The Keeshond ( ; plural: Keeshonden) is a medium-sized dog with a plush, two-layer coat of silver and black fur with a ruff and a curled tail.
 It originated in Germany, and its closest relatives are the German spitzes such as the Großspitz, Mittelspitz, and Kleinspitz or Pomeranian.
 Originally called the German Spitz, more specifically the Wolfspitz, the name was officially changed to Keeshond, in 1926 in England, where it had been known as the Dutch Barge Dog.
German Spitz is used to refer to both a breed of dog and category or type of dog.
 Several modern breeds have been developed from the German Spitz, and are either registered as separate breeds or as varieties of German Spitz.
 All the "German Spitz type" dogs are dogs of the Spitz type of German origin.
 The Großspitz, Mittelspitz, and Kleinspitz breeds of "German Spitz type" are also called the German Spitz in English.
The West Siberian Laika or "WSL", is a breed of hunting dog and a breed of spitz type.
 Russian publications indicate that the term West Siberian Laika loosely applied to hunting dogs originating with the Mansi and Khanty people in Ural and West Siberia, but there were no standards or registrations of WSL as such until 1930.
 Then WWll disrupted it for a while, but "systematic breeding with registrations" resumed after the war ended, in 1946.
 This was the time the breed began taking modern shape.
 Before that hunters only knew of Mansi Laika and Khanty Laika.
 In early 1960 many hunters in Ural still preferred the term Mansi Laika, when speaking of West Siberian Laika.
 In Russian language, the term Laika originated from the word "layat" that means to bark.
 The word Laika simply means "barker".
 Any hunting Laika is a bark pointer (pointing at animal of interest by barking and staying with the animal ).
 It is a versatile dog depending on use and environment, but in certain parts of the country they have become more specialized.

 The breed's progenitors were German Spitz, but due to anti-German prejudice during the First World War, it was renamed "American Eskimo Dog".
 Although modern American Eskimos have been exported as German Spitz Gross (or Mittel, depending on the dog's height), the breeds have diverged and the standards are significantly different.
 In addition to serving as a watchdog and companion, the American Eskimo Dog also achieved a high degree of popularity in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s as a circus performer.
