You can expect your Pomeranian to be able to handle a 20 minute casual walk around your neighborhood or on a trail.
How Many Walks Can I Take My Pomeranian On In A Day
Your Pomeranian can go on two walks with you in a day, one early in the day and one later in the day.
Keep each of these walks to around 20 to 30 minutes in ideal weather conditions (35 to 68 degrees and dry).

I wouldn’t suggest bringing your Pomeranians up a mountain (unless you have a carrier to help your dog along the way),

Make sure you bring enough water and give your dog a good break every 15 to 20 minutes.
As always make sure the weather conditions are ideal.

How Far Can A Pomeranian Hike
A Pomeranian will enjoy going on short hikes.
The most important thing is to only bring your Pomeranian on a hike during ideal weather conditions and make sure they have enough water and a nice break every 20 minutes.

Pomeranians can not walk as far as many other dog breeds can.
Each dog breed is completely individual with their own strengths and physical abilities.
Pomeranians are wonderful companions but, they are not the type of dog that you can take on long walks or hikes.

Dangers On Walks With Your Pomeranian
We’ve discussed the dangers found in weather conditions as well as making sure your dog have enough rest and water on a walk.
Another danger we do need to be on the look out for is other dogs that we meet on our walks.
Pomeranians are very small dogs and often have a similar size and appearance as many much larger dogs toys have.
As well, as some other dog breeds have much stronger prey drives.
Being a small dog owner we need to be aware of the possibility of a dog attack on our dogs.
Final Thoughts
You can’t know for sure if your Pomeranian will love going for walks and hikes or if you dog would rather curl up with you on the couch.
If you are outdoorsy and introduce your Pomeranian to daily walks or weekly hikes you are more likely to have a dog that is well adjusted to those activities.
Always remember to be aware of the weather, you dogs abilities and being enough water for both you and your dog.
