Finnish Spitz Dog
Origin
The Finnish Spitz (also known as Suomenpystykorva) was declared the national dog of Finland in 1979. The race is supposed to be descended from different combination of dogs, Russian and Nordic Spitz type dogs and was developed in Finland for hundreds of years to go and hunt all game types, furry, big and small, and feathers . Due to indiscriminate breeding Finnish Spitz as a particular type has become almost disappeared in the 19th century. It is fortunate that the fate of the breed was recognized in time by Hugo Hugo Sandberg and Roos, who brought together some of the surviving animals of pure breed and established a breeding program that has been restored viable career staff. In 1892, the breed was recognized by the Kennel Club of Finland, in 1920 the first dogs were imported to England and the breed club is registered with the Kennel Club of the United Kingdom in 1934. Finnish Spitz are still widely used as bird dogs at home. Their hunting method is to follow the flight of a bird until it lands on a tree, then call the attention of the hunter to the quarry by barking. Besides Finland, are best known as companions and show dogs.
Character :
If one word could summarize the Finnish Spitz is surely the word “sparkling.” His coat shines, his eyes twinkle and his personality shines with all vitality and enthusiasm for life. It adheres closely with your family and always ready to be included in everything that happens, whether it’s walking, games, car rides, swimming or simply relax in the company of those he loves. Although pleased to be taking all the time, should not be considered a kennel to be fed, watered and allowed himself in court. Not only is the human interaction and affection, but is bored and miserable alone, which can lead to constant barking, destructiveness and escape attempts to find fun. Fences need to be sure that the hunting instinct is deep and will try to follow any scent or sound that excites. Curiosity is also a feature of the race and his desire to know what happens on or near the road may lead to his downfall. It is a very good watchdog. He is always alert and ready for keen sight and hearing will be resumed at any suspicious movement or sound. It may be somewhat reserved and cautious with strangers, but also has unlimited courage and a strong protective instinct to defend its territory and people are presented with a threat. Barking (has a high voice and may bark more than 150 times per minute) can be a nuisance, so they must be trained to know when it is appropriate and be silent. For all the gays, safe behavior, which is very sensitive to the tension and outbursts and thrives best in a quiet environment. Usually good with children and families who enjoy active outdoor activities and may be looking for a dog to share in all aspects of their lives, and the charming Finnish Spitz could be the answer.
Exercise
Designed for endurance and stamina needed to hunt for hours over long distances in adult Finnish Spitz needs plenty of exercise to keep fit and mentally alert. The minimum would be a day 45 minute walk, but he will be happy to take as much exercise is also offered. Caution should be exercised with the exercise out of place, not only is a born fighter, but it is curious and investigations or control can lead to loss or other problems. Interactive games, including those such as “finding” will help burn some energy and use your brain chip. You will love the agility and sport is an excellent partner in the excursions.
Training :
From a very young Finnish Spitz puppy should be gently but firmly told the limits of acceptable behavior and what is its place in the family. Failure to consistently apply the rules can lead to this very intelligent dog are at the head of the house without you knowing how it happened. This is not an arduous task of forming a Finnish Spitz, provided that positive reinforcement methods are used. He is quick to learn and the basic obedience exercises should present no problem for him. However, it is a dog of the practice and I can not see anything in the tilt repetitive, seats, etc. The key is to keep the lessons short and fun and interesting and stop him before he gets bored and s’ off. harsh physical punishment and verbal reprimands should not be used because they only have a negative effect on the dog which makes it harder for him to learn and the erosion of trust and willingness to work. Socialization should be started early. Introducing the puppy to as many people as possible to prevent their natural caution in over-development of the suspicion of foreigners. If, as a puppy, who is accustomed to various people, animals, places, sounds, situations, which will be ready to take its place in the home and in society as a dog whose manners, confidence and good match his physical beauty.
