Any dog can bite, especially under certain circumstances, including fear, illness, unexpected movements, and provocation from strangers.

The Japanese spitz has a solid reputation for having a stable, friendly temperament and being a kind companion for children. However, this intelligent breed should not be allowed to "rule the roost." It requires an owner who is willing and able to take command, correcting the dog's behavior when necessary, keeping in mind that harsh, painful corrections are not helpful. These canines are also protective of their families and rather suspicious of strangers, so be sure to carefully introduce your dog to new people.

The breed was developed from the Samoyed and German Spitz, which are relatively nonaggressive dogs, but it is also related to Siberian huskies, malamutes and Chinese chow-chows, all of which can be problem biters. Train your spitz consistently using positive training methods to help ensure that she remains a well-balanced, submissive, and loving pet.
