Introduction: Understanding the Finnish Spitz breed
The Finnish Spitz is a dog breed that originated in Finland and is known for its fox-like appearance. They are medium-sized dogs that are friendly, active, and intelligent. Finnish Spitzes were originally bred for hunting birds and small game, and they are still used for that purpose today. They are also popular as family pets because of their loyalty and affectionate nature.
Shedding and coat types in dogs
All dogs shed to some extent, but the amount and frequency of shedding vary depending on the breed and the individual dog. Shedding is a natural process that helps dogs get rid of dead hair and keep their coat healthy. There are two main types of coats in dogs: single and double. Single-coated dogs have a topcoat of hair that is short and smooth, while double-coated dogs have a topcoat of longer hair and a soft undercoat of fur. Double-coated dogs shed more than single-coated dogs because they have more hair to lose.
