Owners of city apartments when choosing a dog often pay attention to pets of small size. The most popular choice is a cream colored spitz-dog. These pets look extremely friendly and have a nice appearance, which is why they are often purchased as a gift to children. Due to its small size, such a dog can be easily taken with you and transported from place to place. In addition, a cream-colored dog will emphasize the secular status of its owners as well as possible and make their lives brighter.
Features of the breed and color
Pomeranian spitz was bred in Germany, and later improved by breeders in England. Its weight ranges from 3 to 5 kilograms, depending on age and genetic capabilities. Height - about 23-25 centimeters at the withers. In total, there are three main colors of Spitz - black, white and cream.
The latter is particularly popular among breeders for a number of reasons. Cream shades are very neutral, so the dog will not stand out among the general decor and will be pleasant to look, unlike representatives of the black color. The white spitzs look too unnatural, but because of the peculiarities of their wool, they are also rather easily soiled - that is why the owner has to constantly carry them on his hands outside the house.
The cream color is the most natural and does not require special attention from the owner during a frisky walk.
Because of the appearance of the spitz from the side look more like a toy than a real dog. They are characterized by a neat, slightly elongated fox muzzle, dark round eyes and thick undercoat. Especially often in dogs the fluffy collar and tail stand out.
Cream spitz are usually born very light, because their color is fully formed after the first molt. Sometimes the breeders themselves do not know whether the puppy will remain white, or later on an adult dog will acquire a cream color. Also, as a result of crossbreeding, the cream-colored dogs may differ in the light color of the eyes and nose, which gives them an even sweeter and more charming look.
Currently, it is difficult to find a dog of true delicate cream color. The most common are mixed spitzs, whose wool has a spill from a rich red to a smooth cream color. Also there are representatives with a gray overflow or splashes of black wool.
Besides the classic spitz, also It is recommended to pay attention to cream dogs of such types as bear and puppet. The first type is characterized by a shortened face, and the second - by an overly nice appearance, thanks to which the spitz is even more like a toy. The latter option is particularly relevant for the purchase of a gift for children.
Character
Despite the charm of such a small dog, in their hearts they are very brave and courageous creatures that need adventure. That is why breeders especially recommend them as a best friend to children. These dogs love to play.
In addition, the Pomeranian Spitz is unusual for aggression, even in the most enthusiastic game with its little master.
The owners characterize their puppies as noisy and restless - Dogs enjoy walking and exploring new places.. Thanks to these qualities, they will become excellent companions to active city dwellers who love to get out into the countryside and work in the fresh air.
Despite their small size, the spitz have a loud voice that they are not afraid to use in their daily life in a game with the owner or in his defense. This should be taken into account by those who live in an urban-type apartment with poor sound insulation. In order to temper the passionate nature of these little pets, it is necessary to understand their needs well and to be able to satisfy them on time - be it an exhausting game in the fresh air or a timely dinner.
Spitz dogs can differ in kindness only to their owner. Most of them are very suspicious of strangers, so despite their cute appearance, they can bite a person who wants to touch someone else's pet, thereby expressing their displeasure.
These dogs are believed to have a flexible mind., but, they are difficult to train because of their restless nature. They quickly get distracted by something more interesting.
Also, dogs of this breed have a high degree of loyalty. They are ready for anything for the sake of their master and are often sad when they are left alone for a long time.
Nickname selection
Features of breeding this breed are such that purebred dogs at birth get a passport with a ready-made nickname, which can have more than 30 letters in itself. This method allows in the future to track the pedigree of dogs. This nickname is “official” in nature and, as a rule, is not used by their owners in everyday life. After the purchase, the owners give their pet a new sonorous nickname.
How to name a girl
Spitz-girl cream color is particularly charming. That is why in the selection of nicknames for them, the owners prefer more affectionate and "sweet" names. Especially often it uses the names of famous women, for example, Chanel, Tiffany, Twiggy and others. They are also often named after fairytale princesses - Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, Rapunzel, etc.
Since dogs differ in their lively, moving temper, they are often given similar ringing nicknames - Chita, Zhulya, Totti, Barbie, Gabby.
Simpler names are also popular, for example, Princess, Snowball, Shumka, Puma, Pusha.
How to call a boy
Restless boys respond only to short and clear calls. Among the most popular are Patrick, Herzog, Caesar and Hector. Spitz-boys also often bear names and various goodies, for example, Cupcake, Latte, Donut or Chocolate.
And the owners, distinguished by humor, often give their pets grotesque names - Rambo, Robocop, Elvis, Confucius, and others.
The main thing when choosing a nickname is not only the desire of the owner, but also the willingness of the dog to respond to his new name. That is why its selection should take into account the reaction of your pet.
