About

Known for its thick white coat, pointed ears, and lively personality, the Indian Spitz is often compared to the Pomeranian but is slightly larger and better adapted to Indian climatic conditions. This breed gained popularity in India during the 1980s and continues to be a favorite among pet parents. They are intelligent, active, and highly alert. They are known for their loyalty and strong bonding with their families. These dogs are playful and friendly, making them great companions for children and adults alike. They also make good watchdogs due to their alert nature and tendency to bark when they sense something unusual.
The Indian Spitz price in India usually ranges between ₹5,000 to ₹15,000 depending on the breeder, city, and quality. Monthly maintenance costs are relatively low, typically around ₹2,000 to ₹4,000 including food and basic care.
