Fuji we had a miniature poodle when we was young never had it's fur clipped looked like a Rasta,
It used to warn the big mongrels that used to roam the streets in those days ,and used to come with us on the canal sides and rubbish heaps ratting,
would follow us everywhere and if we said go home when we was miles away would always be on the front step waiting.
One thing that tells me is if you get a dog out enough,they will try and please ,and seems the Pom is no exception ,trouble is it only happens ,seemingly ,once in a lifetime.
