One of the funniest scenes in Queen Charlotte This happens when King George’s page sends a gift to the Queen as compensation for his absence. it’s small Pomeranian dog breed who, in Carlota’s eyes, is nothing more than an amorphous rabbit. However, little by little he allows himself to be seen with him. And this is also not the result of fiction, because it is enough to look for some portraits of the monarch to know that she liked being in the company of these dogs. So much so that it is believed that it was she who began to like European know enjoy the company of this dog breed.
Actually, Queen Charlotte’s dogIn fact, he started out as a much larger dog. typical of the arctic. There he was usually used as a sled dog. However, over time, after it was introduced to Europe, it was crossed with other breeds to produce the little Pomeranian that the Queen enjoyed and that we know today.
This is not the only dog breed associated with the British nobility. For example, we all know that Queen Elizabeth II also loved these animals, especially corgi and dorgi. There is even an idea that this last race could be created for her when her dog, a corgi named Susan, crossed paths with her sister Marguerite’s dachshund.
From the Arctic to England
Pomeranian belongs to the family Spitz. These are dogs that are characterized two layers of hair. The former are short and fluffy, attached to the body to protect against the cold, while the latter are long and smooth. Both together make these animals ideal dogs for arctic climates.
Also, because they are usually strong dogs, they are very good as sled dogs. These were the first births of this breed. However, it was brought to Europe through the Pomerania region, on the border between Germany and Poland, first changing the name, and then the appearance. The change in appearance was the result of successive intersections, in which certain characteristics were chosen that made them good pets. Little by little their size decreased, so that when they arrived in England they were already much smaller.
It is believed that by that time they weighed about 10 kg. But today they usually do not weigh more than 3, so they continued to cross. Despite this, Queen Charlotte’s dog was significantly larger than the modern Pomeranian.
This is what is still thought. That in fact the Pomeranian as we know it did not arrive before 19th century. But the truth is, there are some doubts about this, because in the painting of the 15th century, Arnolfini’s marriage, a dog appears that could be a Spitz, and it already has its current size. However, the hair looks a little different, so it might be a different breed.
Dog Queen Charlotte
We have already seen that in Queen CharlotteFiction is often mixed with reality. True, before she was accompanied by dogs of the Pomeranian breed. What is not known for sure is how the first pet came into his life.
In the series, the King gives it to him after being rescued from the lab by a doctor who was trying to cure his illness with questionable ethics.
She rejects him at first, but gradually gets used to him and, seeing herself older, continues to get dogs of this breed. In fact, this was the case, although when the breed did become very famous among the British nobility, granddaughter Victoriawho has yet to be born on the show, returned from a trip to Italy with a Pomeranian dog named Marco.
Now he is not a royal dog. This is a fairly common dog breed. But this hides the problem. And the fact is that often crosses are made to obtain Pomeranians. even less. So-called toy dogs. They may have many health problems caused by both blood relations transitions, as well as their reduced sizes. In the case of the Pomeranians earsalthough he may suffer from many other diseases. A medium-sized Pomeranian, like Queen Charlotte, would be better. They are no longer amorphous rabbits and are no longer the size of a sled dog, although they are related to the Samoyed itself.
In any case, if you want a dog, you already know what the breed should be at least. Especially if their intersection leads to health problems.
