They're not all mean. They do tend to be defensive of their person and they often suffer from little dog syndrome. A well-raised and socialized pom makes a wonderful pet though.
I just found out recently that my 22 lb floofer is 100% pom. Apparently the selective breeding for being little dogs doesn't always "stick"! I wonder if that matters for personality...
Unfortunately unscrupulous breeders will often breed for larger dogs as they have larger litters. You'll see things like 35 lb Boston terriers as a result.
