Japanese Spitz Names

The Japanese Spitz is a small family companion with the heart of a large watchdog. This breed may look similar to American Eskimo Dogs, white Pomeranians, or small Samoyeds, but Japanese Spitz dogs have their own lineages and hail from, as you might guess, Japan. Although this breed is not recognized by the American Kennel Club, it is accepted by many other kennel clubs around the world.
