The German Spitz comes in three sizes: toy, medium, and large. These compact, square-bodied dogs boast a foxy face, prick ears, and a signature curled tail over their back. Their most striking feature is a luxurious double coat, forming a mane-like ruff around the neck and a bushy tail.
Alert and vocal, German Spitzes make excellent watchdogs. Though intelligent and trainable, they possess an independent streak. With proper socialization, they're adaptable companions, happily interacting with people and other dogs. Their captivating appearance, combined with a lively personality, makes the German Spitz a delightful breed for those seeking a companion.
