Im interested in owning a Finnish Spitz. What do I need to know about them?
Finnish Spitz are lively dogs that need companionship and exercise. At the same time, they are somewhat independent, and most are not lap dogs although they will want to be in the same room with you. We recommend a fenced area where they can run (but note that the fence must be secure as they are well known escape artists!) or the ability to provide them with a healthy dose of exercise twice a day such as long walks. They are intelligent and sensitive so they require training without harsh methods but with praise and rewards when they do what you want them to. A Finkie that is treated harshly will never forget it and will never mature into the loving faithful companion that he or she should be.
