What is a Japanese Spitz?
The Japanese Spitz is a small-to-medium companion breed of roughly 5 to 9 kg, developed in Japan in the early 20th century from white spitz stock. It carries a pure-white double coat, a fox-like smiling face and a plumed tail, with a cheerful, devoted temperament and a lifespan of 12 to 16 years.
Curious Tails is an AVS licensed pet shop at 2 Balestier Road. We match by lifestyle first, and the Japanese Spitz is the answer to a very Singapore question: you love the Samoyed look, but you live in an HDB flat.

Japanese Spitz Temperament: The Cheerful All-Rounder
The Japanese Spitz was bred to be exactly one thing: an ideal family companion, and a century of selection shows. This is a cheerful, devoted, genuinely funny dog that adores its household, plays as long as the children can, and settles beside whoever sits down first. Owners describe the breed's grin as permanent, and they're not wrong.
The honest parts, from two years of matching puppies to families: there's a brief reserve with strangers, which good early socialisation turns into polite curiosity rather than suspicion, and there's a proper spitz voice: doorbells and corridor sounds get announced until you teach otherwise. Both are standard puppy homework, and the free first training lesson with an AVS-certified trainer covers exactly that.
If you're comparing cheerful family dogs, the Cockapoo is the low-shedding alternative; the Japanese Spitz wins on looks and sturdiness but sheds honestly.

Can a Japanese Spitz Be Left Alone During Work Hours?
Moderately well. This breed is devoted without being needy: with a real walk before you leave, a safe playpen, and a settled routine, most Japanese Spitz mature into calm weekday nappers. They save the celebration for your key in the door.
The two conditions: exercise actually has to happen, morning and evening, and the voice needs early training, because a bored spitz shares its opinions with the whole corridor. If your weekday can't fit the walks, the Shih Tzu asks far less of your mornings.
Good fit if
- Family that wants a playful, sturdy companion
- You'll walk twice daily, rain or shine
- You love the fluffy white look and accept shedding
Japanese Spitz Size, Coat and Lifespan
Honest numbers for the snow-fox of the HDB-approved list.
| Trait | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Adult weight | Roughly 5 to 9 kg; small-to-medium and sturdily built |
| Height | Around 30 to 38 cm at the shoulder |
| Coat | Pure white double coat with a mane-like ruff; no other colours exist in the breed |
| Lifespan | 12 to 16 years; a notably healthy, long-lived breed |
| Exercise | About 30 to 60 minutes a day, plus play; enjoys a proper outing |
| Shedding & allergies | Sheds year-round with seasonal coat blows; not the pick for allergy-sensitive homes |
The 5 to 9 kg range is the practical sweet spot: sturdy enough for children, small enough for any flat, and comfortably inside HDB's small-breed expectations. If you want the same white fluff in handbag size, that's the Pomeranian; low-shedding white instead, the Bichon Frise.
Japanese Spitz Price in Singapore: What You’ll Pay and What’s Included
How much is a Japanese Spitz in Singapore? As of October 2026, the published figures run $2,500 to $9,000 and several shops make you WhatsApp them to learn the number at all. Ours is $4,888 to $5,088, in writing, all-in.
Typical Singapore market
- Japanese Spitz listings range from about $3,000 to $9,000
- Price usually not published; enquiry required
- Availability often limited; waitlists common
- Starter supplies, training and delivery charged separately
Curious Tails
- $4,888 to $5,088, printed right here
- $500+ starter kit with 30+ items included
- Free home delivery with the playpen set up before you arrive
- Free first lesson with an AVS-certified trainer, plus free boarding after deposit
Why is our price printed? We don't carry the marketing spend the bigger names do, and we'd rather win on value and word of mouth. Compare the full picture on our transparent puppy pricing page, and plan the ongoing costs with the first-year puppy budget guide.
The $500+ Starter Kit Every Japanese Spitz Goes Home With
Every Japanese Spitz leaves us with a starter kit worth $500 and up: more than 30 items across eight categories, a playpen, a carrier, grooming tools, puppy food, outdoor gear, toilet training supplies, oral health care, and toys. For this breed the brush is the star of the kit; a good weekly routine with it decides how much white hair joins your laundry.
On delivery day, Nelson or Kim walks you through every item: how to use it, and how it fits into your Japanese Spitz's daily care. Most of the questions new owners would otherwise ask later are answered before we leave your home.
See the full 30+ item kit breakdown, category by category.

Is a Japanese Spitz Right for Your Lifestyle?
We ask about your routine before recommending any breed. Here's the honest short version for a Japanese Spitz.
| Your situation | Our honest take |
|---|---|
| Family with children wanting a playful, sturdy dog | Ideal. This is the breed's whole design brief, executed well |
| You love the Samoyed look but live in an HDB flat | Ideal. Same aesthetic, HDB-approved size, fraction of the coat burden |
| Working household that walks mornings and evenings | Good fit. Devoted without being needy, once the routine settles |
| Allergy-sensitive household | Reconsider. This coat sheds honestly; a Bichon Frise or Toy Poodle is the better pick |
| You want a silent dog | Reconsider. Spitz breeds announce; training moderates it but won't erase it |
Not sure the Japanese Spitz is your match?
We'd rather talk you out of the wrong breed than sell you the wrong dog. Message us your daily routine and we'll tell you straight.
Japanese Spitz vs Samoyed: The Question We Hear Weekly
Yes, they look like the same dog at two zoom levels, and no, they aren't interchangeable in Singapore. The Japanese Spitz is 5 to 9 kg, HDB-approved, and carries a coat that our climate merely inconveniences. The Samoyed is 16 to 30 kg, bred for Arctic sledging, not on the HDB-approved list, and its coat is a serious full-time commitment at one degree north of the equator.
We carry both, and we'll be blunt about the match: for HDB families the Japanese Spitz isn't the compromise, it's the correct answer. For private housing with real space, aircon and grooming budget, the Samoyed conversation is worth having properly.
Weighing the two? See our Samoyed puppies, or message us your routine and we'll tell you straight.
Quick comparison
- Japanese Spitz: 5 to 9 kg, HDB-approved, manageable coat
- Samoyed: 16 to 30 kg, private housing only, serious coat work
- Same price, same starter kit, same aftercare either way
Keeping a Japanese Spitz in an HDB flat
The Japanese Spitz is named on the HDB-approved breed list, so you can keep one in an HDB flat. HDB allows one dog of an approved breed per flat, and the Japanese Spitz sits comfortably inside those rules. Every Japanese Spitz we place has its dog licensing completed at purchase, so the paperwork is handled for you.
Is a Japanese Spitz HDB-approved? Yes, by name on the list, which is precisely why we point Samoyed-lovers in flats to this breed. Just mind the one-dog-per-flat rule, and if you already have a dog, message us first so we can check your situation.
Read HDB's guidelines on keeping petsThe rules in brief
- The Japanese Spitz is named on the HDB-approved breed list
- One dog of an approved breed per HDB flat (AVS limits of ownership)
- Condo and landed homes: up to three dogs, subject to your estate's own pet rules

Grooming: The Self-Cleaning White Coat (Mostly)
Here's the breed's best-kept secret: that pure-white coat is far easier than it looks. The texture resists dirt the way a good raincoat resists water; mud dries, falls out, and the dog walks back in white. Baths stay occasional, every 4 to 6 weeks or so, because over-washing strips the coat's own protection.
The honest work is volume, not stains: brush 2 to 3 times a week down to the skin, daily during seasonal coat blows, and make peace with white hair on dark clothing. As with all double-coated breeds, never shave it; the coat insulates against our heat as well as cold, and shaving damages how it grows back. A tidy trim is fine; the clippers are not.

Japanese Spitz Health: What We Check Before You Take One Home
Every Japanese Spitz goes home vet-checked, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. Health-wise this breed is one of the best stories we get to tell: it is famously robust, with few inherited problems. The points worth knowing are patellar luxation, the kneecap issue shared across small breeds, and runny eyes in some individuals, where daily wipes keep tear staining off the white face; the wipes are in your starter kit.
Feeding is simple: your puppy comes with the food it is already eating, and any change should be gradual over a week. For portioning guidance see the puppy health checks explained guide.

Your Japanese Spitz’s First Week at Home
Day 0: we deliver, free, at a time that suits you, usually morning or evening. The playpen, bed, water, and toys are set up before your Japanese Spitz explores the room, and we walk you through all 30+ starter-kit items in person. Learn more about how our free home delivery and setup works.
Days 1 to 3: keep it calm and predictable. A fixed feeding routine, the toilet pads where we placed them, and short, gentle play. Some night whimpering is normal adjustment.
Days 4 to 7: the routine sticks, and the grin becomes permanent. Book your free first lesson with an AVS-certified trainer this week; early work on the spitz voice pays off for a decade. See what the free AVS-certified training lesson covers. For anything in between, you WhatsApp us.

Japanese Spitz FAQs
How much does a Japanese Spitz cost in Singapore?
A Japanese Spitz in Singapore costs $4,888 to $5,088 at Curious Tails, all-in. We will not pretend that is the cheapest number available: checked in October 2026, the shops and guides ranking for this search publish ranges from $2,500 to $5,800 and $3,000 to $9,000, and one lists an Australia import at $3,980. What makes ours comparable rather than expensive is what sits inside it - the $500+ starter kit, free home delivery and setup, and a free first training lesson with an AVS-certified trainer, all of which are charged separately or not offered elsewhere.
What is the Japanese Spitz price in Singapore right now?
As of October 2026, a Japanese Spitz puppy at Curious Tails is $4,888 to $5,088. That is the full price and it does not grow at collection: kit, delivery, setup, first training lesson and boarding after deposit are all included. We update this number on the page when it changes instead of asking you to message us for it.
Why is a cheaper Japanese Spitz not automatically the better buy?
Because the published low end is a purchase price, not a landed cost. A $2,500 to $3,000 Japanese Spitz is quoted before the starter supplies, the delivery, the licensing and the first training lesson, and those are real numbers you will pay to somebody. The other half of it is provenance: ask which AVS-licensed source the puppy came from and ask to see the licence number. Ours is AS24J00046 and it is printed on every page of this site. A price is only cheap if you know what it excludes.
Is a Japanese Spitz HDB-approved?
Yes. The Japanese Spitz is named on the HDB-approved breed list, so you can keep one in an HDB flat. HDB allows one dog of an approved breed per flat, and we complete the dog licensing for you at purchase, so the paperwork is handled.
Is a Japanese Spitz just a small Samoyed?
They are different breeds, though the resemblance is real and the Japanese Spitz was developed partly from white spitz stock. The practical differences matter in Singapore: the Japanese Spitz is 5 to 9 kg and HDB-approved; the Samoyed is 16 to 30 kg, carries far more coat for our climate, and is not on the HDB list. If you love the look and live in a flat, this is the breed the rules point you to.
Can a Japanese Spitz be left alone while we are at work?
Moderately well. Japanese Spitz are devoted family dogs but carry a sensible, self-possessed streak, and with a safe playpen, a proper morning walk, and a settled routine, most handle a working household. They are alert watchdogs by nature, so early training on the voice keeps corridor announcements within HDB-friendly limits.
Does the white coat stay white in Singapore? Is it hard to keep clean?
Easier than it looks, genuinely. The Japanese Spitz coat has a texture that dirt struggles to cling to; mud dries and brushes out, and the breed keeps itself surprisingly clean, more like a cat than you'd expect. The real work is shedding: brush 2 to 3 times a week, more during coat blows, and accept white hair as a household seasoning.
Are Japanese Spitz good with children?
One of the best small-to-medium family breeds, yes. At 5 to 9 kg it is sturdy enough for family play, and the breed temperament is cheerful, patient and devoted. As with any puppy, supervise young children and teach gentle handling from day one.
Why does my Japanese Spitz get brown tear stains, and how do I manage them?
It is the trade-off of a bright white face: tears oxidise on pale fur and leave reddish-brown marks under the eyes, and Singapore's humidity makes the damp linger. It is cosmetic, not usually medical. A daily wipe under the eyes with a damp cloth, keeping the hair around the eyes trimmed, and fresh water in a clean bowl keep most of it in check. We show you the routine on delivery day so the coat looks as good as the breed should.
What happens after I reserve a Japanese Spitz?
You place a deposit, and we board your puppy for free, food and lodging covered, until you're ready. Delivery is scheduled around your availability, and we set up the playpen and walk you through all 30+ starter-kit items before we leave.
