Oor die ras
The Finnish Hound was developed in the 19th century from Scandinavian, German and other European hounds, and has long been one of the most popular breeds in Finland. Unlike many pack hounds, it is used to hunt hare and fox on its own, driving the game towards the hunter with its voice.
It is a friendly, calm dog at home, usually good with children and visitors. Outdoors it is energetic and determined, able to work for hours in snow. It needs lots of exercise and safe areas, and it suits active owners who understand how strongly a scent hound follows its nose.
Het jy geweet?
Finnish Hounds are traditionally hunted singly rather than in packs, driving hare or fox in a circle back towards the hunter.
