the Japanese Spitz

The Japanese Spitz, called “Nihon Supittsu” in its country of origin, “Japanese Spitz” in Anglo-Saxon countries and “Lou-Lou Japonais” or “Spitz Japonais” in France, is included in the list of dog breeds officially recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) and is placed in Group 5 (Spitz and Primitive Type Dogs), Section V (Asian Spitz and Related Breeds).

The breed was also recognized over thirty years ago by the British Kennel Club and more recently in the U.S.A. by the American Rare Breed Association (A.R.B.A.), the United Kennel Club (U.K.C.) and the Continental Kennel Club (C.K.C.).

Finally, the procedures for recognition are also underway by the other important American dog association, the American Kennel Club (A.K.C.).

In Japan, the breed is recognized and protected not only by the Japan Kennel Club (JKC), but also by the independent Kennel Club of Japan (KCJ) and above all by the private breeders’ associations of the Nippon Spitz Association (NSA) and Nippon Spitz Club ( NSC).

Although it is therefore a widely known (and recognized) breed, it has undergone very few changes over the years, remaining practically unchanged.

To get to know it even better, we asked the breeding “ Della Renard Gris < / strong> “to tell us about it, to explain to us who this breed adapts to and why you should prefer it to others. The resulting interview is full of curiosities that will leave you happy.
