Summary
About Finnish Spitz
Finnish Spitz is Finland’s national dog, a medium, foxlike, golden‑red spitz bred to hunt by “bark pointing.” Lively, intelligent, vocal, and affectionate with family but reserved with strangers, it needs regular exercise, mental stimulation, and typically lives 13–15 years.
About Basset Artésien Normand
Medium French scent hound with short legs, long sturdy body and gentle, noble expression. Affectionate, calm at home and sociable with dogs, but driven by scent outdoors. Needs moderate exercise, positive training, secure fencing and regular care for ears, weight, back and joints.
