The Japanese Spitz is a small breed, with slightly slanted, large oval eyes, over a tapering muzzle with black nose and lips. The face itself is wedge-shaped, the ears are small and pointed upright. The Spitz has a long-haired coat of pure white, with a thick under-layer. The overcoat sticks out in all directions - the Spitz always looks as if its having a bad hair day. The long-haired tail curls over the back. The Spitz has short hair on the bottom half of the legs, with breeches on the hind legs feathering on the forelegs, and dense feathering on the paws.

The Japanese Spitz is lively and playful, and very intelligent. It learns quickly, and enjoys playing games. It should be treated as a member of the family and not be neglected, as depression will ensue. The Spitz makes an excellent watch dog as it is suspicious of strangers and will bark immediately. Indeed, it does like to bark a lot. It is a friendly breed, and is patient with children and other dogs and household pets. The Spitz should be provided with obedience training from an early age, as this will act as mental stimulation. They are willing to learn and very eager to please their masters.

Despite the fact that the Spitz is a white dog, it is not that difficult to keep its coat clean. Indeed, it usually will need a bath only every six months. Japanese Spitz's coat are relatively dry and require bathing once every 6 months. The coat has a non-stick texture - which experts describe as similar to Teflon. Should the Spitz roll in a mud bath, for example, once the mud dries it will flake right off. They do need to be groomed twice a week - using a pin brush to reach the undercoat. This will prevent knots from forming.

The Japanese Spitz is a beautiful little dog that looks like nothing so much as an arctic white mini-Siberian Samoyed. Although it enjoyed a period of popularity in Japan during the 1950s, it didn't really become known in the west until the 1980s, and you may still have to invest some time seeking out this particular breed. This dog may have a personality as unique as its looks. One breeder has described the Japanese Spitz as a breed that approaches humans for companionship on an equal basis, rather than on the basis of submission. Be able to provide loving guidance to a spirited dog that demands kind, consistent training.

The Japanese Spitz is a spirited, intelligent, and playful dog. It makes an alert watchdog that is a tough little house protector and guardian. They are watchful dogs that are aware of things happening around them. They are as happy romping in a yard, as they are to cuddle up with their master and watch TV. This dog has the ability to fit into almost every lifestyle.
The Japanese Spitz is easy to train and responds to early and consistent training. This breed quickly learns games such catching balls or Frisbees. These dogs require a trainer who can impress upon them that he is the 'boss.'
These dogs may bark compulsively. They also bark to warn the owner of the approach of strangers.

The long-haired coat of the Japanese Spitz has a thick under-layer that is always pure white. The tail is covered with long hair and is carried curled over the back. The large oval eyes are dark and slightly slanted, and the nose and lips are black. There is dense feathering on the feet. The Japanese Spitz is not difficult to train as long as the owner is always consistent. This breed learns quickly and really enjoys agility and playing games of catch with balls or Frisbees. This happy dog is usually good with children and usually gets along well with other dogs and household pets. The Japanese Spitz is, in spirit, a big dog in a little dog's body. This tough little dog acts as a house protector and guardian. The Japanese Spitz can be an inveterate barker if you allow them to believe they are in charge. Be sure to tell your dog enough is enough and to quiet down if it starts barking obsessively. This dog is cheerful, bold, proud and affectionate toward its owner/s.

These little dogs are full of energy and can be very active. This being the case, you need to take your Japanese Spitz for a long walk on a daily basis. As long as your dog gets enough exercise, however, he will be perfectly happy living in an apartment or a house with limited outdoor space.

Japanese Spitz puppies can be quite a handful since this breed is naturally active and energetic. It is important to start training your puppy early so your dog doesn’t develop Small Dog Syndrome – it is also the key to ensuring that your puppy grows up to be obedient to your commands. Proper socialization is also important while your puppy is young to make sure that he doesn’t become dominant with other dogs and that he is friendly around people.

My friend’s Spitz is scared of tiled floors. He went nuts when he visited us and apparently at their home they have pieces of carpet like stepping stones for the whole of their tiled house. He is also scared of black coloured driveways so they have to walk around them when in walkies

My family has a Japanese spitz and she is the sweetest, chubby little dog. However she is also pretty lazy and possibly dumb as a brick.

The Japanese Spitz is a smart and loyal breed that gets along very well with young children. These little dogs crave human affection and will do anything they can to be included in family activities. Japanese Spitz dogs make great watchdogs because they tend to bark when a stranger comes near, though they are quick to warm up to people when properly introduced.

We just got a Japanese Spitz a few months ago. Such a great puppy! A little too smart for his own good. Good watchdog too. And very soft and snuggly.
