Question: German Spitz and Sinhala Hound are both what type of animal?
Context: The Indian Spitz is a spitz-type dog breed belonging to the Utility Dog group.  It is very similar to the German Spitz in appearance but is roughly 1.5-2.5 inches shorter at the withers and weighs around 10-15 lbs less. The Japanese Spitz (日本スピッツ , Nihon Supittsu ) is a small to medium breed of dog of the Spitz type.  The Japanese Spitz is a companion dog and 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.  They were developed in Japan in the 1920s and 1930s by breeding a number of other Spitz type dog breeds together.  They are recognized by the vast majority of the major kennel clubs, except the American Kennel Club due to it being similar appearance to the white Pomeranian dog, American Eskimo Dog and Samoyed Dog.  While they are a relatively new breed, they are becoming widely popular due to their favorable temperament and other features. The German Spitz Klein is a breed of dog of the German Spitz type.  They are usually classed as a toy or utility breed. The Pomeranian (often known as a Pom or Pom Pom) is a breed of dog of the Spitz type that is named for the Pomerania region in Germany and Poland in Central Europe.  Classed as a toy dog breed because of its small size, the Pomeranian is descended from the larger Spitz type dogs, specifically the German Spitz.  It has been determined by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale to be part of the German Spitz breed; and in many countries, they are known as the Zwergspitz ("Dwarf-Spitz"). The skeletal remains of dogs from Nilgala cave and from Bellanbandi Palassa, dating from the Mesolithic era, about 4500 BC, suggest that Balangoda Man may have kept domestic dogs for driving game.  The Sinhala Hound is similar in appearance to the Kadar Dog, the New Guinea singing dog and the Dingo.  It has been suggested that these could all derive from a common domestic stock. The Spitz and Primitive Types Group is a designation used only by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale for a group of dog breeds consisting of Spitz Type Dogs and Primitive Type Dogs. 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 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. The German Spitz Mittel is a breed of companion dog originating in Germany. The American Eskimo Dog is a breed of companion dog originating in Germany.  The American Eskimo is a member of the Spitz family.  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.
