By researching to get my own puppy I came across the most horrible thing I saw in my life. The puppy mills! What are puppy mills you may wonder.. It's a factory of producing puppies, under the worst conditions, with hundred of dogs in a small area, hundred of puppies in small boxes and the worst is that they dont care to breed dogs from the same mother. This conditions and methods produce unhappy puppies, sick, with genetic and cleronomical problems.
If you are thinking about buying a
spitz dog, research a lot to find a good breeder, visit him and check his place, ask other people who bought from him and use your heart to decide if he is a real good breeder who love his dogs or someone who just seek the easy money!
The Pomeranian (often known as a Pom) is a breed of dog of the Spitz type, named for the Pomerania region in Central Europe (today part of eastern Germany and northern Poland) and classed as a toy dog breed because of its small size. As determined by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale the Pomeranian is part of the German Spitz breed, and in many countries, they are known as the Zwergspitz (Dwarf Spitz), or Toy German Spitz.
The German Spitz Mittel is the third largest of the 5 varieties of the German Spitz and is very similar in looks to the other sizes of German Spitz. It is usually bred in solid colors but parti-colors are acceptable.
The German Spitz Klein is a breed of dog of the German Spitz type. They are usually classed as a toy or utility breed.
The
Keeshond (pronounced /ˈkeɪzhɒnd/ or KAYZ-hond; plural: Keeshonden) is a medium-sized dog with a plush two-layer coat of silver and black fur with a 'ruff' and a curled tail, originating in Germany. Its closest relatives are the other German spitzes such as the Pomeranian. Originally called the German Spitz, more specifically the Wolfsspitz, the name was officially changed to Keeshond in England, where it had been known as the Dutch Barge Dog, in 1926.
The
Japanese Spitz (日本スピッツ, Nihon Supittsu?) is a small breed of dog of the Spitz type, developed in Japan. The Japanese Spitz is a companion dog and pet.
German Spitz is used to refer to both a
breed of dog and
category or type of dog. Several modern breeds have been developed from the German Spitz, and are either registered as separate breeds or as varieties of German Spitz. All the German Spitz type dogs are dogs of the Spitz type of German origin. The
Grossespitz,
Mittelspitz, and
Kleinspitz breeds of German Spitz type are also called the German Spitz in English.
