Puppies may have a good many black hairs which decrease with age, black on tail persisting longer. Muddy or unclear color, any white on the body except as specified, is to be penalized. The Finnish Spitz is quick and light on his feet, steps out briskly, trots with lively grace, and tends to single-track as the speed increases. When hunting he moves at a gallop. The angulation called for permits him to break into a working gait quickly.
Sound movement is essential for stamina and agility.
Shyness, any tendency toward unprovoked aggression is to be penalized. Finnish Spitz are to be examined on the ground.
