OUR PUPPIES
SOCIALIZATION
The Japanese Spitz is a very social dog, and they love to be out and about. Everything is a fun and exciting adventure to this breed, from getting a coffee at Starbucks to going to the dog park, or something as simple as a walk to the front door to get the mail. These dogs can be very friendly and outgoing, but if not socialized or socialized incorrectly, they can be shy and timid. To avoid this, Japanese Spitz puppies should be introduced to many new people, places and things when they are young. For this reason, we start handling and socializing our puppies very early - right from their birth until they are ready to go to their Forever Homes.

PUPPIES FROM OUR PREVIOUS LITTERS:















"Finn"
"Mary made the process really easy for getting our first dog and was happy to answer any questions we had. She provide helpful information about crate training and playpens so we were well set up when we picked up our puppy; he was even partially toilet trained! He's become part of the family and we're really grateful to have him.

"Bolt"
"ToaToa White Lightning (Bolt) was bred by Mary Stuart. He has great bone, a magnificent coat and the sweetest nature and has passed these attributes onto the two litters of pups that he has sired for me so far. Updates from the new owners show how happy they are with their puppies' growth, temperament and appearance.

What is the personality of the Japanese Spitz?They are generally loyal, friendly, and playful. They are active, but not hyper. Although they may be reserved with strangers, they should be friendly and not shy.

How often do you have to groom them and what is involved?Japanese Spitz normally have very low maintenance coats - a weekly brushing is usually all that is involved. Bathing is not necessary, as the dog's coat naturally sheds dirt and mud. Unneutered females will shed their undercoat twice a year, extra brushing is all that's required. Neutered females and males shed their undercoat less often.
