One of the most common shades of wool Spitz is sable. This color combines two colors: at the roots the fur is light, and the tips of the hairs are dark. The intensity of shades is uneven.

The color of the dog's body is several tones lighter than the muzzle and ears. The end of the tail is darker than the base. The lightest areas of wool are concentrated on the shoulders and pet's mane, even minimal deviations from the standard of color are considered a marriage.

It is worth noting that the sable color changes as the animal matures. This feature is associated with the presence of puppy fluff. For this reason, most babies have gray fur. The main color appears only after three months of a dog's life.In the period of maturation, the sable color gradually loses its pigment and acquires a uniform fur color: orange, cream or gray.

In addition to sable, Pomeranian Spitz can have a different color.

• White. Currently, it is very difficult to find a completely snow-white spitz - most often puppies have cream-colored wool. Choosing a white-colored Spitz, you should pay attention to its pedigree. If distant relatives have a different shade of fur or dark blotches, then, most likely, after a molt, a white puppy will look like them.

• The black. This color looks very impressive. The spitz with black fur has a similar undercoat. However, puppies are born with brown hair, but after the first molt it becomes black. Spitz-dogs of this color look like little dark “balls” and resemble bear cubs.

• Blue. Such colors are quite rare, so buying a puppy will be expensive. Blue color is a different shades of gray. Also found marble color, which is very suitable for exhibition activities. Charming spitz-dogs with original colors of wool attract the attention of others and are a real gift for fastidious dog breeders.
