Japanese Spitz

Personality

This breed is known for its bold, lively, and intelligent nature. They are devoted to their families, often forming a strong bond with one person, and are alert watchdogs who will bark to announce visitors.

Exercise Needs

They have moderate energy needs satisfied by daily walks and active play sessions. They enjoy interactive games and can adapt well to apartment living if given regular mental and physical stimulation.

Grooming & Care

Their dense, double coat requires brushing 2-3 times per week to prevent mats and tangles, with more frequent brushing during seasonal shedding periods. They are generally clean dogs with little doggy odor.

Family Suitability

Health Considerations

Generally a healthy breed, but can be prone to patellar luxation (knee issues) and some eye conditions like progressive retinal atrophy. Regular vet check-ups are recommended.
