Sabine Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hi Solitaire, first off, welcome to the board :) I hope you have fun reading and posting. Let me list the Spitzes that come to my mind: Finnish Spitz, Norwegian Elkhound, Shiba Inu, American Eskimodog, Keeshond, Pomeranian, Schipperke (I'm not so sure about this one. :oops:) I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones that I came up with, without the use of Google. :lol: Now here's a link which explains different [url=http://www.doginfomat.com/5-4_5spitz.htm]Spitz Breeds[/url] <--- Put that word in your google search bar and you'd be surprised. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
