One of Europe’s most beloved and ancient breeds of dog, the German Spitz is perfectly recognizable by American dog lovers, though its name seems mysterious. The German Spitz enjoys high regard as a companion dog in Europe, while in America its wide-spread acceptance has been eclipsed by popular spin-offs like the Pomeranian, Keeshond and American Eskimo Dog. The German Spitz possesses many unique characteristics that recommend the breed to dog lovers. Happy and light-hearted, the breed is an amiable companion dog, ranging in size from the Toy to the Giant, blessed with a hardy constitution, super-canine intelligence and a luxuriant coat that comes in dozens of color patterns. Author Juliette Cunliffe offers an engaging view of the history of this remarkable dog, as well as the breed’s characteristics and breed standard. This Special Rare-Breed Edition proves to be a complete guide to the selection of a puppy, the rearing and training of the German Spitz plus an excellent up-to-date look at canine healthcare, written by world-renown author and veterinarian Lowell Ackerman. All of the basics of proper care and maintenance are discussed, including feeding the German Spitz throughout his life, grooming, exercise and more. Important information is highlighted throughout the text, making this guide useful and handy for owners and also enjoyable for readers.
