What does the German Spitz look like?
The German Spitz has a distinctive look with a fluffy double coat, pointed ears, fox-like face, and curled tail. They closely resemble Pomeranians, especially the toy variety. However, Toy German Spitzes tend to be slightly larger and have a more elongated muzzle than Pomeranians.
The German Spitz can also be mistaken for Keeshonds, particularly the larger varieties since both breeds share a similar build and coat texture. Additionally, the American Eskimo Dog has a fluffy coat and overall appearance similar to the large variety, leading to some mix-ups, especially among people unfamiliar with the breeds.
