spitz

The Spitz type is sometimes called "primitive" because it is close to the original body form of the domestic dog. Spitz is not a breed per say but the name encompasses many breeds with similar characteristics that are well suited for the harsh northern climate of the Artic regions.

They are characterized by an overall wolf like appearance with the modification of a tail carried tightly erect and curled over the back. Spitz often have an insulating, waterproof undercoat that is denser than the topcoat to trap warmth. Small ears help reduce the risk of frostbite, and thick fur that grows on the paws protects the dogs from sharp ice.{*}{*}

The following are some of the breeds that belong to the Spitz type. Please note that many of the different Spitz breeds have dogs with various colors.
