The Finnish Spitz







The Finnish Spitz is a friendly, energetic, and intelligent dog. These dogs were used in Finland as hunting dogs. These dogs have a loud voice so they let hunters know where the prey was. They didn't actually catch prey. Today this dog is still used for hunting as well as a family pet. These dogs are very friendly towards people, especially kids, which makes them a great family dog. They are also very sociable so they need a lot of handling and attention from their owners. The Spitz is a very independent breed which makes training a bit of a challenge. Patience is the key to training these dogs. These dogs are energetic so a long walk once a day and a little time to play in the yard will suit them. One con about these dogs is that they do shed quite a bit. Regular grooming is needed to maintain this dog's beautiful coat. Another con about these dogs is that they tend to boss their owners around if they aren't taught otherwise. In conclusion the Finnish Spitz is a great family companion that with a firm hand, grooming, and a lot of attention will be a great pet.
