Chocolate Pomeranian Puppies for Sale
Chocolate Pomeranians have a rich brown coat with matching brown noses, lips and eye rims. It is a warm, unusual look that stands apart from the black-pointed colors.
What makes a Pomeranian chocolate
Chocolate is caused by a recessive gene on the B locus that changes black pigment to brown. A puppy needs a copy from each parent, so chocolate can appear in litters from black, sable or other parents who quietly carry the gene. The giveaway is the points: a chocolate Pomeranian always has a brown nose, brown lips, brown eye rims and brown paw pads, never black. Eye color is often a lighter hazel or amber.
The shade ranges from milk chocolate to dark, almost bittersweet brown. Brown-based dogs can also show other patterns, so you may see chocolate and tan, chocolate sable, chocolate parti and chocolate merle.
How the coat changes over time
Chocolate puppies are often born a deep, even brown. As the adult coat comes in, the color may lighten a little, and sun can fade the tips to a reddish or coppery tone. The puppy uglies stage can make a chocolate puppy look uneven and dull for a few months. Most chocolates settle into their adult color between one and two years. Brown noses can also lighten slightly in winter, which is normal.
Grooming a chocolate coat
- Brush two or three times a week down to the skin with a pin brush and metal comb.
- Limit long stretches in strong sun if you want to keep the color rich.
- Use a conditioning shampoo; dry, sun-damaged tips fade faster.
- Tear staining is rarely noticeable, which keeps daily face care easy.
What to ask on the video call
Brown coats change a lot under different lighting, from warm indoor bulbs to cool daylight. On your live WhatsApp call:
- Ask the breeder to step near a window or outside so you see the true shade.
- Ask for a close-up of the nose, eyes and paw pads. All should be brown.
- Ask the colors of both parents and whether earlier chocolate puppies from the pair lightened as adults.
- Ask whether either parent is merle, if the puppy looks mottled.
- Review vaccination records, vet check results and the microchip.
Chocolate and related colors
Chocolate is the starting point for several rarer colors. Add the dilution gene and you get a softer beaver or lavender coat. Because chocolate is recessive, these puppies tend to come from breeders who focus on brown lines, and availability can be patchy.

Frequently asked questions
Do chocolate Pomeranians have brown noses?
Yes. Chocolate dogs cannot produce black pigment, so the nose, lips, eye rims and paw pads are always brown.
Can two black Pomeranians have a chocolate puppy?
Yes, if both parents carry the recessive chocolate gene. On average about one in four puppies from such a pairing would be chocolate.
Will my chocolate puppy's coat fade?
It may lighten a little as the adult coat comes in, and strong sun can bleach the tips. The color usually settles between one and two years.
