Resumen
The Finnish Hound (Suomenajokoira) is by far the most popular hunting dog in Finland, with more than 30,000 specimens registered annually — an extraordinary percentage for a country of only 5 million inhabitants. Developed in the late 19th century by Finnish breeders from European scent hounds, it was specifically selected to hunt hare and fox in the snowy and forested terrains of Finland.

Temperamento y personalidad
The Finnish Hound is a balanced, friendly dog with a gentle temperament outside the field. It is known for being one of the calmest and most controllable scent hounds, very affectionate with the family and extraordinarily patient with children. Its hunting bay is melodious and frequent during work, but it is quieter than many other scent hounds at home.
