Finnish Spitz

Hailing from Finland, the Finnish Spitz is a dog that people used to hunt different games like rodents and squirrels. They didn’t only have eyes for small animals, for they could even hunt bears. Their barking capabilities are what helps them point out their prey.

These dogs are still overall friendly, and love children. They can socialize well with other dogs, but you have to keep them away from smaller animals. You need to be gentle when you train them because they don’t like harsh methods. Some of the medical issues they can develop are epilepsy, elbow dysplasia, hip dysplasia, and patellar luxation.
