History
The Wirehaired Pointing Griffon It is a breed of dog of French origin. Their ancestors are Dutch, but shown as a French race, It was in France where he developed.
This breed is still relatively rare today in the Americas as well as in the UK., Although it is recognized by their respective Kennel Clubs, as well as by the International Cynological Federation (CRF not. 107).
The culprit of the existence of Korthals Griffon was a man named Eduard Karel Korthals, born the 16 in November of 1851 in Amsterdam that, he was the son of a wealthy shipbuilder who had a keen interest in breeding hunting dogs, to the extent that his son inherited that passion and as a result and the ability for business, the beautiful was born Griffon, protagonist of this post.
His dream was to create the ideal hunting dog, versatile, with extreme resistance, force and devotion to his master. The dog, as well, he would have to know how to work close to his master, be docile and very capable of learning. In 1873 to the 22 years of age and with the financial support of his father, He settled near some friends in Hesse (Germany) a region known for its great fondness for hunting with dogs and was dedicated to the breeding of purebred dogs Griffon.
four years later, one of his friends, the prince of Solms-Braunfels, I entrust him with the management of his kennel “Bibesheim” (was then, the most famous of Germany) which was dedicated especially to the breeding of purebred dogs English Pointer, that change in his life did not prevent him at all, continue with the development of their race Griffon.
Soon Eduard Korthals became one of the largest breeders nationwide, very proud and sure of his work of selection, breeding began with seven specimens of Griffon of different kinds, hard hair, woolly hair, barbets, a mestizo German short hair, etc. He called them "The Seven Patriarchs" and their names were: Bank, Hector, Janus, Satan, Donna, Junon and Mouche. Thus begins the story that after twenty years, resulted in the birth of a specific breed of Griffon with wire hair, leonado, with «Pointer» blood (Although not pure, then we have) and beautiful dog, it must be said...
We must also tell which, Eduard Korthals carried out ruthless work in its breeding program, with very close consanguinity coupling and many deaths on the road, you are right…, the history has beautiful parts and others less so. Y, here comes the bomb! Out of a total of 600 dogs, only kept alive to 62 and he made them work in the Woods, in swamps, in Plains, in different seasons, to see how they worked in different situations and hunting tasks.
In creating your Wirehaired Pointing, Korthals did not use all the blood purity of the English Pointer, because after having tried, realized that the mixture led to his Griffon lose some of its most important features.
With his method of consanguinity, exhaustive selection and unit, the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon It was of such quality that many specialists in the canine world in Germany, in Belgium, in the Netherlands, in France and several parts of Europe, they were stunned, Given the Korthals he had created a dog like no other, a dog with an essential width, great search speed, a well-developed sense of smell and, In short, its versatility.
The 15 in November of 1887, supported by the contributions of a Commission formed by 16 renowned breeders and presided over by the Prince of Solm-Braunfels (who had entrusted Eduar Korthals -years before- the management of its hatchery “Bibesheim”), Eduar Korthals wrote the standard of Korthals Griffon, that curiously never amended since then. The following year, He created a Club specialized in his breed whose objective was to bring together all the lovers of his Griffon fawn with wire hair from various countries and until his death in 1896, He devoted himself to the improvement and dissemination of their race. He died of laryngeal cancer 4 in July of 1896 in the hatchery Bibeishem.
But despite his death, his ideas continued living, then many followers and friends as Baron Gingins (Switzerland), Charles Prudommeaux (France) and the Sr. Leliman (Netherlands) they continued their valuable work, turning to improving your Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, and the diffusion of the breed throughout Europe and even in United States and Canada. It was the 8 in June of 1951, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Eduar Korthals What, The "French Wirehaired Griffon Club" decided to associate the name of Korthals the race, to perpetuate the memory of its creator, and in honor of all his achievements and life dedicated to the task of breeding. Hence the name "Korthals Griffon”.
The first specimen registered in the Book of Origins of the American Kennel Club was a Korthals Griffon called "Zolette", in the year 1887. But, the Griffon was still relatively- unknown, was registered as “Russian Setter (Griffon)”, by its supposed Russian heritage. It was not until 1916, Twenty-nine years later, the breed was officially recognized in United States.
In the same year, sixteen copies of Korthals Griffon participated in the "Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show”, one of United States most prestigious dog shows. Since then, the race was growing in popularity, not only as a show and companion dog, but also a versatile hunting dog (that was the original intention of Korthals when he created the breed). for the most part, the breed continues to maintain its original characteristics: medium-sized, layer hard, good degree of training capacity and resistant in the field and in the ring.

Of the three French Scent hounds, the French White and Black Hound, is the best known.
Content
The French White and Black Hound is a competent olfactory hound of French origin. It was specifically developed for hunting in large packs and today this breed is acquired exclusively for hunting.. Despite her fabulous work skills, it can be found very rarely not only in European countries but also in its native France.
History
Before the french revolution, hunting with large packs was one of the favorite pastimes of the French nobility. It also, it also offered the opportunity to establish trade relations and resolve global political and economic issues.. Unfortunately, the demise of the French upper class during times of political turmoil also meant the demise of numerous varieties of tracker hounds. After Napoleon's defeat, monarchical power was rebuilt and hound hunting regained its popularity. Thanks to technological advances in maritime traffic, dog breeding became a much less difficult task and many British hounds were sent to France during the period between 1815 and 1900.
The true ancestry of the French Hound will probably never be discovered as most early breeders did not bother to keep any breeding records.. However, it can be stated with quite certainty that the breed was created by mixing live and now extinct breeds of French and English hounds. The Saintongeois, Gascon Saintongeois and Poitevin hound were the main ancestors of the French White and Black Hound. It is commonly believed that other breeds were used on a rather limited basis in their breeding program..
The French Scent hounds kept solely for hunting in large packs. Its largest quarry were large wild animals such as deer, the wolf and the boar. A group of several hounds detected the scent trail of one of these mammals and chased it., barking loudly so the hunter could go after them. Depending on the type of animal pursued, the dogs were to corner him or kill him immediately.
The number of specimens of this breed of hound drastically decreased after two world wars. French hunting enthusiasts managed to save her, although many unique French breeds were lost to the world during these terrible times. In 1957, the French Hound was fully recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI). But, FCI recognition hardly increased the international awareness of this dog, so he did not win the appreciation of hunters from other countries. It also, currently their breeding and therefore their population are supported solely by the French hunting community. In general, the future of French White and Black Hound you will be fairly insured as long as there are fans of dog hunting in your homeland.
Physical characteristics Black and white French Hound
The French White and Black Hound is a big dog, distinguished and well balanced. His dark eyes give him a smart and confident look. Quite large at birth, her tail is carried high enough.

SIZE :
Males: 65 to 72 cm.
females: 62 to 68 cm.
Character and skills French White and Black Hound
The only function of French White and Black Hound is hunting, so it is difficult to make a generalization about their behavior patterns and temperament in a home environment. But, it is not necessary to suggest that a socialized specimen can become an educated and well-rounded family pet. Like most track hounds, he is gentle with children and likes to be a part of their exuberant activities.. This dog is probably too energetic and playful to be a suitable companion for a child..
The French White and Black Hound tends to become somewhat distant and reserved in the presence of strangers. However, he will never show open aggression unless he suspects that something or someone threatens his family. Some of these dogs are vigilant enough to perform surveillance duties. This sociable and caring breed will make a terrible guardian, that he would rather greet an intruder by wagging his tail than resorting to necessary actions.
Canine aggressiveness is considered a major defect in the temperament of hounds, that were developed for herd hunting. For this reason, members with the slightest hint of this undesirable characteristic are immediately excluded from the breeding program. The French White and Black Hound is known for its exceptional tolerance towards other canines. Despite his excessively peaceful nature, also requires early socialization in this regard. It is worth remembering that the breed has a very powerful drive to hunt down and kill other species of animals., especially stray cats. You can get along with individual family pets if you have been raised with them since your puppy.
The French White and Black Hound Needs a negligible amount of maintenance. Regular brushing will be enough to keep his short, graceful coat in reasonably good condition..
The ears of this breed are highly susceptible to irritation and infections., so its systematic examination and cleaning should become an essential part of care routines.
French White and Black Hound Training
the education of French White and Black Hound poses a considerable challenge. The breed is a natural hunter and requires fairly basic training in all that concerns its original hunting duties.. Unfortunately, its persistence in the search for prey turns into obstinacy in training. It also, cannot concentrate on the same boring task for a long time and is easily irritated by its many repetitions.
The best training strategy for this dog should include abundant rewards in the form of praise and tasty treats.. Negative reinforcement doesn't work with French White and Black Hound and must be avoided at all costs.
Exercise with the French White and Black Hound
The French White and Black Hound it is an athletic and robust hunting dog, easily adapts to extremely intense physical activity. As minimum, should be taken on a daily brisk walk of 45 minutes. You should always wear a leash while away, since it is very difficult to call him back once he has been drawn down some interesting path.
The French White and Black Hound behaves calm and relaxed once exercise requirements have been fully met. It must be borne in mind that a poorly exercised dog will gradually develop such unpleasant behavior problems as continuous barking, internal hyperactivity or destruction. This breed is best suited for suburban life in the house with a large, secure yard.

History
As its name implies, the Finnish Hound It is a breed of dog native to Finland. His story is the same as that of many other hounds, as it was developed in response to the need for a hunting dog perfectly adapted to its environment.
It is the result of a breeding program started at the beginning of the 19th century by several breeders who used the English Foxhound and several hounds, as well as French and German hunting dogs. The aim of these crosses was to create an animal capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures of Finnish winters, with excellent resistance in mountainous terrain, a trumpet bark to alert hunters and a particularly developed sense of smell that would allow it to excel at tracking hares and foxes. This breeding program was a success, and the bitch he gave birth to, call Suomenajokoira, quickly gained popularity thanks to his admirable hunting skills and friendly temperament.
When it was founded Suomen Kennelliitto, Finland's leading dog organization, in 1889, his first initiative was to develop a standardized hound breed from Finland. Many breeders came forward to try to get their production recognized as the standard to follow. Three dogs were selected in the organization's first dog show in 1891, and eight more were added the following year. The first breed standard of Finnish Hound It was established in 1893 based on these individuals. It was decided, among other things, accept only fawn as coat color. But, this color did not completely stabilize, and individuals from successive litters very often had coats of other colors, like black and white. This forced the Kennelliitto to also recognize a tricolor coat (leonado, black and white) early twentieth century, which finally became the norm. The standard evolved again in small touches later, but in its main lines it has remained the same since 1932.
The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) recognized the breed in 1954, but I didn't have many emulators. These may include, it wasn't until more than 40 years later, in 1996, that the United Kennel Club (UKC) he did the same. The other reference organization in the United States, the American Kennel Club (AKC), has not yet taken the step.
In fact, just like the prestigious British Kennel Club or the Canadian Kennel Club (CCC), for example, most national organizations do not yet recognize the Finnish Hound.
Outside Finland, the Finnish Hound remains totally unknown to the general public.
On the other hand, the Finnish Hound is much more popular in his native Finland, to the point of appearing in the Top 10 of the most common breeds in the country, which makes it the most widespread national breed. But, with about 1.000 births per year registered in Suomen Kennelliitto, has been in free fall for several decades. In fact, at the dawn of the 21st century the number was more than 2500, and at the end of the 90 even exceeded 4000. This sharp decline is due to increasing urbanization and the decline in hunting activities.
The same development can be found in the other Scandinavian countries that have adopted the Finnish Hound, namely, Sweden and Norway. In the first, the number of births registered each year in the Svenska Kennelklubben is now within 400, compared with more than double at the end of the 1990. The number of births registered in the Svenska Kennelklubben is now little more than 150 by year, compared to more than triple that number in the late 1990s.
The Finnish Hound still commonly used as a hunting dog in Finland, Sweden and Norway, but they are practically unknown outside the Scandinavian region.
Athletics, resistant and strong, the Finnish Hound he has a robust and muscular silhouette and a medium size. His body is rectangular, with a deep chest and well sprung ribs. The tail is carried low; is wide at the base and tapers to a point at the end.
The head is well proportioned in relation to the body and slightly domed. A characteristic detail of the breed is the upper lip, that falls to the sides of the mouth forming an N-shaped curve when viewed from the front. His eyes are dark brown with a calm expression. The ears are large, plan, falls and not very long.
The Finnish Hound have a double coat consisting of a short undercoat, dense and smooth in texture and a medium length top coat, straight and quite hard. The coat is tricolor, mixing black, fawn and white. Specifically, the fur is black, while the head, the outer parts of the legs and shoulders are tawny. At the same time, white markings are generally present on the muzzle, the neck, the chest, the belly, the feet and the tip of the tail.
Last, sexual dimorphism is only slightly marked in this breed, since the females are on average barely 3 cm smaller than males.
Carácter y aptitudes «Sabueso finlandés»
The Finnish Hound it is above all a true working dog with a highly developed predatory instinct and a strong character.
Decades of independent hunting have caused them to be stubborn and stubborn. For this reason, not recommended for a novice teacher: only an experienced and firm owner can establish and maintain the appropriate level of authority to elicit acceptable behavior from him.
This does not detract from its formidable hunting qualities., an activity in which he is alert, energetic and durable. It is mainly used to hunt hare, fox and sometimes wildcat. Regardless of weather and terrain, he is always there and never spares his efforts, able to follow a trail for hours in terrible weather conditions – aided by his highly developed sense of smell. He is also a very vocal hunting dog., appreciated for its characteristic barks, who plays a key role in allowing his master to follow him even when he is out of sight, and to alert of the presence of hunting.
To counter his unlimited energy while hunting, the Finnish Hound is generally calm and friendly during periods of rest, especially when they are at home.
Once trained and socialized, the Finnish Hound blends surprisingly well into family life. They are known to be very affectionate and are constantly on the lookout for human company., forming extremely close ties with their owners. He is also a dog that loves children. But, they must be taught to interact with him appropriately and to respect him, since they may not appreciate being mistreated. In any case, a young child should never be left alone with a dog, regardless of race.
His good relations with humans are not limited to his family circle. He is usually very nice to strangers. In other words, although its thunderous barks might suggest that it is a good watchdog, this is not the case at all.
The Finnish Hound is also sociable with other hounds, especially if they have been well socialized from a young age. So, it is perfectly conceivable to adopt a second dog to keep him company.
This is all the more true as his closeness to his masters makes him easily suffer from separation anxiety when left alone for too long., since it needs a lot of attention. The presence of a small playmate can help alleviate the problem.
In any case, it must not be a cat, rodent, bird or any other small animal. In fact, even if you are used to being around him, it is evident that he would not be safe in his presence, because the predatory instincts of the Finnish Hound they can take control at any time. It also, it is recommended to always keep it on a leash during your daily walks, to prevent you from rushing in pursuit of small animals that would pass.
The Finnish Hound it is very resistant and extremely active, so you need a lot of exercise every day. In the days when you used to hunt, your tracking activity should be an appropriate amount of exercise. The rest of the time, you need at least an hour of vigorous exercise a day: run, long walks, etc.
Keeping an active mind is also very important, so it is advisable to train him regularly to follow the tracks or play ball. This helps maintain your mental well-being., In addition to your physical health.
To be happy, the Finnish Hound needs constant access to a sufficiently large outdoor space in which to run freely. It is essential that the area is fenced in to prevent the Finnish Hound chase the surrounding animals. Not suitable for a small house without a garden or in an apartment. Wherever i live, his hunting nature causes him to bark a lot and can be a source of tension with potential neighbors.
Educacción «Sabueso finlandés»
The Finnish Hound he is intelligent and full of energy, but it is a difficult breed to train. Accustomed since its creation to hunt alone, over time has developed a strong character, independent and stubborn. He needs to have before him a master who is at least as determined, that is to say, experienced, able to show your dog that he makes up his mind and to keep a firm hand in his education throughout his life. So, not recommended for a beginning teacher, on which he would soon gain the upper hand. It also, if it is important that the rules are clear and defined from the beginning by the master, it is equally important that they are constant over time and consistent from person to person, that is to say, that all members of the house enforce them to the letter.
The Finnish Hound it's hard to handle, but it shows real sensitivity, as evidenced by his closeness to his family. So, punishments can affect you emotionally; it is preferable to take a positive approach to educate him, using positive reinforcement techniques and therefore the use of rewards: candies, petting, stimuli…
In any case, hunting practice and the ability to follow a trail require very little training, since they are things that he knows how to do instinctively.
But, is strongly inclined to want to use his hunting skills in circumstances that do not lend themselves to it, for example, rushing potential small prey on walks. Teaching your dog to remember is therefore of particular importance with the Finnish Hound. But, this can be difficult, because once he's thrown on a track, can be very reluctant to abandon it, completely ignoring the orders of its owner. Feel free to start and perfect your training in a safe, enclosed space such as your home or garden before attempting outdoor exercise..
It also, It must be remembered that this breed has been encouraged from its beginnings to bark frequently and loudly. If it's not meant to be used for hunting, it is possible to try to teach your dog to refrain from barking. But, although the latter can be reduced by specific training started at a very young age, it is impossible to hunt completely naturally, that is to say, make them disappear completely.
Finally, like any dog, benefits from being socialized from their first months, to become a balanced adult who knows how to be among humans. In addition to confronting him with a wide range of situations and stimuli (noises, smells, etc.), it should be introduced without delay to the people you will meet later in life (family, friends, neighbors, veterinary, etc.), as well as getting used to cross all kinds of humans, congeners and representatives of other species. Given their hunting instinct, This last point is not unimportant.: the more accustomed you are to the presence of other animals, less likely to hunt them later.

History French Tricolour Hound
The true ancestry of French Scent hounds It will probably never be discovered as most early breeders didn't bother to keep any breeding records.. But, it can be stated with quite certainty that the breed was created by mixing live and now extinct breeds of French and English Scent hounds.
The French Tricolour Hound it is a breed of recent creation (1957), probably comes from the crossing of the Great Anglo-French tricolor hound with the Poitevin hound, the Billy and possibly the Great Gascony Blue. The standard is of the year 1965.
The French Tricolour Hound kept solely for hunting in large packs. Its largest quarry were large wild animals such as deer, the wolf and the boar. A group of several hounds detected the scent trail of one of these mammals and chased it., barking loudly so the hunter could go after them. Depending on the type of animal pursued, the dogs were to corner him or kill him immediately.
The number of copies decreased drastically after two world wars. French hunting enthusiasts managed to save her, although many unique French breeds were lost to the world during these terrible times.
At present its breeding and therefore its population are supported solely by the French hunting community. In general, the future of French Tricolour Hound you will be fairly insured as long as there are fans of dog hunting in your homeland.

Character and skills French Tricolour Hound
The only function of French Tricolour Hound is hunting, so it is difficult to make a generalization regarding their behavior patterns and temperament in a home environment. But, it is not necessary to suggest that a socialized specimen can become an educated and balanced family pet. Like most tracking hounds, he is gentle with children and likes to be a part of their various activities.. This dog is probably too energetic and playful to be a suitable companion for a child..
The French Tricolour Hound tends to become somewhat distant and reserved in the presence of strangers. But, will never show open aggressiveness unless they suspect that something or someone threatens their family. Some of these dogs are vigilant enough to perform surveillance duties. This sociable and caring breed will make a terrible guardian, that he would rather greet an intruder by wagging his tail than resorting to necessary actions.
Canine aggressiveness is considered a major defect in the temperament of hounds, that were developed for herd hunting. For this reason, members with the slightest hint of this undesirable characteristic are immediately excluded from the breeding program. The French Tricolour Hound is known for its exceptional tolerance towards other canines. Despite his excessively peaceful nature, also requires early socialization in this regard. It is worth remembering that the breed has a very powerful drive to hunt down and kill other species of animals., especially stray cats. You can get along with individual family pets if you have been raised with them since your puppy.
The French Tricolour Hound Needs a negligible amount of maintenance. Regular brushing will be enough to keep his short, graceful coat in reasonably good condition..

Unfortunately, its persistence in the search for prey turns into obstinacy in training. It also, cannot stay focused on the same boring task for a long time and is easily irritated by its many repetitions.
The best training strategy for this dog should include abundant rewards in the form of praise and tasty treats.. Negative reinforcement doesn't work with French Tricolour Hound and must be avoided at all costs.
Exercise with French Tricolour Hound

The French Tricolour Hound behaves calm and relaxed once exercise requirements have been fully met. Keep in mind that a poorly exercised dog will gradually develop unpleasant behavior problems such as continuous barking, internal hyperactivity or destruction. This breed is best suited for suburban life in the house with a large, secure yard.

Content

It is especially popular in its homeland, Finland. Below you can read interesting facts about the Finnish Spitz, which in Finnish is called «Suomenpystykorva«.
History
Finnish national dog
For centuries, the Finnish Spitz has been used as a hunting companion in northern and eastern Finland. In particular, has helped hunt small predators, moose and waterfowl, and later this dog became more and more specialized in grouse and black grouse: Scare these large birds into the surrounding treetops. Now him Finnish Spitz barks persistently until its two-legged partner is close enough to shoot prey.
Little is known about the exact development of the breed. But, the Finnish Spitz probably descended from dogs Spitz, who have been the everyday helpers of the people in Russia for more than 1.000 years. Towards the end of the 19th century, finnish Hugo Roos observed the original Spitz in northern Finland while hunting and recognized its extraordinary abilities. He advocated selective breeding and thus developed the modern Finnish Spitz – although the standard has been changed several times since then. In Russia, the four-legged friend is also known as the Karelo-Finnische Laika, but in 2006 the Finnish and Russian breeding associations agreed that the two names are the same breed. This means that Finland has been recognized as the country of origin of the breed and is responsible for the standard..
Since 1979 the Finnish Spitz has been the national dog of Finland.
Physical characteristics
Compact body, upright ears and a bushy tail curled over the back: The Finnish Spitz medium-sized it is optically a typical Spitz and stands out especially for its red or golden-brown fur. This consists of two layers: The soft, dense undercoat and the hard top coat. The undercoat is always a little lighter.
Males can reach a height at the withers of about 47 cm., the females some 42 cm.. Depending on its size, the dogs weigh between 10 and 15 kg.
Character and skills
If you want a stuffed dog that always strives for recognition from his two-legged friends, you are wrong with a Finnish Spitz. This independent and sovereign dog knows better than anyone where he is going, and therefore never fully subordinate. He is extremely intelligent and loves to learn, if you can teach him something new. Frequent repetitions quickly bore you, so your willingness to cooperate can decrease rapidly. He is brave and very keen to bark: one of his characteristics is a penetrating voice – More on this later. One Finnish Spitz can be used as a guard dog, but he needs to be connected to his human pack. He is friendly with his caregiver or family and enjoys spending time with children.
Attention: It is a very Barking Dog.
At this point we would like to point out a special feature of this dog, the bark of joy Finnish Spitz. Please, consider it: In finland, with a population density of about 16 Inhabitants per square kilometer, the closest neighbor usually lives far away. Here the dog is not only known for his strong voice, but also positively emphasized and encouraged in the form of barking competitions.
This skill is extremely important for hunting, so that the dog can offer good guidance to the two-legged hunter who cannot move so easily through partially snowy forest. The Finnish Spitz they don't just bark, they also dominate different variations, from short sounds to a kind of song.
Many Finnish Spitz they can do up 160 sounds per minute. So if you are thinking about the arrival of such a dog, you must first inform yourself about their joy of barking. Even if you can control or reduce it, some Finnish Spitz they will continue to bark more than most other dogs – this is simply in their genes. If you live in a rural area, you can use the Finnish Spitz as an excellent guardian of the house and the yard.
Activities with the Finnish Spitz
To the Finnish Spitz he loves the time he spends with his reference person, as well as being outside. So, it's better to combine both as often as possible and take it for long, long walks. It is a wonderful companion on walks, if you keep him on a leash or have his hunting instinct under control. this last, However, is a challenge with this breed, if recoverability is not trained from the beginning. Frequent repetitions are not fun for him Finnish Spitz, but they are looking for a common activity that also trains their smart little head. The trace job, for example, it's a pleasure for him Finnish Spitz. In all sports activities, you must ensure that your partner does not overexert himself., so you stay motivated and injuries don't occur.
Finnish Spitz education
If you are thinking that a Finnish Spitz move in with you, You should already have some canine experience to guide this independent companion to the required basic obedience. Don't expect me to be completely subordinate to you, race is too independent for that. Be consistent with everything that is important to you, but leave the Finnish Spitz his own head (testaruda) elsewhere.
With a loving consistency and positive reinforcement you can train this dog well as a rule. In any case, he is very intelligent and likes to learn new things – then it is also, as a result, cooperative. Use this for your training. With a young man Finnish Spitz it makes sense to visit the puppy school, to establish positive contacts with puppies of other breeds and to strengthen or develop your social streak. Also basic command training at a dog school can be very helpful with him. – it's best if you find a dog school that already has experience with the idiosyncratic character of Spitz.
Robust health
The typical Finnish Spitz is a robust and weather resistant dog: the breed is considered to be hardly affected by specific hereditary diseases. If you are thinking of acquiring a dog of this type, it is important that you buy it from reputable breeders, as they reduce the risk of genetic diseases through responsible breeding. An example would be the predisposition of some dogs to Hip Dysplasia or problems with the knee and elbow joints. Talk to the breeder in question about the health care of parental animals.
You yourself can contribute a great deal to your dog's health by providing him with a healthy diet and exercising appropriately for his age and level of training..
This breed of Spitz it is quite sensitive to heat due to its origin in the far north… The walks in winter, on the other hand, are to the taste of this four-legged friend. The breed reaches an average age of 12 to 13 years.
The Finnish Spitz diet
It also, a balanced diet adapted to the needs of your four-legged friend is an important component for their health. Like all dogs, the Finnish Spitz requires a meat-based diet. So, make sure meat is the first component for the pet food you choose. The grain should not be included. This applies regardless of whether wet or dry food is chosen. With a pure diet of dry food you must pay special attention to the fact that your quadruped ingests enough liquid.
Water must always be freely available. After meals, their Finnish Spitz definitely must have time for a digestive nap, so it is better to feed after joint excursions. Remember that treats must be added to the daily ration, otherwise your dog's slim waist will be in danger. It is also possible to bring dry food as a reward.
Dry chews, like cattle ears, satisfy your partner's chewing needs. Dental care treats or freeze-dried meat snacks especially for dogs are other sensible rewards that you can give your four-legged friend a tasty little treat with..
Care for the Finnish Spitz
Although caring for this dog's coat is quite easy, should not be careless, especially during coat change. In spring and autumn the Finnish Spitz usually has a lot of hair – help him get rid of dead hairs by brushing him regularly – preferably daily. This way you can prevent skin irritation, which can develop rapidly if too many hairs from the dense undercoat remain on the dog. Outside the coat change, just brush your partner once a week. During this grooming ritual, that you should already practice with your puppy, it is better that I also look in the ears, which should be cleaned with a dog ear cleaner if necessary. A brief claw check should also be performed at regular intervals – usually older quadrupeds or those that only walk on soft ground need support from you in the form of a pedicure. Here a dog clip provides valuable services.
Is a Finnish Spitz right for me??
A dream home for a Finnish Spitz It is a large plot of land in the field to watch over her, including family connection. The breed is suitable for dog lovers with a great sense of independence, who like to move in nature with their partner and who can impart basic obedience to the stubbornness of their four-legged friend thanks to the skill, consistency and calm. He is not a city dog and his barks of joy alone could make him unsuitable for keeping indoors., even if you can have a quiet Finnish Spitz as a roommate through lots of activity and patient training.
As a family dog ​​it is very suitable, provided you have the appropriate occupation and education. It also, is patient and trusting with children with whom he usually has a good relationship – but make sure the four-legged friend can back off if he feels like it. The Finnish Spitz not suitable for hot regions and also not a companion for a beach holiday – loves cooler climates, what is much better for him.
Talking about vacation: Before deciding on this dog, Please also consider that you should be well looked after in case of illness and on vacation. Preferably from someone who already knows you and is familiar with the characteristics of a Spitz. Of course, you can also take it on vacation with you, but before registering it in a hotel, you must be sure that you do not want to charm every hotel guest with your loud voice. So, this type of trip is only possible with a very well bred Finnish Spitz.
Also consider in advance the one-time costs and especially the regular costs that you will have to pay when your new pet roommate moves in.: In addition to the basic equipment and purchase price of a dog from a reputable breeder, there may be considerable travel expenses for a puppy bought abroad. Once your Spitz lives with you, there will be high quality food costs, taxes and insurance for the dog and expenses for regular visits to the vet, including vaccinations and deworming.
Where can I find my Finnish Spitz?
Like many other races from the far north, the Finnish Spitz is a rarity in southern Scandinavia. In many countries not a single litter of Finnish Spitz in a year, so if you have fallen in love with this breed, you will usually have to travel long distances to get a puppy as a new member of the family. Contact the Nordic dog breed clubs, that can help you find a dog of this breed, which is especially popular in its home country, and possibly establish contacts with breeders in Scandinavia. If you adopt a puppy from abroad, there are some things you should consider… Find out in time! Remember: It always makes sense to visit the puppy in the kennel to meet the parents and the circumstances in which the four-legged friends live.. If possible, you should also visit the breeder personally before deciding to buy a puppy from abroad. Here too there is the possibility to sniff each other and ask questions without time pressure. After all, buying a puppy is a matter of trust.
If you want a Finnish Spitz adult as companion, there is little chance in most Central European countries to get a matching dog – maybe you are considering a trip to Finland in the near future and find it there. Otherwise, nordic dog breed clubs will help you on your quest. Maybe a Nordic cross or another breed of Spitz can conquer your heart.
advice: Start looking for your new partner with watchful eyes and an open heart, because many hybrids of Spitz have similar characteristics.

History
The Finnish Lapphund is a robust archetype of dog. In his native Finland he is called Suomenlapinkoira, which is also his official name. In Germany his friends call him Lappi To abreviate. He originally comes from the herding dogs for the reindeer herds of the samis, Laponia, the settlement area of ​​the Sami, extends over large parts of the northern Scandinavian peninsula. Herding the fast and agile reindeer in the rugged landscapes around the Arctic Circle is no easy task. Like this, over many centuries, an extremely robust and reliable working dog was created. Apart from grazing, the Finnish Lapphund accompanied humans during the hunt. In the fields he guarded and protected the families of the samis, who had lived as nomads for a long time. In the shops he warmed his people at night.
This dog, that we hardly know today, it is one of the oldest dog breeds described in literature. Already the great Swedish natural scientist Carl von Linné described the Lapp dog about 1750 with the highest recognition, to mention just one example. About 1900 the Finnish Lapphund was discovered by local Finnish and Swedish dog lovers as a companion dog. It had already become very rare then. First there was the problem of finding the right dogs to create a kennel according to the ideas of modern pedigree dog breeding.. Because the Finnish Lapphund it was a little different in each tribe sami and as in all ancient races, was quite diverse in itself.
A first definition of race was made in 1945 by the Finnish Kennel Club. There he was still called the lappish herding dog. In 1955 was officially recognized by the fCI (International Cynological Federation). In 1967 the name was changed to Lapphund. In 1993 received its current name from Finnish Lapphund. Like the name, also changed the determination of this original and ancient type of dog. Of the herding and hunting dog, modern breed dog breeding made a companion. The appearance was unified and her coat was made considerably longer. But, has remained the herding dog, since he has lived for thousands of years as a companion of samis.
This rustic and very exciting dog is enjoying, with good reason and luck, growing in popularity in recent years.
Physical characteristics
The Finnish Lapphund is a medium-sized representative of the original type dogs. It is a classic Nordic dog, which still shows its former role as a herding dog for herds of reindeer, hunting dog and guard dog. His charisma is breathtakingly sovereign. The Finnish Lapphund currently has a long and robust coat, insensitive to weather. It is a double coat with a rough top coat. It should not be curly. Males also have abundant mane. All coat colors are allowed, but a basic color must be clearly recognizable.
The Finnish Lapphund It has a height at the withers of about 49 centimeters in males and 44 centimeters in females. It is valid that the type is more important than the size. Weight is not prescribed by the standard. Their ears are usually upright. The tail is of medium length and abundantly provided with long hair.. In movement the tail should be curved over the back or to one side, at rest it can be carried hanging. The official standard describes the current Finnish Lapp in this way:
A little smaller than the average size dog, of strong constitution in relation to its size, whose body length slightly exceeds the height at the withers.
Character and skills
The Finnish Lapphund has remained a typical northern dog in its nature. He combines originality and familiarity with his humans in a special way. The loop is not a "one -man dog", Although initially reserved with strangers. Usually announced with loud barks . It is a friendly member of the whole family. Has the qualities of a working dog and a family dog ​​at the same time. But, this requires certain storage conditions (see below). The Finnish Lapphund it still has the features that have made it indispensable as a versatile village helper sami for thousands of years. So it can be understood that this original dog finds its way in the modern world without any problem and is even used successfully as an assistance or therapy dog..
The Finnish Lapphund he is a great companion, simple and docile that radiates a fresh character, rustic and sovereign. it's very peaceful. In general, there is still a lot of hunting instinct alive in Lapps. But, this is pronounced individually very differently. In any case, should generally be easy to control with a bit of common sense. The official standard briefly describes its nature as:
"Bright, brave, calm and eager to learn. Pacific and reliable ». The Lapp is a great friend who deserves a much more important role in the world of dogs. The Finnish Lapphund caresses the soul of his master and caretaker.
Fitness
The Finnish Lapphund easy to train and manage. He is very willing and sometimes forgives mistakes. So it is suitable like hardly any other Nordic dog also for a committed beginner.. The Finnish dog it is not a dog for a flat. The ideal would be a house with a garden. Because at Lapp he likes to stay out, where you want to spend the night or in winter you like to roll up and have it snow. A great experience. The garden should not be thought of as an ornamental garden. To the Lapps they like to dig and dig a little cave.
The Finnish Lapphund they still have the qualities of a herding dog and can still do this job today. But, unlike many other ancient herding dog breeds, is undemanding and does not need constant employment. But, likes to accept challenges, also in the different disciplines of sport for dogs. To the Lapps they do very well as tracking dogs. The lush fur of the Finnish Lapphund requires intensive grooming, especially during the change of coat in spring and summer. Then, especially your house, his car and his clothes will be full of his long hair, even if you brush it every day. The Lapps they are very family oriented and very child friendly. They are excellent companions and at the same time bring a piece of wild nature into our lives..

In this way, you can experience this wonderful experience of an intimate bond between man and dog, especially when you have a close and intimate relationship with your dog.
