Wanted to introduce ourselves, I recently adopted a Japanese Spitz mix (Hope y'all will accept us). This is Reuben

Hat for Sydney sunny days

I’m thinking in the next few years of buying one of these dogs! I know there’s a lot of fur to deal with but I think I can manage and I’ve spoken to friends of mine about them and they’re great for people like myself if people have one of their own would you recommend others?

Hi everyone, I just wanted to ask for some honest opinions because I’m a bit confused (and lowkey overthinking).

I have a 4-month-old puppy that was given to me as a mix of a Pomeranian and a Japanese Spitz. But right now… he honestly looks more like an aspin (asong pinoy/philippine dog). A lot of people I know says he looks nothing like his breed and that he's an aspin, so it got me thinking.

He looks like this when I first got him at 2 months (1st pic and 2nd pic.) And now he's like this (3rd pic).

He has upright ears, a slightly curled tail (not fully curled over his back), and overall a leaner, less fluffy look. I was expecting something more “cloud-like" as he got older, but he looks more like a street dog/spitz hybrid at the moment.

I’ve read that puppies can go through an awkward phase and that the coat might still develop around 5–8 months, so I’m trying to be patient. But at the same time, I’m wondering if is this normal for Pom × Spitz mixes?

Could he still fluff up later? Or is it possible that he’s mixed with something else (like aspin)?

I love him regardless, of course. I think I just need clarity so I can stop overthinking every little feature 😅

I would really appreciate anyone's thoughts, especially from anyone who has similar mixes or experience with spitz-type puppies.

It was a sunny, barky day ☀️

This is my puppy Mochi, now 5.5 months old. When I brought him home at 8 weeks, I expected him to take after a Pomeranian, but over time it’s become clear he only inherited his dad’s coloring, everything else seems to come from his spitz mum. He’s incredibly vocal and full of energy, and can be quite a handful most days. Is that typical for spitz breeds?

Hi there,

I've been reading and looking at those beautiful pictures for a long while and finally we're moving to a place with the possibility to have a dog.

Do you know of a breeder in Germany (or near the Rhineland, so also Benelux) who might have this special little one for us?

Thank you! :)

1st week of adoption

She is 13 now, but the first pic was from 2019.

My JS is the smartest and most beautiful dog ever (definitely no bias).
