The description of the dog of the Spitz breed allows you to know that this breed has four subspecies, such as the Pomeranian Pomeranian, large, medium and small, but that's not all, there are five more varieties, the Spitz is represented from the smallest to the tallest. Such meticulousness was shown by the gentlemen of the Germans, with their pedantry, dividing thirty centimeters of the body length of the Spitz, another five grades. These little dogs do not leave anyone indifferent, who meets them on the way. In the fifteenth century, in 1450 the first term "spitzhund" arose, concerning future dogs of the breed of Spitz. But the selection work by this breed itself began only in the eighteenth century.
Innovations of world standardization.
The family of German spitzers passed, quite a lot, a great evolution, as a result of which, significant transformations took place. As a result, according to the FCI classification - the international cynological federation, the large Spitz, formerly part of the second group of sports and dogfriends, was transferred to the fifth group, which unites all the breeds of the dog of the Spitz. In the same group are translated and small spitz, which belonged to the ninth group. What can this innovation mean? To explain such a classification, it is possible only in the following way that these fox-like dogs, united at the present time, with the following signs, such as erect ears, sharp nose, broad forehead, twisted tail and long hair, resemble one well-known predator , the wolf.
Dogs of the Spitz breed have a characteristic and external resemblance to the wolf breed. Strong development of the feeling of the pack is inherent both in the wolf's nature and in the dogs of the Spitz breed, who also, if possible, get into flocks, identifying one of the most powerful and dexterous dogs, to perform the role of the leader of the article. In this connection, it becomes clear that the dog breed of the Spitz type does not give way to training, unlike other dog breeds, which for the most part puts an end to the man's desire to subjugate this wayward little dog, believing that all dogs of the Spitz and without stressors are the very perfection.
Modern breeders, specializing in breeding dwarf, medium and small spitz, mainly breed decorative rock, with the presence of beautiful wool, easy and funny disposition. It should be noted that in this the producers have succeeded, not little, this is facilitated by market demand, namely, on the decorative spitz. Spitz of the Wolf and the Big breed, with a large growth, are trained in the role of guard dogs, which is facilitated by their restraint and calm.
The most popular species is the Spitz, a breed of Wolfspitz, whose growth reaches fifty centimeters at the withers, which is considered to be a large dog among the dog of the Spitz. Homeland of this wolf Spitz is Germany. Its name was due to the color of the wool.
Features of a canine character.

In specialized farms engaged in breeding dogs, the Spitz, cultivate the service or hunting direction. Therefore in this direction the private parity belongs to Germany. New proposals are being made regarding a different gradation of the Spitz breed, where the watchdogs will belong to different categories, but so far this has not happened and the existing standard is all dogs of the Spitz breed sole. The woolen covering of the spitz consists of two layers of wool. The first layer is a long, unjacketed hairline, the second layer consists of a short and very thick undercoat. In its quality it has similarity to the structure of cotton wool. The most popular subspecies are the Pomeranian and the Pygmy Pomeranian, deserve the universal recognition of famous dog clubs of the world scale.

They get up on their hind legs and walk, sometimes these tricks, no one taught them, because it is laid by nature itself. All the tricks created by these little dogs create themselves, for the joy of their masters. The most important thing is that these creatures possess, quite high intellect.
