Finnish Spitz

The Finnish Spitz is an intelligent, lively, and friendly dog from Finland that loves spending time with the family and being active. They get along well with other dogs and are known for loving children.


This is a hunting breed originally created for hunting birds and small game, but they are often used for hunting moose and even bears. Being a barking hunting dog, they tend to bark at anything out of the ordinary, and a Finnish Spitz can bark up to 160 times a minute. There are even barking comptetitions in Finland!

A Finnish Spitz is generally a healthy dog, and they have an average life span of 11-14 years. Females weigh between 18 and 22 pounds and males between 26 and 28 pounds, and the medium PlexiDor dog door is a perfect match.
