Finnish Hound Puppies For Sale

Nose always to the ground, Finnish Hounds are Finland's most popular hunting dogs. Finnish Hounds are energetic and dedicated trackers in the field but become calm and collected at home after a long day's work. Full-grown, they typically weigh 45-55 pounds and stand 20-24 inches tall.

Finnish Hounds are generally good with kids, especially when raised together. Needless to say, these dogs do well in a large home with an even larger yard. They're relatively quiet and don't bark much.

Finnish Hounds enjoy any activity that utilizes their keen nose. They love to be a hunting companion and will also enjoy it if you create a scent trail for them. To do this, run their favorite treat through the grass and leave it at the end of a long trail. Overall, their exercise needs are high.

These medium-sized scenthounds have a distinctive white-striped face and tri-colored markings. Grooming requires light maintenance; take a firm bristle brush to a Finnish Hound’s short, coarse coat once a week to manage dead hairs and reduce shedding. Their long, floppy hound ears do a lot of work funneling scents toward their nose and need to be checked regularly for signs of infection. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.

Finnish Hounds are best suited for a rural property or home with a large yard. Not only does their high-energy personality not enjoy small spaces, the Finnish Hound’s loud voice quickly carries throughout an apartment complex. Needless to say, these dogs do well in a large home with an even larger yard. They are moderately trainable with consistent effort.
