Temperament

The German Spitz is an energetic dog who loves to please the family and be the center of attention. They are high-energy, and would rather run around the yard or house than stay inside and cuddle. Since they are highly active, they love to play games that involve running and chasing toys.

These small pups can be wary of strangers and are vocal, so they might bark around people they don't know. They have a high pitch bark that sounds "yappy" to some. They are very intelligent but can also be stubborn. It takes a strong-willed trainer to make sure these pups are obedient and well trained. If you want a watchdog who will alert you to anyone who might approach your door, you can't do much better than the German Spitz.

The German Spitz also has a high prey drive. Although, they can be taught to curb their barking and chasing tendencies through early training.

They are well suited for households or families of any size and can live in an apartment or house, though they will need plenty of exercise and attention.
