Japanese Spitz

The Japanese Spitz was developed in Japan in the 1920s and 1930s from several small white Spitz-type breeds. Bred originally as companions, the dogs are friendly and can be taken in a family with kids. They are quite tolerant towards other pets, but playful temperament sometimes may lead to chasing smaller animals. They have soft plushy white skin, double-coated, and have rather a fox-face appearance, which only adds to the charm.
