Finnish Spitz

Finnish Spitz

The Finnish Spitz is an attractive dog with their red coats and fox like looks. They are Finland's national dog and although not so well known outside of their native land they are highly prized in Scandinavian countries thanks to their charming looks and kind courageous natures. They seem to have a natural affinity with children which makes the Finnish Spitz a great choice as a family pet and being so adaptable they are just at home in a family environment as they are in a working one.
