What is this small, fluffy, slightly fox-like dog?

The owner did not know, but they did give me permission to take a picture.
The owner also said that the dog was full-size, not a puppy (but there was some language barrier difficulties so they may have misunderstood the question)
Googling "small, fluffy dog that looks like a fox" or variations thereof did not yield any results.
Any ideas, hivemind?

Pomeranian for sure! :)

Best answer: Yep, definitely a Pomeranian - specifically one with a teddy bear cut or similar.

Best answer: Nthing Pomeranian. The fox look is all due to how the fur is cut.

Pomeranian is the most likely answer.
Were it a puppy it could be a Shiba Inu

That's a Pomeranian who looks like he's been shaved down a bit

Best answer: It's probably a Pom, but it might have a bit of Shibe in it if it's an unusually large Pom.

Definitely a Pomeranian. My mom's often repeated first memory of seeing a Pomeranian was being ten and thinking, "Oh, a little fox!"

Looks like a Pomeranian. I have a shiba/Eskimo (eskis are basically poms), and she was fluffy as a pup, but not quite like that -- but if it's a a young puppy I wouldn't rule out the shiba mix.

I own a Shiba Inu..pretty sure it's not a Shiba. Looks like a pomeranian. Might be a mix of some sort with slight chance of some Shiba in it...but most likely a pomeranian.
