Official breed club in Finland, Finnish Hound Association – Suomen Ajokoirajärjestö - Finska Stövarklubben ry versio b//SAJ/ Auli Haapiainen-Liikanen 24.12.2014 proved History of the breed In Finland in the beginning of 19th century there were in addition to the Finnish country dogs also many dogs resembling the European hound breeds.The systematic development of the Finnish Hound breed can be said to have begun when hunting enthusiasts established Suomen Kennelklubi, a precursor of the Finnish Kennel Club, in 1889. One of their first desires was the development of a hound-type breed for Finnish conditions. As the breeds introduced to our country from abroad, primarily Russia, Sweden and England, did not meet the requirements of the Finnish hunting community, a group of active hunters began to search the existing Finnish dog population for individuals with the best hunting traits. The aim was to breed a native hound-type dog from them. The first standard was written in 1932. The breeding associations in different parts of the country were very important to the development of the breed. Three dogs were selected from the first dog show arranged by Suomen Kennelklubi and eight more were added the next year. The first breed characteristics were determined on the basis of these dogs in 1893. Reddish brown was confirmed as the approved colour.
