Differences Between The Pomeranian and Indian Spitz in India
In India many mistakenly refer to the Indian Spitz as Pomeranian. This is a mistake. The differences include:
- The Pomeranian is a Toy Breed. It is much lighter than even a Lesser Indian Spitz, both in height and weight (it typically weighs less than 10 pounds and is rarely over 12 inches in height).
- The Pomeranian has a much flatter face than that of an Indian Spitz, which has a more conical snout.
- The coat of a Pomeranian is generally denser and much thicker. It is difficult to see individual hairs. However, an Indian Spitz's coat is much less dense and it is easier to see the individual hair follicles.
- The Pomeranian's ears are generally not as pointed as that of an Indian Spitz.

Famous quotes containing the words differences, indian and/or india:
“Toddlerhood resembles adolescence because of the rapidity of physical growth and because of the impulse to break loose of parental boundaries. At both ages, the struggle for independence exists hand in hand with the often hidden wish to be contained and protected while striving to move forward in the world. How parents and toddlers negotiate their differences sets the stage for their ability to remain partners during childhood and through the rebellions of the teenage years.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“The next forenoon we went to Oldtown.... The Indian is said to cultivate the vices rather than the virtues of the white man. Yet this village was cleaner than I expected, far cleaner than such Irish villages as I have seen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“India has 2,000,000 gods, and worships them all. In religion other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire.”
