Why cheap Japanese Spitz puppies are a red flag

Listings well below S$2,500 usually mean undocumented imports, no AVS licence behind the sale, or puppies moved on before they were ready to leave their litter. Ask any seller for their AVS licence number, the breeder's name and the puppy's health records before you place a deposit — we're happy for you to ask us exactly the same questions in person.

Deposits, payment and what happens next

A deposit reserves a specific Japanese Spitz puppy and is only taken after you've met the puppy or seen full video and paperwork. The balance is settled at collection in our showroom, where we walk you through the health records, feeding plan and the first week at home. Every puppy is covered by our 48-hour health guarantee so you can take a second-opinion vet visit with confidence.

HDB rules and housing

The Japanese Spitz sits within HDB's approved small-dog list, so you can keep one in an HDB flat, a condominium or a landed home. HDB allows one dog per approved flat, and your puppy must be licensed with AVS and microchipped — both of which we handle before your puppy leaves our showroom. Condo owners should still check their MCST by-laws for lift and common-area rules. Adults weigh about 5–10 kg and stand 30–38 cm tall, keeping them within HDB's approved small-breed guidance.

Space, exercise and daily routine

A Japanese Spitz is content with 30–45 minutes of daily walking plus lively indoor play — they're energetic in bursts rather than endurance dogs. Whatever the breed, walks in Singapore belong in the cooler hours — before roughly 9am and after 7pm — with water on hand and a quick pavement temperature check with the back of your hand. On rainy days, swap the walk for scent games, puzzle feeders or short training drills indoors.

Family, kids and other pets

Bright and affectionate, Japanese Spitz suit families with older children who understand gentle handling, and they usually get along with other dogs after a proper introduction. You're welcome to bring your children — and your current dog, with a diaper on — to meet our puppies at the showroom so you can see the dynamic for yourself before deciding.

Temperament, training and neighbours

Alert and quick to announce visitors, a Japanese Spitz needs early training on quiet cues so barking never becomes an issue with close HDB neighbours. Start crate training and toilet routines from day one, keep training sessions short and reward-based, and socialise your puppy with lifts, void decks and delivery trolleys early — in dense Singapore housing, a confident dog is a quiet dog.

Managing heat and humidity

Their standing double coat actually insulates against heat, so never shave it — instead keep walks cool, ensure good airflow indoors and rinse paws after outdoor time. Watch for heavy panting, brick-red gums, thick drool or wobbliness — the early signs of heat stress. Cool your dog with room-temperature water on the belly and paws, never ice water, and call your vet immediately.

Coat, skin and grooming

That cloud-white double coat is surprisingly self-cleaning: weekly brushing keeps it healthy, stepping up to every other day during a seasonal moult, with a bath and blow-dry every three to four weeks. Dry the coat thoroughly after every bath — damp fur in our humidity is the single biggest cause of hot spots and yeast — and check ears weekly, as Singapore's climate makes ear infections common in dogs with drop or heavily coated ears.

Feeding and healthy growth

Feed a small-breed puppy formula three times a day until six months; a good-quality diet keeps the white coat bright and reduces tear staining. Keep your puppy lean; excess weight is the most avoidable contributor to joint problems later in life. Fresh water should always be available, and food portions adjusted every few weeks as your puppy grows.

Vet care and health screening

Japanese Spitz are a robust breed with few inherited issues; watch for patellar luxation and keep on top of dental care and weekly eye wiping. Complete the vaccination series on schedule and start heartworm prevention early — mosquitoes make heartworm a year-round risk in Singapore. Every Japanese Spitz we import arrives with breeder health records, so your own vet has full history from the very first visit.

From breeder to our East Coast Road showroom

Puppies stay with their litter until they are old enough to travel, fly on approved routes, then clear AVS import and quarantine requirements before arriving with us. Each puppy is examined by our vet on arrival, settled at the showroom, and only listed once we're satisfied it is healthy, eating well and comfortable with people.
