the pictures and requested more, and also asked a million questions this AM. Awaiting response from her now. I have laryngitis along with a bad sore throat, and cannot speak with her directly today. I did ask for the veterinarian health examination along with all the shots she's had etc.., but am awaiting reply from her now. Is this what you mean by health testing results?
Thanks

No. Health testing is not just taking the dog to the vet to get an overall, "yeah she's healthy"
Health testing is when you get their eyes, hips, or whatever needs to be tested, tested and confirmed that they are gentically healthy. Meaning they can't pass on genetic diseases like hip displaysia, or eye problems.

Exactly. Don't settle for just the vet check up - that's not health testing. You want to see OFA and CERF clearances and whatever else the pom should be tested for. If she can't provide these, then you are probably dealing with a backyard breeder and you should keep searching for a reputable breeder of poms.
