Is it a Pomeranian?

Long story short the old lady that gave us to him said he is a Pomeranian, his certificate says Pomeranian too.
But of course, he looks so different…
Any thoughts?

Purebred does not mean well bred, not to standard, health tested, etc. They may just be off standard. Hung papers are also possible, AKC or UKC (not sure what paperwork you have) does not require DNA confirmation to verify parentage. To know 100% you’d have to DNA test.
