A German Spitz Puppy typically lives 13–15 years. Most of what determines whether it gets there is routine care rather than anything dramatic.
A breed from Germany, living in India
The German Spitz Puppy was developed in Germany. The part that travels badly is rarely temperament - it is the coat and the tolerance for heat. Plan the year around that and most of the rest follows.
The annual check
Once a year for an adult dog, and book it before the hot months rather than during them.
What to watch for in a small dog
For this size class: kneecaps and dental crowding. None is a reason not to own the breed; all are cheaper to manage early.
Keep the records
Booster schedules run from the original dates, and a new vet asks for the history first.
Vaccination and deworming
The core course starts around six weeks, rabies follows, then annual boosters. Deworming runs fortnightly to twelve weeks, monthly to six months, then quarterly.
What “lively” means day to day
The German Spitz Puppy is described as lively, alert, affectionate. Of those, lively is the one that shapes an ordinary day most. It is easy to read as a selling point and harder to live with than the word suggests, because it does not switch off when you are busy.
Balancing lively against alert
Breeds described as both lively and alert need the two managed together rather than separately. With a small dog that usually means a predictable routine first and training second - the routine is what makes the training stick.
