The Japanese Spitz has been recognized as a breed for more than 40 years, but it did not reach the West until the beginning of the 70s and the first European areas to accept the breed was Scandinavian countries and Great Britian. Until 1985 it remained unknown and ignored by most people, such as France, Germany, Italy and Austria. Later the Japanese Spitz spread rapidly, despite the relatively few specimens, and gained more and more followers as soon as its excellent qualities were discovered and appreciated.
The Japanese Spitz has been a real discovery, actually, because its handsome appearance like that of a small-sized snow white arctic dog is complemented by some very particular temperamental characteristics. (it is often improperly called “mini – Samoyed”)
In fact, this dog is endowed with a marked sense of property and territory, as well as a strong personality lacking in submissive-ness, and is naturally inclined to assume the role of a true protagonist in the family right from puppyhood. Its behaviour towards man reflects a sense of mutual friendship rather than instinctive submission. This has created new situations of co-habitation even for long-experienced fanciers. And it is a common occurrence that people who have had a Japanese Spitz as a pet are no longer able to find satisfaction with any other breed.
