Temperamento
Japanese Spitz dogs are known for their friendly and sociable personality, making them excellent family pets. They are intelligent and eager to please, which makes training enjoyable and effective.

Consideraciones de Salud
The Japanese Spitz is generally a healthy and hardy breed with a lifespan of 12 to 16 years. However, like all breeds, they may be predisposed to certain health conditions. Common issues include patellar luxation, which affects the kneecap, and allergies that may cause skin irritations or sensitivities. Regular grooming and a balanced diet can help reduce allergic reactions. Dental health is another area to monitor, as small to medium-sized breeds can be prone to periodontal disease. Annual veterinary check-ups, including screenings for joint issues and eye health, are recommended to ensure early detection of potential concerns. Vaccinations, parasite prevention, and maintaining a healthy weight are essential components of their care. Exercise and mental stimulation contribute greatly to their overall well-being.
