Because of its beautiful coats, the German Spitz is enchanting when it comes to its appearance. German Spitzes have double coats. They have the overcoat which is straight and long and they also have the undercoat which is short and slightly softer to the touch. Particularly impressive is the thickness of the coat around the chest and neck that makes it almost look like a ruff.
The German Spitz can grow up to 15 inches, which is 38 centimetres and weigh up to 29 pounds, which is 13 kilograms. The German Spitz's life expectancy generally ranges anywhere from 13 to 15 years.
The average price for a German Spitz's puppy will be somewhere around 500 dollars. If you are looking for a specific look or a puppy with the highest quality and even show the quality you can budget anywhere between 700 and 100 dollars.

I live in an alpine area, rich in mountains and forests. I love hiking, and I always carried Lucky with me. German Spitz may look like apartment dog, but the reality is that they are a really strong and healty breed. Lucky was tireless and fast like a rocket along the paths. When we reached the top, he always sat down next to me, like a friend ready to share a toast while enjoying the scenery. Even now when I sit to rest I feel like he is next to me. He was amazing: smart, with good health and loving to the family. We had a very strong bond with him.

[@Jessica-vs6qx]

So I should get one

[@Jessica-vs6qx]

I already have a dog but I am looking to get a new one. The price is in my budget. I have a very big yard. I don’t mind brushing it except our whole family is away from about 9:00 until 5:00 so it would get lonely. The only other thing is brushing it’s teeth I don’t really want to have to do that but they very cute. Should I get one?

[@jenniferp1917]

Nicola, I agree, my mittel spitz is a sturdy little fellow, healthy and hardy and has the endurance to go on a long hike. A great loyal friend and so much fun! I don't know why this video says the Spitz don't have a hunting instinct, though. I guess because they aren't "hunting dogs" like hounds that flush out prey, and they aren't retrievers....but they are definitely vermin-killers! Jessica - first thing, find a *real* breeder and talk to them about your lifestyle and what you want in a dog and they can let you know if the dogs they are breeding will work for you and talk about how to care for them. (By "real" breeder, I mean not a backyard breeder or a puppy mill and definitely not a pet store. Find someone who actually shows their dogs at dog shows for starters; those are the people concerned with improving the breed and producing quality dogs. Good luck!)

[@rstlr73]

Yes , i agree dogs truly are mans best friend. It hurts like hell when they're gone.

[@nibertu]

@@rstlr73 They are part of the family, even after years it is painful not to find them behind the door waiting to celebrate your return home.

[@jvera828]

An ex owned a German Spitz. Very minimal training... sit, stay, play fetch. Regular walks. Dog park once a week. Chill ass dog. Only barked when people were at the door. Super low maintenance.

[@DogWorldHQ]

good to know thank you :)

[@3orM00Rrecharacters]

Great owner! My GS only gets dramatic when he hasn’t had enough exercise.

[@suzdeangelo2314]

We have 5. Not super chill & very high maintenance. They are typical spitz types. Whirling Dervishes

[@jenginsberg8827]

A lot of people in North America think they have a Pomeranian when really it's a Kleinspitz

[@dlh7443]

Same at Indonesia

[@ThankHeaven]

My dad bought me a Spitz as an early Christmas present as a child. Snowball was solid white and exactly as described in the video. It is worth mentioning that he was so protective that he would attack ANY stranger he deemed to be a threat to us. It took many off guard because he was adorable. Socialization is a MUST. He also barked at the drop of a pin. Definitely not suitable for an apartment. These cuties are fearless!

[@DogWorldHQ]

Thank you for those information! :)

[@lucidly8703]

When

[@3orM00Rrecharacters]

Have my spitz in an apartment , he’s only known apartment life. Yes he’s a guard dog but he’s not aggressive, only optimistically friendly! He is the noisy doorbell but he’s also well socialized and well trained. Any dog needs good training and good animal husbandry!

[@Ripndipity]

Mine is the complete opposite. She’s very social and outgoing to any new person she meets. And she rarely barks which is a plus since I live in a apartment

[@benimcanm351]

Mines is the same way! He’s a ginger brown and he’s so protective and can get loud around strangers. He’s been socialized and went to training school early on, but he’s still an aßßhole, lol. He’s such a spoiled diva and possessive. I often complain (quietly) that he’s ruining my life, but I’m lying (mostly). I’m lucky I live in a country where he can go into stores, restaurants, malls, and work with me.. hmm, maybe that’s why he’s spoiled? May your Snowball rest in peace :)

[@iole96792]

I adopted a senior German Spitz. At 12 years old he's still running around the dog park like a puppy and he is bossy as heck. Talk about stubborn, almost as stubborn as my Husky. But I love him very much he is very much a part of my family.🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@dgratt02]

My first ever dog. his name is BB and I wouldn't want it any other way. He is 5 this year in October and is the kindest, friendliest and cuddliest dog. He goes everywhere with me, push bike rides motorbike rides kayaking swimming. I even snuck him Into a movie theatre with me once. They are am awesome bread of dog. And my best friend.

[@elzarbiman9657]

hi everybody. I had one female spitz during 15 years . A lot of happiness and maybe the best moments in my life. A dog without any problem, very affective. No aggresivity and loving everybody ( cats too !!!) . My dog died 8 years ago but he will always live in my heart. If you give a good education to your dog you will never have any problem. The most important thing for your dog is to familiarize him to the world ( noise, animals, people etc... ) as soon as possible and very often. Concerning ' the maintenance ' you will be attentive to its food, his teeth . This dog is small that's why his bones are particularly exposed if you have young children. The advantage is that you can go with him wherever you want. Sometimes people accept small dogs in restaurants or Hotels.That's something important you have to know when you choose a small dog. It makes life easier. If you buy a bigger dog it may be more complicated with the society. Another important thing , this dog doesn't need to run 10 km/day. If you have a more dynamic dog that will not be the same ...

[@Scorpio.Iamher.]

I have a White one. His name is Winston. He is very attached to me and follows me everywhere I go. He barks constantantly at me when I return from somewhere where he couldn't go. He's very intelligent and learns quickly. He isn't very friendly to strangers or other dogs until he get familiar with them. Overall I love my Spitz. I can't imagine life without him.💕

[@That-No-Moon]

My Spitz-pom is such a good boy, even if he barks at everything that walks in front of my house.

[@susanrobinet9756]

My 15 yr old Spitz is still the funniest dog I've ever seen. The whole neighborhood loves this dog as well, totally recommend!

[@southernroots2229]

I got mine from the SPCA in Livingston Texas add $100 for him he had all his shots and he was neutered at first he wouldn’t even come to me for like two weeks after I brought him home. But by far one of the best dogs I’ve ever owned. so loving and Beautiful. PS not really good with strangers but has calm down since the four years of owning

[@Ajthedogfather]

i love this video ,and breed. I owned an American Eskimo Dog for many years and she was the best. I'm now looking for a smallest yet look alike breed and found the german spits and im sure glad I did. i want one of these amazing dog so bad. thank you so much for doing this video.

[@martinecorne2800]

My puppy is 3 months old her mum is a German Spitz and her dad a golden dox. Your video was very helpful thank you.

[@lolzlolz3529]

SO ADORABLE 😍

[@K0dAHeY]

Growing up, I had a German Spitz and she had a beautiful shiny orange coat. Unfortunately, German Spitz are a very rare breed in the United States since they aren't "offically" reconginzed for whatever reason. I remembered my dog absolutely adoring almost every kid she sees, she would jump and down whenever I was outside or I brought childhood friends over lol. Sometimes she was a little too "hyper" but she wasn't that crazy. One interesting thing about her was seeing her being strangely quiet and kind of shy whenever she sees a baby or newborn. My dog rarely ever saw anyone below the age of 5. One thing that I disagree with this video is when they describe German Spitz being "friendly" towards other pets. From most other sources that I've read, unless you have trained your dog at very young age it's not friendly towards other dogs/pets and this also includes children. Luckily, she was already used to kids because of me but I wish I'd trained her to get along with other dogs...I didn't know better at age 5 but she was a good dog nontheless. We had a very strong bond and I still miss her dearly..

I love my German Spitz. She has unfortunately a collapsed trachea four years ago. The doctor has prescribed half a tablet of Ezapril Co and at night a cough suppressant, Epicophellin and an anti histamine. I cook vegetables for her and a piece of chicken breasts to keep her thin though she is prone to gain weight. I love my little Shooshoo very much.

[@mikerussell4417]

I have a German Spitz his name is Festus and he's in between 16 and 18 years old not for sure was a rescue dog been the best little dog I've ever had big personality and everything they say in that video is Festus

[@donkeysnotraw3409]

Best dog ever could be a good ally to the first order

[@RijuJ14]

Ive had a German Spitz for about 2 years. She's a black one with a white patch on her chest. If she gets pissed off she grabs a slipper from somewhere and starts beating the person she's mad at. Trainability is a key factor to consider. If you slack off when she's a pup, she just won't let you train her when she's an adult. And my pup has the same issue mentioned in the video, the collapsing trachea, esp since she's a klien German Spitz.

[@charbelgeagea2394]

I love it 🥰

[@TheSlipknotWeeb]

Is it common for spitz's to bite toes ?, my parents got a puppy and we have to wear shoes in the house to stop her from biting them. She also hates the broom and starts barking when i try to sweep😆

[@moonlightcrystal123]

Any puppy will bite. It's something they will grow out of or you'll have to train them. Also, introduce many items to your puppy (the broom, the vaccum, loud pots/pans) etc. so once they grow up they're used to the noise or the item. Have fun with your pup!

[@shivanshgarg8216]

Is it hard to train

[@DogWorldHQ]

Not hard but you need consistency and endurance :) talking to other experienced dog owners or your breeder, they can definitely give you more tips and tricks

[@jenniferp1917]

www.unser-spitz.de/unsere_ziele.html "Der Deutsche Spitz Eine Rasse - Fünf VarietätenWolfsspitz, Grossspitz, Mittelspitz, Kleinspitz und Zwergspitz" One breed; five varieties - Wolfspitz (aka Keeshond); Standard; Medium; Small; Miniature/Dwarf (aka Pomeranian) Poms have some breed standards that are special to them, but they are basically dwarf spitz.

[@egostarter]

The German Spitz is not a Pomeranian Miniature Spitz, and they are also Pomeranian in the movie

[@jenginsberg8827]

A lot of people in America get sold 'Pomeranians' when really its a Kleinspitz and this is due to a cultural difference, people not being fully aware of the Kleinspitz existence and assuming that every small spitz= Pomeranian

[@IllHandleThis]

@@jenginsberg8827 I think this is what happened to me, although I was told my dog’s parents were AKC and shown pictures of them. I thought I was buying from a reputable breeder which has turned out to not be the case.

[@brookelynrhodes1998]

Same honestly. One of the dogs that I sometimes petsit is apparently a Pomeranian but here's the thing, she is bigger than a normal Pomeranian and is slightly heavy when I pick her up. I wonder if she is actually a German Spitz as well. True Pomeranians don't exceed 10 pounds and are on average 3-7 pounds. The spitz dogs do look a lot like each other, in some ways. The dog has to be at least 15 pounds, although she is probably 20 pounds, I don't know.

I was sold a Pomeranian puppy that I think may actually be a spitz. I really wanted another Pomeranian after losing my sweet little girl in January. I guess the only real way to find out is through a dna test? Regardless I accept her for whatever breed she is. I came here to try and get an idea, though, of what a spitz is and is like. I know that Poms descended from them. 😔♥️

Pomerainians are the smallest Kind of spitz. Therefore yes; your Pomerainian is a spitz

[@suzdeangelo2314]

We have white German Spitz. The females are more aggressive towards any other females. The males have normal male behavior, but, do socialize better with one another. The females are smarter & manipulative. Must watch their interactions with others. Both genders are loving with people. Not great parents with puppies. More about themselves. Just some thoughts & education for future adopters. They are an experience.
