Indian Spitzes are small dogs - around 33 cm (13 in) at the withers - with a soft chest, fair tail, and a milky white double coat.
Thick fur covers the outside of the ears and much of the inside as well, requiring extra attention when it comes to care and grooming.
Their coats are double layered, so proper grooming requires a double-row brush to reach the undercoat.
Being a dog with a double-layered coat, it is advised not to shave a matted Indian Spitz, as it can result in patchy hair growth.
They share a lot of physical characteristics because they are very closely related, being only a few hundred years apart in lineage.
A Pomeranian has rounded ears, a flatter face, weighs less (should not exceed 3–4 kg), and has a thicker coat.
