German Spitz

Detail Breeders Pictures Comments Books Other Resources  

  Description:
The German Spitz breeds descend directly from the profusely coated Nordic herding dogs, like the Samoyed or the Lapphund, that are so common in the North. They were probably brought to northern Germany and Holland by Viking plunderers and looters who plagued those areas during the Middle Ages. These dogs spread throughout Europe and even the British Isles, contributing to the development of the true herding and shepherd breeds, as well as being the progenitors of the Spitz.
