By the way, medium-sized, white, Isabella, less often brown, black or piebald.
A courageous, lively and alert, but biting, suspicious dog, which also steals meat products and the like from its master, although it is otherwise happy and affectionate. Widespread over the temperate regions in greater and lesser variation, the latter is preferably called Spitz or Fir: bassa.
The Longhaired Spitz: pomeranus villosus. (Sibiricus GMELIN.)
French. le oh pomerien de Siberie
English the Siberian Wolf Dog
Medium sized, distinguished from previous by long hanging hair and probably a bred variety of Pomeranian and Bolognese. Pallas refutes Gmelin's claim that this dog is native to Siberia. Natural of the previous one, sticky and grumpy like Bolognese.
The English Spitz is the smallest form of this variety, with long, fine white hair and excellent hip bones.
