Montefino Pomeranians
Meet the breeder
I'm Michael R., the breeder behind Montefino Pomeranians located in Spring Branch, TX. Show breeder with decades of experience. Poms have been my passion since my childhood. With their joyful expression, abundant personality, they bring happiness and smiles. It's no wonder you can't help but love them. Over the years, I've dedicated myself to produce beautiful show specimens that are healthy, happy, and well adjusted. I pour my heart into every puppy I deliver, ensuring they receive the best care and the healthiest start in life. All my dogs are screened through DNA as well as OFA testing based on the recommendations put out by the American Pomeranian Club. I want to lower the health risks of my dogs so they can lead longer fruitful lives. Our pups are raised in our home and are loved as family. We love what we do and truly want nothing more than to see each and every one of our puppies shine!
