Where Every Paw Feels at Home.
Also known as Small German Spitz
A fluffy little watchdog with a big voice
The Klein is the small size of the German Spitz, a farm and household watchdog for centuries. It is lively, clever and devoted, but quick to bark at every sound, so early training in calm behaviour and steady coat care are the main jobs.

This breed needs about 45 minutes of activity a day. Around 3 sitter-led sessions a week keeps that routine going when work or travel gets in the way.

Yes, they are bred as watchdogs and are among the more vocal small breeds. Training a quiet cue and avoiding reward for alarm barking helps a lot.
They fit small homes well because of their size, provided the barking is managed for neighbours and they get daily walks.
Brushing a few times a week keeps the thick coat tidy, with more during the seasonal shed. The coat is self-cleaning and rarely needs bathing.
