Temperamento

Finnish Spitz dogs are known for their lively and playful nature, making them excellent companions for families and active individuals. They are highly intelligent and require regular mental stimulation and physical exercise to keep them happy. With their friendly disposition, they are generally good with children and can be quite affectionate with their owners. However, they can also have a strong independent streak, so consistent training and socialization from an early age are essential.

Consideraciones de Salud

The Finnish Spitz is generally a healthy breed with a lifespan of 12 to 15 years. However, like all breeds, they can be prone to certain genetic health issues. Common concerns include hip dysplasia, patellar luxation, and progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). Regular screenings, such as eye exams and hip evaluations, can help detect these conditions early. Maintaining a healthy weight and providing a balanced diet tailored to their activity level can prevent obesity-related problems. Routine veterinary checkups, vaccinations, and dental care are essential for overall well-being. Additionally, their thick double coat requires regular grooming to prevent skin irritations and maintain healthy skin and fur.
