Breed InformationThe German Spitz belongs to the Spitz group, which is one of the most ancient dog breeds. Spitz means sharp or pointed and the breed characteristics are in line with that…erect ears, pointed muzzle and alert expression. The German Spitz comes in five sizes, the Pom or Toy Spitz, the Keeshond or Wolf Spitz, the Grosse or Giant Spitz and the two sizes shown in Australia as German Spitz; the Mittel or medium spitz and the Klein or small spitz. The German Spitz is descended from its immediate ancestor, the TurfSpitz, a dog found in Germany, Central Europe and Scandinavia. The breed became popular in 18th century England in the courts of George 1. Many German visitors brought with them the forerunners of today’s German Spitz from Pomerania. These dogs were often known as Pomeranians, but a much bigger dog than today’s toy dogs. Queen Victoria was especially enchanted with these dogs and the breed enjoyed popularity as a court favourite. However she embarked upon a programme of miniaturization and the bigger dogs almost disappeared. The German Spitz was then largely known as the Victorian Pom. It was not until the 1970`s that interest was revived in the bigger Spitz in Britain and the first English club was formed in 1979. The German Spitz reached Australia in 1987.
