The Indian Spitz is a spitz-type dog breed belonging to the utility group. The Indian Spitz is a domestic dog and friendly pet. There are varying standards around the world as to the ideal size of the breed, but they are always larger than their smaller cousins, the Pomeranian. Shedding is a problem with Indian Spitz as their European heritage means they get rid of their winter coat all over your furniture. Their coats are double layered, so make sure you have a double-row brush so you can get to the thick undercoat.
