Simple owners of cute Spitz dogs and even breeders are at a loss to say exactly what color their puppy will be when they grow up. After all, an important role is played by the blood of ancestors. And during growth and change, the wool may blossom, acquiring other shades that could spoil the exhibition career of the animal.
And what does the term "white color" mean? It is meant that the color of the coat should be pure white, without any other shades and scorpions. If the parent is one and the other is a white spitz, the puppies are born only white. These they will remain even after the change of wool to an adult. But if the ancestors were colored, then there is a very high probability that the puppies with age will acquire a different color, becoming cream or white with creamy spots of shade.
As for the spitz bicolour color, for example, if you have a rare black and white pomeranian, then the white color should predominate in the coat - 50%.
Among Spitz, the following species are distinguished: German, Pomeranian, which some still consider to be a German petty species, a Japanese, Pomeranian bear-type spitz. And, of course, all of them sometimes have white wool.
White German Spitz
To say that white is a feature of the German spitz is absolutely impossible. But it is worth noting that this type of Spitz also concerns the rule of ideally white wool. Often there is even a slight "bloom" of a yellowish hue in the area of the ears.
White Pomeranian Spitz
As for the coloring of the Pomeranian Spitz , all the requirements that are imposed on his larger brother are also relevant to this baby. It can even be christened "a small white spitz" to somehow separate from a large relative.
White Pomeranian Pomeranian Bear Pomeranian
What distinguishes the bear cub in a separate group? Rather, his face. She is more round and flat. Eyes are planted a little closer to each other. The nose is up higher. And the rest is made by thick double wool. If you cut it, you really get a little bear.
Returning to the subject of white color, it must be said that in the case of a barking bear, the standards and requirements proposed for other species of Spitz are observed.
Japanese white spitz
About this variety is worth talking about in more detail. It is said that the Japanese came from a German spitz, which hit Japan in the 1920s. the last century from Siberia and the northeastern region of China. Later, Spitz was imported from the US, Canada and Australia. In order to improve the breed, the offspring of these dogs was crossed.
Already in 1948 the standard of the received breed was presented.
What are the characteristics of the Japanese spitz? The main feature of this species is color. He's only dazzling white! White Pomeranian puppies do not change the purity of color with age. And the contour of the lips and eyes is outlined by a bright stroke. The color of the eyes is distinguished by a dark spot.
The wool of a Japanese spitz is easier to clean than one might imagine. She does not smell and does not need a haircut. A peculiar structure prevents it from falling down and forming coils. Dirt to the wool practically does not stick and is not absorbed.
Asian Spitz are very clean and have a habit of licking like cats. They should be bathed once a month and combed once a week.
The Japanese were nicknamed the silent Asian Spitz. And all because they voice only when absolutely necessary. These Spitz are smart and easy to contact, so they make a great four-legged companion.
