Do Japanese Spitz dogs shed a lot of hair?

Japanese Spitz dogs are known for their double coat, which means they do shed, but not excessively compared to other breeds.

Here's a breakdown:

* Shedding: They have a dense undercoat and a longer, topcoat. They do shed seasonally, especially in spring and fall, when they're shedding their winter coats.

* Amount: While they do shed, it's not considered "heavy" shedding. Regular brushing will help manage shedding and keep their coat healthy.

* Factors affecting shedding: Age, diet, health, and grooming all influence how much a Japanese Spitz sheds.

Overall: While not hypoallergenic, Japanese Spitz dogs are considered moderate shedders. If you're sensitive to pet hair, it's important to factor this into your decision.
