About the Book

A successful Finnish Spitz dog breeder writes about life with her champion Finnish Spitz in Canada.

Joan started almost forty years ago by importing the eighth dog into Canada and retired recently, after exporting the very first foreign bred Finnish Spitz into Finland. This book is a wealth of information for anyone interested in raising quality puppies or the Finnish Spitz breed.

About the Author

W. Joan Grant has been actively breeding Finnish Spitz since 1978. She was instrumental in the introduction of the Finnish Spitz breed to Canada and is proud that the Canadian Finnish Spitz is known worldwide for their health and quality of conformation. Throughout her thirty years of breeding, ensuring that the Finnish Spitz remain identifiable as hunters, as they are in Finland, has been one of her highest priorities.

Joan was born and raised in Jasper, heart of the Rocky Mountains. Mother of five, grandmother of thirteen and great-grandmother of three, she displays a certain amount of stamina and determination that few can rival. There is no doubt that her keen mind and principled integrity are imprinted on the genes of the Canadian Finnish Spitz. Today, if you visit Jayenn Kennels, you may just find her astride one of her beloved Morgan horses beneath that broad-shouldered mountain in Golden, British Columbia.
