Japanese Spitz: White Dog of the East

FROM the land of the Pokémon comes the Japanese Spitz, one of Japan's most popular breeds of dogs. There should be a Pokémon fashioned after its image, but even without one this white dog definitely has the looks to charm anyone.

“Japanese Spitz dogs look very attractive with their beautiful white coat. We really love their appearance, their long and bright coat, pointed ears and black eyes,” said Levis Aranas-Carza, owner of three Japanese Spitzes named Cassie, Chloe and Snowie Jr.
​
Levis is one of the pioneers of the Japanese Spitz Club Philippines and she is also among the 15 administrators of the group's Facebook page. Formed in May 2010, the group currently has close to 8,000 members in Facebook who are Japanese Spitz lovers and breed enthusiasts.

​In the near future, it is the Japanese Spitz Club Philippines' goal to have a registration of this wonderful breed with the Philippine Canine Club, Inc. so they could have an official way of tracking the number of Japanese Spitz dogs in the country.
