Cross breeding is an opportunity for dog breeds where Finland is a pioneer. At best, a designed and controlled cross breeding process improves the health and well-being of a breed that suffers from difficulties – it can even preserve the breed’s existence.

The health and well-being of dogs is the primary concern in all the Finnish Kennel Club's breeding-related rules and activities.  Our rules are in harmony with the Animal Welfare Act and the Animal Welfare Decree as well as other official regulations that apply to the breeding of animals. The Finnish Kennel Club actively steers dog breeding in the direction the above-mentioned regulations prescribe.  

The Finnish Hound is a native breed and one of the most popular dog breeds in Finland. It is used almost solely to hunt hares or foxes. It works independently, tracking either earth or airborne scent and will pursue game and bark passionately.

Finnish Kennel Club's breeding database contains the health, test and show results of dogs registered in Finland. The system is an openly browsable, unique data repository, where you can also perform versatile searches of dogs' data.
