Introduction

The Finnish Lapphund is a sturdy, medium-sized spitz-type known for its lush coat, friendly eyes, and agile movements. Originating from Finland, this breed exhibits a keen intelligence and a calm, gentle temperament. Ideal for families, they adapt well to various living situations and are excellent with children. Their thick double coat requires regular grooming, especially in shedding seasons. With a high activity level, Lapphunds thrive on exercise and enjoy participating in dog sports.
