The Indian Spitz is often called 'Indian Pomeranian', though the two breeds are very different. The confusion arises from the fact that both breeds belong to the Spitz family, along with the Pomeranian, Elk-Hound, German Spitz, Samoyed Dogs, Finnish Spitz, and Japanese Spitz, among others. They are a breed that likes to keep themselves clean but they need regular brushing to keep their long coats in good condition. They need bathing everyday because they might get sick.
