In order to offer a membership to all who have an interest in the Finnish Spitz breed, the Club offers five types of membership. If you are simply interested in the breed, or have owned a Finnish Spitz for less than one year, an Associate membership is available. Your membership includes the monthly publication, The Finnish Line, as well as access to the Members Only section of the website. The five types of membership, open to all persons who are in good standing with The American Kennel Club and who subscribe to the purposes of this club, are:

Regular (voting) Members
