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 Stabyhoun
The Stabyhoun is a rare Dutch farm and gundog: medium‑sized, athletic, with a silky feathered coat that sheds seasonally. Gentle, sensitive and people‑oriented, it suits active families, needs daily physical and mental work, and is generally healthy when responsibly bred.
