About the Japanese Spitz

The Japanese Spitz (日本スピッツ, Nihon Supittsu; Japanese pronunciation: [nʲippoɴ.sɯ̥ᵝpʲittsɯᵝ]) is a Japanese small to medium breed of dog of the Spitz type. There are varying standards around the world as to the ideal size of the breed, but they are always larger than their smaller cousins, the Pomeranian. They were developed in Japan in the 1920s and 1930s by breeding a number of other Spitz type dog breeds together, and are also one of the smallest native breeds, along with the Shiba Inu, Japanese Chin, and Japanese Terrier. They are recognized by the vast majority of the major kennel clubs, and while they are a relatively new breed, they are becoming widely popular due to their favorable temperament and other features.
