Next Breed: Finnish Lapphund Previous Breed: Fila Brasileiro

The Finnish Hound (Suomenajokoira, Finnish Bracke) is a breed of dog originally bred for hunting hare and fox.

History

The Finnish Hound was a result of a breeding programme in the 1800's, which involved French, German and Swedish hounds. It has become Finland's most popular native working breed. Although it is very popular in Finland and Sweden, it is quite uncommon elsewhere. 

Appearance and Size

The coat of the Finnish Hound is short, dense and coarse to the touch. The coat pattern is tricolor with tan, a black saddle and small white markings on head, feet, chest and tail tip. Height is commonly 20-24 inches (52-61cm) and weight 45-55 pounds (20-25kg). 

Personality

The Finnish Hound is friendly, calm and never aggressive. It is energetic in the hunt and is a versatile tracker. It works independently and pursues the quarry with passionate barking.

Puppy and Senior Dog Diet & Feeding my Dogs!

Disclaimer! So don't leave uneaten food out, lessen food amount if dog doesn't finish it, if your dog is eating food to fast, take it to the vet as it may be sick, clean water should ALWAYS be available, and always have a consistent feeding, walking or bathroom time. Mine are: Walk after every meal, which are given at 7:45 am and pm. Exception to the occasional garden bathroom breaks :) Thanks for watching! I hope that this was very informative!
