Information about Japanese Spitz
The Japanese Spitz is a small to medium breed of dog of the Spitz type. The Japanese Spitz is a companion dog and pet.

Appearance
The Japanese Spitz is a small dog, around 33 cm (13 ins) at the withers, with a somewhat square body, deep chest, and a very thick, pure white double coat. The coat consists of an outer coat that stands off from the soft inner coat, with fur shorter on the muzzle and ears as well as the fronts of the forelegs and the hindlegs. A ruff of longer fur is around the dog's neck. It has a pointed muzzle and small, triangular shape prick ears (ears that stand up.) The tail is long, heavily covered with long fur, and is carried curled over and lying on the dog's back. The white coat contrasts with the black pads and nails of the feet, the black nose, and the dark eyes. The large oval (akin to a ginko seed) eyes are dark and slightly
slanted with white eyelashes, and the nose and lips and eye rims are black. The face of the Japanese Spitz is wedge-shaped.

Temperament
Active, loyal and bright the Japanese Spitz are known for their great
courage, affection and devotion making them great watchdogs and ideal
companions for older people and small children. Most Japanese Spitz are
good watch dogs and they have a tendency to bark to warn off arriving
strangers.
The Japanese Spitz is first and foremost a companion
dog and thrives on human contact and attention, preferring to be a
member of the family. They are known as very loyal dogs. Despite their
relatively small size, they are brave and consider it their duty to
protect their family. They enjoy being active and love to be in the
outdoors.[9]
They are intelligent, playful, alert, and obedient, and particularly
excellent and loving toward children.

Care
Japanese Spitz can tolerate cold weather, but as it was bred as a
companion dog, prefers to live in the house with the warmth of its human
family.

Grooming
2 year old Japanese Spitz


Despite the appearance of the Japanese Spitz’s pure white coat they
are in fact a low maintenance breed. They are a very clean dog and do
not have a doggy odor, due to the texture of their coat mud and dirt
fall off or can be brushed out very easily. They have a major coat shed
once a year, but like most dogs shed minimum all year round.
Some love to swim and in which case regular baths are not necessary.
You will find yourself washing your dog after a swim- sure the sand and
dirt will dry and fall out but Japanese Spitz are an inside dog and hate
to be locked away (in order to dry).
The Japanese Spitz's coat is relatively dry compared to other breeds.
Some sources state that the breed should not be bathed more frequently
than once every two months, as bathing and shampoo strips the natural
oil and moisture from their coat. This can cause skin sensitivity and
itchiness. Their coat should be groomed twice a week using a pin brush
that reaches to the undercoat, preventing formation of knots.
Grooming this breed is relatively easy in contrast to other dog breeds.
Their white fur coat has a non-stick texture often described as being
similar to Teflon.

Training
Basic obedience training for all breeds of dog
should be commenced at a young age to provide mental stimulation. The
Japanese Spitz is an intelligent breed and will quickly learn what is
required of them if gentle consistency is applied. They are small enough
to enjoy being a lap dog, but do possess an independent nature and a
strong will of their own so new owners need to be firm with their pups,
although not harsh. During their first few months of life, the breed
tend to have itchy gums due to teething and will require a safe toy to
bite. Positive reinforcement of treats and praise will bring out their
eagerness to learn and their willingness to please. Harsh handling and
strong verbal and physical discipline
are harmful and may be met with resistance. Socialization at a very
early age can introduce the puppy to various people, places, noises,
situations and other animals. An adequately socialized puppy Japanese
Spitz will mature into a friendly, confident, well mannered adult.
