The Finnish Spitz is the national breed of Finland and the result of high-standard domestic breeding work. It was bred directly out of the native landrace dog population without crossbreeding, making it a real rarity as a hunting dog on the international level as well. The Finnish Spitz is a unique part of our living cultural heritage. Preserving hunting with the Finnish Spitz as well as cherishing the health of the breed are set as main goals for breeding. The Finnish Spitz is one of our healthiest breeds and the goal is to keep it as such for the generations to come.

If you do your groundwork diligently, a dog can become a long-term loyal companion that will bring you joy for many years.
