ARE GERMAN SPITZ GOOD WITH CHILDREN?
The GS was bred as a companion/watch dog, and as such, makes an excellent family dog. This does not mean the dog will put up with being treated cruelly by children. If your Spitz is part of a family with small children, teach your children that the dog must be respected and treated with kindness. Do not leave small children alone with ANY dog, as no toddler can be expected to realise the consequences of their actions until an avoidable accident has occurred. This statement relates to ALL breeds, not just to the Spitz breeds. Most spitz love children, but supervision is always recommended for small children. All our spitz are raised and live with the family here, and you should look for a puppy which has been socialised with children if purchasing a puppy for a family household.
