How much does the germ spitz weigh? He looks a lot like our long haired Chihuahua. I call him a Mexican German Shepherd. If his size matched his attitude we’d have to put him down. Lol.
She was sold to us as a minitature American Eskimo (aka spitz, which matches her personality better) that wasn't supposed to get over 9 pounds. I think she is about 16 pounds, so much for being a mini. Her fur makes her look about twice her size. Her favorite past time is barking, barking, and oh yeah - more barking. She has even barked at mushrooms growing in the backyard before... They say spitz make excellent guard dogs, which they do. The only problem is trying to figure out when to take her barking seriously (i.e. is it an ax murderer or a mushroom).
She isn't just all bark though, she means business and is not afraid of much. We have to watch her when we take her for walks more than the cane corso. People always want to come up and pet the cute furry puppy, she lures them in looking adorable until they are within striking distances then goes for them. The cane corso on the other hand is ugly enough common sense tells most people not to try to pet him
The spitz are an interesting breed, but I will never own another one of them. Too loud.
I would be afraid to own a chihuahua out here. We get too many Hawks in the wintertime.
