Adopting a Finnish Spitz

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an Finnish Spitz - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

You can adopt a Finnish Spitz at a much lower cost than buying one from a breeder. The cost of adopting a Finnish Spitz is around $300 in order to cover the expenses of caring for the dog before adoption. In contrast, buying Finnish Spitzes from breeders can be prohibitively expensive. Depending on their breeding, they usually cost anywhere from $800 to $1,200.

The easiest way to adopt a Finnish Spitz would be through a rescue specializing in Finnish Spitzes. A great place to start is by starting a breed search on Adopt a Pet. The search will show you all the available Finnish Spitzs in your area.

Finnish Spitz fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Finnish Spitz is the national dog of Finland.

The Finnish Spitz breed was almost extinct by the late 1800s, but was brought back to life by two Finnish hunters named Hugo.

The Finnish Spitz used to be referred to as the "Finnish Barking Birddog," for its propensity to chase game up a tree and bark to alert its masters of the game's whereabouts. A "King Barker" Finnish Spitz is crowned annually in Finland.
