Finnish Spitz

Like most spitz breeds, the Finkie is independent and somewhat stubborn, although more hunting oriented. It is alert, inquisitive and playful, but it is also sensitive, tending to be devoted to one person. It is generally good with other pets, but it can be aggressive to strange dogs. In keeping with its barking heritage, the Finkie is proud of its barking ability! This is an active and lively breed that needs daily exercise.
