Field Spaniel

The Field Spaniel is a long-legged, long-coated type of hunting dog that originated in England. Field Spaniels are known for their friendly nature and make good family dogs. In addition to being good with children and other animals, field Spaniels were originally used for hunting large game such as deer or foxes. Today they are primarily used as retrievers in waterfowl hunts, but they can be trained to hunt other game such as quail and rabbits.

Finnish Lapphund

The Finnish Lapphund is a spitz breed that is also known as the Lapinporokoira. This breed can be found in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Russia and usually weighs between 30 to 45 pounds. The history of this breed dates back to when it was used by people from Lapland to herd reindeer. They were also used by fisherman on Lake Inari because they have webbed feet which makes them excellent swimmers.

The Finnish Lapphund has a double coat that includes a thick undercoat with a long, coarse outer coat that comes in many colors including red, brown, black and white with black markings on their faces. These dogs are strong-willed but are affectionate towards children and other animals including cats and other dogs.

Finnish Spitz

The Finnish Spitz is a dog breed that is native to Finland and it has a robust and muscular body. It has long, straight fur that reaches all the way down to its paws. The coat is usually white with black markings, but you will also find them in red, brown or grey. The Finnish Spitz is an active dog that loves to play both indoors and outdoors.

They are very intelligent dogs that have been bred for hunting skills so they require lots of mental stimulation. These dogs are friendly with their family and other people they know but because of their high prey drive they can be aggressive towards strangers. They make great pets for someone who lives in an apartment or home with a yard as they need a lot of exercise each day.

Flat-Coated Retriever

The Flat-Coated Retriever is a breed of dog in the retriever family. They are bred for hunting waterfowl, and were originally used to retrieve shot birds from lakes. The Flat-Coated Retriever has an elegant appearance and was recognized as a breed in 1913 by the American Kennel Club. 

Their name derives from their flat, wavy coat which may be black, brown or gray in color with spots of white on their chest and paws. Average height is 23-25 inches (58-64 cm) at the shoulder and weight ranges from 65 to 80 pounds (29 to 36 kg). Their tail is traditionally docked short and they have webbed feet for swimming.

French Spaniel

The French Spaniel is a breed that has been around since at least the 15th century. They are believed to be descended from Spanish water dogs and poodle crosses, as well as English Toy Spaniels. This is a small dog, about 12-16 inches tall, and usually weigh between 10-18 pounds. This dog is known to be an intelligent breed and very loyal. They are affectionate dogs by nature. 

It is also an easy dog to train because of these traits. It can make a good family dog because it can get along with children, family members and other pets in the home. They are an athletic dog ,but few drawbacks of this breed include: their need for exercise, barking, grooming needs, and tendency towards shedding.

French Bulldog

The French Bulldog is a breed that originated in France, where it was bred for many years to produce a small companion dog. Their name is derived from their country of origin, and their squished face makes them look sad or snobby to some people. They are usually white with either brown or black markings, but can be any color. French Bulldog’s have a short coat and curly tail that make them the perfect lap dog for your living room couch. They are a medium-sized dog. But most of all they are a friendly dog. We also love the american bulldog, which is a most popular breed, but starts with the wrong letter, lol.
