The Finnish Spitz Society was founded in 1971. This was approved by the Kennel Club and the Society was then first registered in 1972. The original membership was around 120 members, and as at 31 December 2016 there were 132 members.
The objects of the Society are stated in the rules as:
“To make the breed and its qualities more widely known, to assist owners and breeders in every way and to encourage the breeding, showing and judging of Finnish Spitz to the recognised standard of Finland.”
