German Spitz

The German Spitz is a lively, devoted, and entertaining dog breed originating from Germany. Known for their distinctive foxy faces, upright pointed ears, and curled tails, these dogs are highly intelligent and independent. Their history as guardians and herders has instilled in them a strong prey drive and vocal nature, making them excellent watchdogs that will alert their owners to newcomers with high-pitched barks. German Spitzes are best suited to families with older children who understand how to treat them gently, and they generally get along well with other pets if socialized properly. Consistent, positive reinforcement training is key to managing their stubborn streak and making them well-adjusted companions.
