The Program

About Charm City Poms

I am Annie, the preservation breeder behind Charm City Poms, located in Baltimore County, Maryland. My program is dedicated to the thoughtful preservation of the Pomeranian, with careful attention to health, temperament, and breed type.

Charm City Poms is intentionally small. Each breeding is planned with purpose, considering pedigree, structure, genetic health, and long-term impact on the breed. I actively exhibit my dogs and evaluate each generation against the standard to ensure that beauty is never separated from soundness.

Placement Philosophy

Puppies are not made available until they have been fully evaluated and veterinary cleared. I do not maintain a traditional waitlist; applications open only after puppies have been assessed for structure, temperament, and overall suitability.

Placement decisions are never made by order of inquiry or price, but by best fit. As deliberately as each breeding is planned, each home is selected with equal care. My goal is lifelong compatibility, for both the dog and the family.

Maintaining communication and learning about your lifestyle, expectations, and long-term goals is the best way to begin the process.

My program is best suited for families who value thoughtful breeding, long-term support, and breeder guidance in determining the right match.

Program Focus

While preservation and structure remain central, my program also incorporates less commonly seen, AKC-recognized colors; always with strict adherence to health testing and breed standards.

All breeding stock is tested in accordance with parent club recommendations, with publicly verifiable OFA results. In addition to required clearances, my program includes comprehensive genetic screening through Embark to support informed, responsible breeding decisions.

Preservation is not simply about producing puppies. It is about stewardship, protecting the integrity of the breed while nurturing dogs who thrive both in the ring and at home.

Legacy in Mind. Love at the Center.
