Versorging
Temperament
Bright, playful and devoted, it bonds closely with its people and enjoys being involved. It is watchful with strangers at first but rarely shy.
Oefening
Daily walks and play totalling 30 to 60 minutes suit most adults; many enjoy agility, trick training or obedience.
Versorging
The stand-off white coat needs brushing a few times a week and more often during the moult. It should not be clipped.
Opleiding
Eager and quick to learn, it does well with positive, consistent training. Teach a quiet cue early to keep alert barking in check.
Gesondheid
Patellar luxation is the most commonly reported problem, along with occasional eye conditions and tear staining. Ask the breeder for patella and eye results.

Oor die ras
The Japanese Spitz was developed in Japan from the 1920s onward, mainly from white German spitz-type dogs brought into the country. Breeders refined it into a small, elegant white companion, and it became very popular in post-war Japan before spreading to Europe and Australia.
It is a lively, affectionate housemate that adapts well to flats and family life as long as it gets company and regular walks. It is alert and will announce visitors, but it is usually friendly once introductions are done. The white coat sheds dirt surprisingly well, though it does moult heavily.
Het jy geweet?
The Japanese Spitz's coat has a texture that tends to let dried dirt brush out easily, helping it stay surprisingly white.
