Summary
About Danish Spitz
Medium, agile Nordic companion from Denmark with a foxlike face and curled tail. Cheerful, people‑oriented and alert, it barks to announce visitors. Dense double coat in white to cream shades needs regular brushing. Active and intelligent, it excels with gentle training and daily exercise.
About American Foxhound
A friendly, long-legged hunting dog from the USA with an athletic build, a gentle expression, and long, floppy ears. Bred to follow scent trails with great stamina, the American Foxhound combines affection for its family with a strong hunting instinct and an independent streak. It needs plenty of exercise, scent work, and patient training, while its dense coat is easy to care for. Its far-carrying bark and howl also call for consideration for neighbors.
