BREED
CHARACTERISTICS AND CARE
This versatile dog makes an ideal domestic companion being brave,
calm,
intelligent and faithful – but they are not overly friendly
with strangers. Due
to their innate shepherding senses, they can be of great value
to farmers. Like
most members of the Spitz family, these dogs enjoy getting out
and about.The
coat only needs periodic brushing – but during a seasonal
coat drop, more
brushing is needed to ensure the undercoat does not knot and
matt.
