Added some pictures in case you don't know what these breeds look like... The list looks quite different than the list in U.S... We got lots of mutts too, but not even half as much as you do.

Finland is a small country, only 5 million people living here, but it's a huge dog country. Over 40 000 puppies were registered in Finland last year. One of the biggest dog shows in Europe is held in Finland, over 8 000 dogs entered the Finnish Winner show last year and it's not uncommon to have over 3 000 dogs in an all breed show. Many Finnish breeders and judges are highly respected abroad. I think there's over 200 different dog breeds in Finland. Finland is a member of FCI.
