What does SPITZ mean in Scrabble?
noun
A dog of any of several breeds having a thick, long coat, a pointed muzzle, erect ears and a tail curled over the back.
A spitz is recognized less by a single body shape than by this shared set of features, which is why breeds as different in size as the Pomeranian and the Alaskan Malamute both count as a spitz. The dense double coat kept the original working and sleigh dogs warm in cold northern climates. Breeders and judges still use the term as a general grouping name rather than the name of one specific breed.

Used mainly as a general classifying term in dog breed guides rather than in everyday conversation.
