Finnish Spitz
The Finnish Spitz is an ancient breed of dog, originating in Finland over 2000 years ago.
Bred as a hunting dog, the Finnish Spitz was used to flush out game birds from dense forests. Its keen sense of smell and loud bark made it an ideal hunting companion.
The breed was officially recognized by the Finnish Kennel Club in 1892 and has since become the national dog of Finland.
With its fox-like appearance and lively personality, the Finnish Spitz is a popular companion dog. It is known for its intelligence, loyalty, and alertness.
The breed is also renowned for its distinctive bark, which can be heard from up to a mile away. This unique trait earned the Finnish Spitz the nickname "the Barking Bird Dog."
Today, the Finnish Spitz is a beloved family pet, prized for its affectionate nature and playful spirit.
