Active and alert, the German Spitz Klein is a happy, confident little dog with an even temper and should show no signs of aggression or nervousness. They adore human company and love to be included in any family activity. They do not enjoy being left alone and do not make a good companion for people who will regularly leave them.
Whilst small, they are intelligent and should be kept entertained and content with training and exercise. A bored German Spitz Klein is liable to be a very noisy and irritable house-mate!
