Q&A
answer · Japanese Spitz
Absolutely, I recommend them! They're super affectionate and alert. My American Eskimo has a way of making everyone feel special. Just keep in mind that they require mental stimulation, as they are quite intelligent and get bored easily.
answer · Japanese Spitz
I learned the hard way that American Eskimo Dogs can be very stubborn when it comes to training. Starting early is key, but consistency is crucial. They respond well to positive reinforcement, so treat rewards work wonders. It also helps to keep training sessions short and fun, as they can lose interest quickly.

Absolutely! Mine smiles so much that I sometimes joke he's practicing for a doggy beauty pageant. Their playful and affectionate nature makes them perfect companions. It always makes me smile too!
answer · Japanese Spitz
I think a Japanese Spitz is a fantastic choice. They are lively and love to play, which makes them great companions for active families. Just keep in mind they can be a bit vocal, so early training is key.
answer · Japanese Spitz
They’re usually very good with kids.
question · Japanese Spitz
What's one thing that surprised you about this breed?
answer · Japanese Spitz
I found it to be super helpful as well!
answer · Japanese Spitz
I can't forget the time my Eskie mistook my laundry basket for a playpen. He happily jumped in there and made himself at home!
answer · Japanese Spitz
My Japanese Spitz usually reacts with excitement when meeting new people. He barks a little at first, which is his way of saying 'Hello!' After that initial burst, he is all about getting cuddles and pets. It's interesting to see how his confidence varies depending on the person; he tends to gravitate towards those who show a calm demeanor. It's fun to see his personality shine through in these interactions.
question · Japanese Spitz
Would you choose an American Eskimo Dog again?
answer · Japanese Spitz
I love their fluffiness!
answer · Japanese Spitz
Same energy here. Ours acts like every small win deserves a parade. We have a running joke in the house that the dog thinks they run security, entertainment, and quality control. Still figuring it out like everyone else, Lucas.
question · Japanese Spitz
What's your Spitz's favorite game?
answer · Japanese Spitz
Yes, I let my Eskie sleep in bed with me. They are so snuggly and it keeps both of us warm during the night. Plus, sharing a bed strengthens our bond. I can't imagine my life without my Eskie beside me.
answer · Japanese Spitz
We get compliments nearly every walk.
answer · Japanese Spitz
Yes, I recommend them for first-time owners.

Keeping my American Eskimo Dog calm during storms has been tough.
answer · Japanese Spitz
Absolutely, my American Eskimo Dog, Daisy, adores meeting new people. She wags her tail enthusiastically and barks in her cute little way whenever she sees someone. It's like she thinks every stranger is a potential friend!
