Finnish breeds

There are five domestic breeds in Finland: the Karelian Bear Dog, the Lapponian Herder, the Finnish Hound, the Finnish Lapponian Dog, and our national breed, the Finnish Spitz. The breeds constitute an integral part of the Finnish cultural heritage. The Finnish Kennel Club and the breed clubs representing Finnish breeds have an important task: to guarantee that the breeds are preserved and that they are viable also in the future.
