About Us ~
Sweet Introductions
Welcome to our place of introductions! We are excited to share a bit “About Us” and how we four ladies came together for showing our furbabies under the well-known name of Petticoat Poms and Persians. Twenty-two years ago, Petticoat Poms’ website began as me, Sheila, sharing my Pomeranian puppies with the online world. Over the past two decades, with breeding laws limiting us Texas ladies to only 4 intact females, and taking into consideration the costs and work needed to maintain a website, by invitation, I formed this sweet group. I’m honored they accepted, two of which are my daughters, now grown and married. Our four families share the same high standards for the purpose of showing off our handsome packs of Pomeranians or Persians and their litters. We have united with breeding goals that start with DNA health testing of our parents and a commitment for any offspring to be reviewed for good health by licensed veterinarians before leaving. Additionally we ensure and provide paperwork showing them to be current on vaccinations, ready for their forever homes fully weaned and a minimum of 8 weeks (puppies) & 10 weeks (kittens). We each offer health guarantees specified in our individual contracts and conduct our individual businesses completely separate. My contact is what you will see posted as I serve as the gatekeeper, eliminating scam callers before passing on your info to the others. Perhaps one day, if you fall in love with a Pomeranian puppy or Persian kitten found on our site, we will get to meet you in person for adoption day of your new furbaby.

My name is the heart behind Petticoat Poms & Persians, a small family-centered breeding program that began with a simple dream in 2004. That was the year I brought home my very first pair of Pomeranians, thinking it might become a fun little hobby—something our family could enjoy while raising a few puppies and sending them off to loving homes. At the time, I had no idea how much dedication, learning, and heart would be involved.
What first drew me to Pomeranians was impossible to ignore: their addictive personalities, incredible intelligence, and those irresistible fluffy bodies. Pomeranians truly are warm, breathing little balls of joy. Spending time with one is enough to convince anyone that they were designed by God as man’s best friend. It may sound like a cliché, but it’s only because it’s absolutely true. What I quickly learned, however, is that there is nothing easy about breeding such tiny and delicate animals. Over the years there has been as much heartache as joy. I’ve sacrificed sleep, missed events, and spent countless hours caring for lives so small they could fit in the palm of my hand. When a little life depends on you, there are no shortcuts. Much like parenting, raising animals with integrity requires time, money, patience, and many sacrifices for the well-being of something completely dependent on you.
As my love for the Pomeranian breed deepened, so did my commitment to producing healthy, well-socialized puppies that remain true to the breed standard. Each puppy raised here is part of our family long before they ever become part of yours.
As the years passed and my children grew up—many beginning their own lives in different states—I began to wonder if it might be time to retire from breeding Pomeranians. About 10 years back, I was introduced to the incredible breed of Persian cats through a friend who had two as pets along with her gang of Pomeranians. I found myself fascinated by them and the way they complemented each other in her family pack. For several years I studied the breed in depth. When I finally welcomed my first two Persians into our home and watched how peacefully they blended with our little pack of Pomeranians, I realized a new chapter might be unfolding.
Two very special events helped bring that vision to life. Two of my adult daughters decided to join this family adventure. One daughter now has her own little pack of Pomeranians and is already celebrating the joy of healthy, thriving puppies. My other daughter, who lives in Arkansas, has begun raising her own beautiful Persian cats. As a professional nurse, much of the care involved with delivery and newborn care comes naturally to her.Knowing that this passion could continue as a shared family journey gave me peace about stepping into something new. And so in 2026, Petticoat Poms has evolved into Petticoat Poms & Persians—a continuation of the same love, commitment, and dedication to healthy, well-raised animals, now shared across generations of our family.We’re so glad you’re here and hope you enjoy getting to know our animals as much as we enjoy raising them.
Hannah Collie
I am Hannah Sullivan, one of Sheila’s daughters who several of our returning customers have shared they remember meeting years ago when I was a child. Back then, when customers came for “go-home” day, a clan of small children would greet you at the gate, and welcome you to our home. This gave opportunity to meet the parents and see how/where your puppy was raised~ and meet those who happily socialized your furbaby. If you stayed long enough, I was the strawberry-headed little girl who would entice you to see my lizard tanks and frog habitats. For a while, I even raised tadpoles. I guess I left a an impression because one customer even returned and gifted me a box turtle and another, a chinchilla. Growing up in the country with an avid love for adventure, animals, and anything outdoors, I rescued/rehabilitated an array of abandoned critters. I’ll confess to “adopting” a wren or two straight from its nest, but most were small mammals in need of assistance. My mom was in full support, but the little skunk earned her an award in patience.
I relished wildlife, but my favorite mammals of all were the Pomeranians. My earliest puppy memories were with my sisters, creating small agility courses to run with our favorites. As I grew, so did my involvement with the Poms. From backyard play and socialization, I became involved with delivery, newborn care, vaccinations, bathing, and eventually tube feedings. I noted early on their trainability and retention of skills and made the most of the free YouTube lessons for clicker training~ positive reinforcement all the way!
So now, with my husband and I settled in the scenic Texas hill country, a home and spacious yard of our own, I’ve developed my own small, and very select, hobby breeding program. My Poms are selected for not only their beauty, and personality, but also their genetic health based on their DNA testing results. My goal is to do produce healthy Pomeranian puppies that bring joy to our customers for many years of happy memories. My children are enjoying many of the same experiences I relish from my childhood, namely growing up in a home with canine companions, developing a respect for all animals and nature in general, and a love for the Pomeranian breed.
Anadrew Paea
My name is Anadrew /Anna-drew/, no typo there but the one “n” is confusing. 🙂 Both my husband and I were Texas born, but after we married, his career relocated us to the lovely state of Arkansas. While we miss the warmer climate, we relish Arkansas’ natural hot springs, plethora of waterfalls, and the breathtaking Ozark mountains. By profession, I work with my BSN as a registered nurse; By passion, I raise CFA purebred Persian and Himalayan cats. I started my breeding program exclusively with females from Petticoat Poms and Persians; and after an arduous search, I acquired a striking male from Ukranian bloodlines. All of my Persian cats are selected based firstly for their clean DNA panels proving they are healthy, free of PKD and a list of other feline genetic issues. Secondly, they are chosen because of beautiful conformation. My goal is to produce kittens that are quality examples of the breed standard~ sweet smushy faces, tiny erect ears, and a well placed nose that sit smack-dab between their giant marble sized eyes. If their pancake-flat profiles don’t win hearts, their incredible gentle and extremely affectionate natures will. Our cats are raised in our home as family companions, and never declawed. When selecting a forever home, we look for those well versed in the Persian breed either by personal experience or research where they will ensure an indoor only life style for their own protection.
Hayley Powers
Hi, my name is Hayley, I bought my first Pomeranian at age 19 and fell in love with the breed. I appreciate their small size, low level of genetic concerns, long lifespan and overall disposition. I bought my 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th Pomeranians from Sheila starting back in 2007. Over the years, she has been a wealth of knowledge and has helped me to grow my understanding of Pomeranians. I personally breed on a very small scale with my dams and sire are our family pets. I strive to breed the highest quality Pomeranians. Our Poms are DNA tested to ensure we are correctly breeding the best strands to produce the healthiest puppies. All of our Poms are AKC and CKC registered. I joined up with this group of ladies because we all share the same core values and same high breeding standards. We operate with integrity, breed responsibly, and we each stand behind the puppies that we produce. We all put family first, and our Poms are a part of our family!
