He enjoys the companionship of people and especially other dogs. He is a little shy until he knows he can trust you, yet he is a wonderful watch dog.

Trixie is a young adult female Spitz mix. She is amazingly intelligent and strives to please. Trixie had been abandoned at one of our rural dumpster sites, but now resides with a wonderful foster family.

A hunter of small game and birds, the Finnish Spitz directs his hunter to treed game with a distinctive ringing bark or yodel and points to the prey with head and muzzle. Although breeders crossing them with other breeds nearly led to their extinction in the late 1800s, two Helsinki sportsmen recognized their native dog’s excellent qualities and salvaged the breed.She has been spayed, vaccinated and dewormed and is awaiting her perma... 08/17/2011
