How much is a Japanese Spitz in Singapore, and is it HDB-approved?
A well-bred, AVS-licensed Japanese Spitz in Singapore costs $4,888–$5,088, including its vet check, vaccinations to date, health certification and ancestry records. The Japanese Spitz is on HDB’s approved list.
About the Japanese Spitz
The Japanese Spitz looks like a miniature Samoyed and behaves like a cheerful, devoted companion. It is HDB-approved and, despite the fluffy white coat, surprisingly easy to keep clean.
Where the Japanese Spitz comes from. Developed in Japan in the early 20th century from white Spitz-type dogs, the Japanese Spitz was bred purely as a cheerful, devoted companion.
In temperament, expect a dog that is cheerful, loyal, alert and family-oriented. It suits families and first-time owners who want a fluffy, friendly, flat-friendly dog without heavy shedding of a larger spitz. Knowing why the breed was originally developed is the quickest way to predict how it will behave in your home: a working heritage usually means more exercise and stimulation, while a companion heritage usually means a dog that simply wants to be near you.

Colours and coat variants of the Japanese Spitz
Japanese Spitz litters here typically arrive in White, Snow White, Bright White, Cream White and Fluffy White. Rarer colours in a litter are priced toward the top of the $4,888–$5,088 range and common ones toward the bottom; the colour never changes the temperament, health screening or paperwork. If you want a specific colour, say so in your first WhatsApp message and we will tell you honestly whether one is in a current litter or worth waiting for.
Can you keep a Japanese Spitz in an HDB flat?
The Japanese Spitz is on HDB’s approved list. HDB allows one dog per flat from its approved breed list, and keeping a non-approved breed can mean a fine and rehoming, so it is worth getting right before you commit. See our full list of HDB-approved dogs, or read the official HDB pet rules.
Living with a Japanese Spitz in Singapore
The climate reality
The stand-off coat insulates against heat better than it looks, but brush weekly and rinse after outdoor play to keep the white coat bright.
Health to know about
Generally a hardy breed. Watch for patellar luxation and tear staining around the eyes; the white coat shows tear marks, so keep the face clean and dry.
Every puppy follows Singapore's core vaccination schedule (weeks 6, 8 and 12, with deworming at each visit) and comes home around week 9. See the full puppy vaccination schedule.
Grooming, care and exercise
Coat and grooming
The Japanese Spitz has a medium-shedding coat with medium grooming needs. Weekly brushing and the occasional bath keep the coat healthy in Singapore's humidity.
Exercise and energy
The Japanese Spitz needs a proper daily walk plus play and a bit of training each day. It is adaptable to a flat, but a bored Japanese Spitz will invent its own fun, so keep its body and mind occupied.
For the first weeks at home, our puppy training guide covers crate, potty and settling routines that suit a Singapore flat.

Cost of owning a Japanese Spitz in Singapore
Beyond the purchase price, budget for the monthly reality of a Japanese Spitz: around S$40 to S$80 a month on quality food for a small dog, occasional professional grooming, roughly S$40 to S$80 a session, plus the annual AVS licence (S$13.50 to S$81), routine vet visits, and preventive care such as deworming and parasite control. Many owners also take out pet insurance, which can run a few hundred dollars a year. A Japanese Spitz typically lives 12–16 years, so you are planning for a long, rewarding commitment, not a one-off cost.

How to buy a Japanese Spitz ethically in Singapore
"Who is an ethical Japanese Spitz breeder, and who should I avoid?" is the most asked question in Singapore's dog communities, and it has a checkable answer rather than a rumour-based one. Singapore has plenty of unlicensed and backyard sellers, a Japanese Spitz is a 10-plus-year commitment, and three checks protect you from the wrong source.
1. Verify the licence
Only buy from an AVS-licensed seller and check the number yourself on the AVS registry. Ours is BR25052.
2. See the puppy and papers
Meet the Japanese Spitz in person, and ask for its health certification, vaccination booklet and ancestry records before you commit.
3. Be wary of bargains
A Japanese Spitz priced far below the $4,888–$5,088 range, or a seller who rushes you, is a red flag for an unlicensed or unhealthy source.
Flexible on breed and age? Adoption is the most ethical route of all; our honest adopt-or-buy guide explains what adoption in Singapore actually offers.

Japanese Spitz questions, answered
Is a Japanese Spitz HDB-approved?
Yes. The Japanese Spitz is on HDB’s approved breed list and is well suited to flat living with daily walks.
Is a white Japanese Spitz hard to keep clean?
Less than you would expect. The coat has a texture that repels dirt, so weekly brushing, occasional baths and keeping tear stains wiped are usually enough to keep it bright white.
How much is a Japanese Spitz puppy in Singapore?
A vaccinated, AVS-licensed Japanese Spitz from Puppy Singapore is priced within $2,888 to $4,488, including vet check, vaccinations to date, health certification and ancestry records.
How much exercise does a Japanese Spitz need?
The Japanese Spitz needs a proper daily walk plus play and a bit of training each day. It is adaptable to a flat, but a bored Japanese Spitz will invent its own fun, so keep its body and mind occupied.
Are Japanese Spitzs good with children and families?
Yes. The Japanese Spitz's cheerful nature generally makes it a good family companion. As with any dog, early socialisation and teaching children to handle a puppy calmly set everyone up well.
How much does it cost to own a Japanese Spitz in Singapore?
Beyond the Japanese Spitz's purchase price of $4,888–$5,088, expect roughly S$40 to S$80 a month on food, plus grooming, the annual AVS licence (S$13.50 to S$81), routine vet care, and optional pet insurance. Grooming is the swing factor: medium-grooming coats cost more to maintain.
How big does a Japanese Spitz get?
The Japanese Spitz is a small breed, weighing about 5–10 kg fully grown. That size is within HDB’s approved range, so it suits a flat.
How do I find a responsible Japanese Spitz breeder in Singapore?
Insist on an AVS-licensed seller whose licence you can verify on the government registry, ask to see the puppy in person and its health and vaccination records, and be wary of unusually cheap Japanese Spitz listings or sellers who rush you past the paperwork. Puppy Singapore is licensed under BR25052 and shows you exactly where to check it.
How long do Japanese Spitzs live?
A Japanese Spitz typically lives 12–16 years. A lean weight, a quality diet, regular dental and ear care, and yearly vet checks are the biggest levers on a long, comfortable life.
