German Spitz
A noticeably new breed in the United States, imported from Germany, England, and Australia, the German Spitz was first documented as a valiant defender of home and field in 1450. Many early individuals of the breed, considered a peasant’s canine in the early days, were discovered in the province of Pomerania, from which got the breed’s earlier name, the Pomeranian. The German Spitz became pretty famous with royalty in the 18th century. The breed is identified with five size types in Germany, but when the Toy and Wolfspitz were exported to different countries, they were considered separate breeds: the Pomeranian and the Keeshond. The German Spitz is regarded as one breed with size varieties in America: the Klein and the Mittel. The United Kennel Club has identified the German Spitz as a member of its Northern Group since 2006.
