The Finnish Spitz is the national dog of Finland. In its native land, the Finnish Spitz is used as a natural bark pointer. These dogs guide hunters to tree game with their distinct yodel or bark. Contests are held in Finland to choose the "King Barker." The Finnish Spitz is primarily utilized as a housedog in other parts of the world. This breed is a loyal companion, respected in its homeland for its striking fox-like appearance.
