Cheerful, playful and friendly. Sensitive, independent and courageous. Raised, faithful and kind. All this characterizes a wonderful and small variety of huskies - the Finnish Spitz.
History and purpose of the breed
Suomenpistikorva, or Finnish Spitz, is a hunting breed of huskies that originates from dogs of the ancient Finnish Suomi people. Initially, it was called Finnish Barking Birddog (a barking, bird-hunting Finnish dog) or Suomenpystrykorva (a Finnish dog with sharp ears).
Spitz was brought to Finland over two thousand years ago, from the banks of the Volga River (at that time the area was part of Central Russia, and today belongs to Finland). The breed was bred purposefully for hunting all kinds of game (from squirrels and other small rodents to wild boars and bears).

Dogs of this breed, of course, are one of the most beautiful representatives of the whole variety of huskies. Small sizes and a fiery-red fur coat distinguish them from their counterparts. You will not find a better and more devoted friend than a Finnish Spitz. Photos from joint walks in nature or just in a close home circle will look much better if your mischievous and faithful four-legged friend flaunts them as a full member of the family.
