This breed similar to the Harrier was created by Tammelin, a Finnish metalsmith, by crossing German, Swiss, English, and Scandinavian hounds. The Finnish Hound is believed to have existed since 1700 and is known for hunting fox, hare, elk, and lynx.

Known since the 18th century, the Finnish Hound was developed by using a variety of English, German, Swiss and native Scandinavian hounds. Although the breed is popular and widespread in Finland, he is uncommon elsewhere. After hunting hare and fox with his master in the summer, he spends the long winters warm and cozy indoors with the family. He is rarely exhibited.

The Finnish Hound was a result of a breeding program in the 1800's which involved French, German, and Swedish hounds. The Finnish Hound has become Finland's most popular native working breed. Although it is very popular in Finland and Sweden, it is uncommon elsewhere. Hunting season for a Finnish Hound is Sep - Feb. He is rarely exhibited.

Friendly, calm and never aggressive, yet a energetic in the hunt, the Finnish Hound is used as a hunting dog for hare and fox by following the scent. Eager to hunt also in difficult circumstances. he works independently, he is a versatile tracker and pursues the quarry with passionate barking.

He is a rangy yet strongly boned hound much like a large foxhound. Probably a gift from his German ancestors, his singular ears are large with stiff cartilage, making them stand out somewhat from the head. He is friendly and calm in temperament, yet energetic in the hunt.
