Spitz dogs are a very active breed of dogs. They need to play, run and spend a lot of time. Pet care is simple, but requires some attention.
Red color
This species of breed includes spitz as a bright saturated red, and more restrained color - light red. Puppies are usually born light shade, but then they can darken.
To find out the “final” color of your dog, you can look at the base of the outer surface of the ears - as a rule, the color there is more similar to the shade that an adult dog will have after shedding.
Red color and fluffy wool - branded business cards. When the phrase "Pomeranian Spitz" people imagine "fluffy sun", which is worn around the owner at the speed of light and makes him happy with a loud barking. But if you want exactly a red puppy, then check the pedigree.
The uniform color of the dog without impregnations is obtained only in the case when his ancestors on both sides had a uniform color.
Ginger spitz can be any size: from miniature to large. Most often puppies of red color are found in such subspecies as the Pomeranian, small spitz and pedtles.
Maintenance and care
Before bringing the puppy home, care must be taken to keep your pet safe. Remove as far as possible (or above) all small objects that a dog can swallow, everything that it can drop or break. So you protect the unformed psyche of a pet from unnecessary injuries and fright, and from stress. All chemicals (detergents, cosmetics, drugs, and so on) must be removed in separate boxes, leaving nothing in a prominent place, as a curious puppy can eat something very harmful. A garbage can, or rather waste, which the dog can get out of there, can cause indigestion or even poisoning, so it must also be removed from view.
Particularly dangerous place - a balcony. He can independently get there in search of adventures, and the unglazed space, especially on the upper floors, will create an extra risk to life.
Little spitz should have a lot of rest - do not wake the puppy until he sleeps and gains strength. Do not throw a puppy alone on high surfaces - it may fall and be damaged.
It is better to provide your pet with a place to rest. This may be a soft bed or a cozy house. Do not take the Spitz with you in bed. If you want to wean the adult dog from this habit, it will be extremely difficult to do.
Caring for a puppy does not take too much time, but it will have to regularly pay attention.
