The Finnish Kennel Club’s website has been renewed. The English-language pages are still under construction, but we will publish them soon. Thank you for your patience!
Our goal is:
- to promote the breeding of healthy and good-natured registered pedigree dogs
- to promote the well-being of dogs and the prerequisites of good dog keeping in the Finnish society
- to cherish the traditions of Finnish canine breeding especially for Finnish breeds and
- to work diversely for the promotion of activities related to dogs.
