A little about the Finnish Spitz
The Finnish Spitz is a lively breed with a 'fox-like' appearance and a ready bark. They commonly bond to one individual and will be devoted to this person, but can be stubborn and domineering with others. They love daily exercise, but their hunting instincts mean they can be distracted by a scent and wander off.
