puristusliitoksiin

Puristusliitoksiin, also known as puristusliitos or puristusliitoskoira, is a breed of dog originating from Finland. The name translates to "squeezing dog" or "squeezing dog breed," referring to the breed's distinctive method of hunting. Puristusliitoksiin are medium-sized dogs with a sturdy build, typically weighing between 20 to 30 kilograms. They have a short, dense coat that comes in various colors, including black, white, and various shades of gray. The breed is known for its strong, muscular body and powerful jaws, which are well-suited for their hunting style.

The puristusliitoksiin's hunting method involves using their powerful jaws to squeeze and hold onto prey, such as small mammals, until the hunter can retrieve them. This technique requires a strong bite force and a sturdy build, which are characteristic features of the breed. The dogs are also known for their intelligence and trainability, making them suitable for various roles beyond hunting, including search and rescue, and service work.

Despite their hunting origins, puristusliitoksiin are generally good with children and other pets when properly socialized. They require regular exercise and mental stimulation to maintain their health and happiness. The breed is relatively rare and is not widely recognized by major kennel clubs. However, they have a dedicated following among Finnish dog enthusiasts and hunters.
