Quick breed overview

German Spitzes require thorough training since they have an independent nature that, if not reined in, can lead to wilfulness. When settled in the family, these joyful and loving dogs make ideal companions for people of all kinds. To keep the enormously thick coat from becoming matted, comprehensive and frequent grooming is necessary.
