This dog is descended from ancient spitzes that existed during the Stone Age, and it is the foundation breed of many modern spitz breeds. The German Spitz is used mainly as a companion and watch dog, and comes in a variety of colors. There are five sizes of German Spitz: Wolf spitz (wolf), Gross spitz (large)
Mittel spitz (middle), Klein spitz (small), and Zwerg spitz (dwarf).
Pure white spitz are now very rare to find.
