    How To Find a Dog With a Good Temperament

    Deciding on a dog can be both exciting and perplexing. The one thing we all want to know is how our new dog's personality will reveal itself.

    Understanding why a breed was created, and the country and climate it initially came from, can help you understand what to expect in terms of behaviour and character.

    Some breeds require much more attention than others. A breed's true temperament can also take time to cultivate: the boxer's spirited and extrovert nature means it takes longer to mature than other breeds.

    The puppies of particular breeds could be very hard work in the early weeks but can make fabulous adult dogs.

    There are seven types of dogs:
    • Gun dog
    • Toy dog
    • Utility Dog
    • Hound dog
    • Terrier
    • Working dog
    • Pastoral


Finnish Spitz Temperament Personality

Finnish Spitz Information

The Finnish spitz has a foxlike appearance, incorporating the typical traits of a Northern breed: small erect ears, dense double coat and curled tail. It is square-proportioned, and without exaggeration, quick and light on its feet. It has the conformation and temperament to hunt actively and tirelessly under the coldest of conditions. Its double coat, consisting of a short soft undercoat and harsh straight outer coat about 1 to 2 inches long, provides insulation from the snow and cold, allowing it to hunt tirelessly under the coldest of conditions.

Like most spitz breeds, the Finkie is independent and somewhat stubborn, although it is more hunting oriented than other spitz breeds. It is alert, inquisitive and playful, but it is also sensitive, tending to be devoted to one person. It is a breed conscious of its place in the dominance hierarchy, and some males can try to be domineering. It is good with children, and generally good with other pets, but it can be aggressive to strange dogs. It is reserved, even aloof or suspicious, with strangers. In keeping with its barking heritage, the Finkie is proud of its barking ability and likes to show it off — loudly!
