Summary
About German Spitz – Giant
The German Spitz – Giant (Grossspitz) is a medium, square-built spitz with a thick double coat and proud, foxlike look. An alert, vocal watchdog, it’s active, intelligent and sensitive, bonding closely with its family. Needs regular brushing, early socialisation, kind 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.
