The German Spitz (Template:Langx) is a breed of spitz-type dogs from Germany. It is considered a single breed, with five distinct varieties based on size and colour: the Wolfsspitz/Keeshond, the Giant Spitz or Großspitz, the Medium Spitz or Mittelspitz, the Miniature Spitz or Kleinspitz and the Pomeranian or Zwergspitz ("Dwarf Spitz").
History
The earliest mentions of these spitz dogs in German literature date from AD 1450.[1]Template:R/superscript[3]Template:R/superscript[4]Template:R/superscript[5]Template:R/superscript In 1750, Count Eberhand zu Sayre Buffon wrote in his National history of quadrupeds that spitz dogs were the ancestor of all German breeds.[4]Template:R/superscript
German Spitz dogs were originally kept on farms for a number of roles including herding and guarding. As the centuries progressed some lines were bred to be smaller for other duties and eventually as small companion dogs.[3]Template:R/superscript[4]Template:R/superscript
