The German Klein Spitz, also called Victorian Pomeranian or Klein Spitz, descends from Nordic herding dogs intermingled with other breeds in Pomerania. This breed is a small compact long coated dog with representative Spitz type heads and curled tails over the back. Typically very healthy, they live to be 15+ years. Intelligent, agile, active, and alert, this breed does well in obedience competitions. These dogs enjoy walks or runs or a wander about in the garden.
