About the Finnish Spitz:
Finnish Spitz information, advice,
answers and dogs facts

The Finnish Spitz retains its hunting instincts and their particular method of hunting includes a lot of barking. They have actually been bred for centuries to enhance their barking. If you are looking for a quiet dog you may want to consider another breed. They are independent like most Northern breeds and can be difficult to train. They are very playful and affectionate and tend to bond closely with one person. They need quite a bit of daily exercise outdoors but should not be allowed off leash as they tend to wander.
