Breed Information for the Finnish Spitz
The national dog of Finland, the Finnish Spitz is one of the best kept secrets
of the dog world here in the UK., with very few puppies registered with the
Kennel Club each year. Originally bred, and still used as a barking bird dog in
its native land, the breed is very popular in Finland and other Scandinavian
countries, where it is appreciated for its beauty, intelligence and integrity.
In appearance they have the typical Spitz look, characterised by sharply pricked
ears and the tail curled over the back. The eyes should be dark and almond
shaped, with a pitch black nose. The coat comprises of an outer coat which can
vary in colour from a deep chestnut through to a pale red-gold with a soft cream
coloured under coat producing a clear contrast which makes the coat appear to
glow.
