Spitz and Primitive types
GERMAN SPITZ, INCLUDING KEESHOND AND POMERANIAN
| Classification | Code |
|---|---|
| 5 | FCI-Standard N° 97 |
Use:
Watch and Companion Dog.
appearance:
Spitz breeds are captivating on account of their beautiful coats, made to stand off by plentiful undercoat. Particularly impressive is the strong, mane-like collar round the neck (ruff) and the bushy tail carried boldly over the back. The foxy head with alert eyes and the small pointed, closely set ears give the Spitz his unique characteristic, cheeky appearance.
temperament:
The German Spitz is always attentive, lively and exceptionally devoted to his owner. He is very teachable and easy to train. His distrust to strangers and lack of hunting instinct make him the ideal watchdog for home and farm. He is neither timid nor aggressive. Indifference to weather, robustness and longevity are his most outstanding attributes.
