The Spectacular Spitz Breeds

If you live in an area with a severe winter climate, consider a Pomeranian dog breed. Many of these dogs were raised for life in arctic climates and originated from Scandinavia, Russia, North America, and Asia. The word "Spitz" in German means pointed. Physically, most Pomeranian dog breeds have pointed, pointed ears, almond-shaped eyes, a heavy double coat, and a feathery tail that runs across the back. All these features help keep you warm when the temperature drops.

  1. The Spectacular Spitz Breeds If you live in an area with a severe winter climate, consider a Pomeranian dog breed. Many of these dogs were raised for life in arctic climates and originated from Scandinavia, Russia, North America, and Asia. The word "Spitz" in German means pointed. Physically, most Pomeranian dog breeds have pointed, pointed ears, almond- shaped eyes, a heavy double coat, and a feathery tail that runs across the back. All these features help keep you warm when the temperature drops. Spitz breeds are generally loyal, intelligent and loving, but can also be independent and fearless. These active dogs are not always suitable for beginners, but they do have a professional background and their duties range from helping hunters find game to pulling heavily loaded sledges to herding animals such as reindeer. Even their thick fur needs regular grooming to prevent hair loss!

  2. There are 50 to 70 different breeds of Pomeranian dogs, but some cannot be easily classified because there is no precise definition. These 16 AKC recognized breeds are synonymous with the Spitz classification and show why so many people have made this type of dog a member of their family. The Japanese Spitz was bred to be a small companion dog that was lovable, loyal, kind, and intelligent. Although not bred specifically as guard dogs, they have a fearless nature and an innate desire to protect their families, and they bark quite loudly for their size. Although a relatively new breed, Japanese Spitz dog are becoming increasingly popular due to their pleasant disposition, ability to get along with other dogs and children, and relatively low grooming requirements, among other things. Furthermore, they are generally healthy dogs that have a high average life expectancy. Dogs of this breed are well adapted to apartment living and have a low to the moderate need for exercise. Taking a walk at least once a day should keep them happy and avoid boredom, along with the destructive tendencies seen in dogs of almost all breeds when left off for too long without physical and mental exercise. Japanese Spitz dogs respond well to training and are quick to learn. They are good choices for first-time dog owners provided they are prepared to meet the exercise needs of a Japanese Spitz and learn the basics of responsible pet training before bringing a dog home. Highlights  Indian spitz dog, despite their beautiful white fur, require relatively little grooming. Their fur repels most dirt and grime, and they rarely need a bath, as they don't smell like a dog. Two good brushes a week should suffice.  Although similar to the American Eskimo Dog, Pomeranian, and Samoyed breeds, the Japanese Spitz breed has its own history and is recognized as a separate breed by many kennel clubs around the world.  Japanese Spitz dogs bark louder than you might expect, and they are known for being fearless, especially when protecting their families.  Although they make good apartment dogs, Japanese Spitz dogs cannot be left alone for long periods of time or become anxious.  These dogs are very intelligent and respond well to positive reinforcement training.  Japanese Spitz dogs are family-friendly. They are known to be playful and gentle with children, and they get on with other dogs in the household. History The Japanese Spitz breed originated in 1921 at a dog show in Tokyo, Japan. The first dogs of the breed are descendants of several white German Spitz dogs brought from China to Japan. In the years that followed, many other white Spitz breeds were imported from around the world and crossed to produce more desirable traits in the emerging Japanese Spitz breed. The breed standards were not set until after World War II and the Japan Kennel Club began to recognize the Japanese Spitz. In the 1950s,

  3. Japanese Spitz dogs were exported to Sweden, then England, and then around the world. Eventually, national dog clubs around the world recognized the Japanese Spitz as their own breed, although many of these dog clubs still differ in their breed standards, especially when it comes to how large these dogs need to be. An exception is the American Kennel Club, which does not recognize the Japanese Spitz as an independent breed, mainly because of its strong resemblance to the American Eskimo dog. The breed is becoming increasingly popular around the world. For more information visit our website Creature Companion.
