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 Miniature Schnauzer
Compact, sturdy Miniature Schnauzers are bright, trainable, and people focused. Their wiry, low shedding coat needs regular grooming. Alert watchdogs with a terrier streak, they need daily exercise, mental stimulation, and clear training, and often live 12–15 years.
