Basic Description: Known in its native Sweden as Norrbottenspets, The Nordic Spitz is a medium size breed, very clean with no doggy odor, and a
quiet house dog. Averaging about 25 pounds when grown, the breed was developed as a hunting dog and requires a moderate amount of
exercise. Small, more or less white spotted or piebald multipurpose hunting dogs have lived with the Finnish inhabitants in North Botnia
(Norrbotten), Finland, Sweden, Lappland and Kainuuland as long as there have been wilderness settlements. South of this region lived a more
solid-colored Spitz dog from which in the late 1800´s kennelmen started to breed the Finnish Spitz, the National Finnish dog breed. The
white-spotted hunting Spitz was left out of the breeding program of "The Barking Finnish Bird dog." No official standard yet.
