Buying a Japanese Spitz
Buying a Japanese Spitz is a big decision, and it is important to feel confident throughout the entire process. On Get a Pet, you can compare current listings from both breeders and private sellers, see price, age, and location, and contact sellers directly.
All listings show essential information about the dog, so you can easily decide whether it fits your lifestyle and circumstances.
Are Japanese Spitz good family dogs and how do they behave around children?
They are typically affectionate, playful and people focused, which makes them well suited to family life. Most enjoy playing with respectful children and like to be involved in daily activities. Early socialisation and teaching children to handle the dog gently are important to prevent overexcitement and nipping in play.
Do Japanese Spitz bark a lot and can their barking be controlled?
They are naturally alert and can be quite vocal, especially in apartments or busy neighborhoods. Barking can usually be managed with early training, clear routines and enough mental and physical exercise. Teaching a reliable “quiet” cue and avoiding reinforcing attention-seeking barking is essential.
How much grooming does a Japanese Spitz really need and do they shed heavily?
Despite the long white coat, maintenance is moderate rather than extreme. They shed seasonally, often heavily in spring and autumn, but the coat is relatively self-cleaning and does not tend to mat if brushed several times a week. Regular brushing and occasional baths are usually enough to keep the coat clean and reduce loose hair in the home.
Are Japanese Spitz suitable for apartments or do they need a large yard?
Their small to medium size and adaptable nature make them suitable for apartments as long as they get enough exercise and mental stimulation. Daily walks and active play are more important than access to a garden. Barking management and good sound insulation are helpful in close living quarters.
How much exercise does a Japanese Spitz need each day?
Most do well with around 45 to 90 minutes of physical activity spread throughout the day. This can include brisk walks, off-lead play in safe areas and short training games. They are active and agile but not typically endurance athletes, so a balanced routine is ideal.
What health problems are Japanese Spitz prone to?
Overall they are considered relatively robust, but some lines can be prone to patellar luxation, allergies and certain eye conditions. Responsible breeders screen for known issues and should be open about any problems in their lines. Regular veterinary checkups and weight control help reduce joint and skin problems.
Is a Japanese Spitz hypoallergenic and do they trigger allergies?
They are not considered hypoallergenic. The double coat produces dander and sheds seasonally, which can trigger symptoms in sensitive people. Regular grooming and good home cleaning can reduce but not eliminate allergens.
How well do Japanese Spitz tolerate hot and cold weather with their thick coat?
The dense double coat provides good insulation in cold climates and they usually enjoy cooler temperatures. In hot or humid weather they can overheat easily and need shade, fresh water and limited activity during the hottest hours. Clipping the coat is not recommended, as it can damage the fur and reduce its insulating properties.
Are Japanese Spitz easy to train for first-time dog owners?
They are generally intelligent, eager to please and learn quickly with kind, consistent methods. Short, varied training sessions and plenty of rewards work better than harsh corrections, which can make them anxious or stubborn. First-time owners who are willing to invest time in training and socialisation usually do well with this breed.
Can a Japanese Spitz be left alone during the workday or do they suffer from separation anxiety?
They form strong bonds with their owners and can become distressed if left alone for long periods without preparation. Some individuals are prone to separation-related barking or destructive behavior. Gradual alone-time training, mental enrichment and arranging midday breaks can help them cope better with a typical work schedule.
