The Japanese Spitz breed, in its original language known as nihon supittsuhas its roots in the giant German spitz or Grossspitzthat arrived in Japan around 1920. This primitive European breed was presented in Japan at a dog show in 1921, generating great excitement.
Such was the enthusiasm that several people interested in the breed imported other pairs of giant spitz from Canada, the United States and Australia. As the years passed, the Grossspitz They were crossed with other dogs carefully selected to introduce ‘improvements’, which ended up resulting in a local breed. In 1948, after World War II, the Japanese Kennel Club He drafted a unified standard for the Japanese Spitz, which remains to this day.
Admitted by all international canine associations except, surprisingly, by the American Kennel Club (AKC)because it is too similar to the Pomeranian, or dwarf German spitz, and to the eskimo dog or American Eskimo dog, an American dog breed little known in these latitudes.

Despite showing abundant fur, we insist that they have been selected for close coexistence indoors, which is why they do not tolerate the cold well. Thanks to the thickness and texture of the fur, on the other hand, hygiene is easy.since dirt comes off easily with brushing, but due to their thickness and double coat, these brushings must be regular, preferably once or twice a week to keep them in perfect condition.
