Caring for a Finnish Lapphund

Health

Generally a healthy breed; hip dysplasia and progressive retinal atrophy can occur.

Nutrition

A quality diet matched to this breed's active herding-dog background.

Grooming

The thick, weatherproof double coat needs regular brushing, more during seasonal shedding.

Training

Intelligent, alert, and eager to learn — trains well with positive reinforcement and needs real daily activity to satisfy its herding instincts.

About the breed

A Finnish spitz breed historically used to herd reindeer north of the Arctic Circle, combining a northern-dog look with a genuinely herding temperament.

Friendly and empathetic — among the friendliest of all breeds once it's satisfied you're not a threat — Finnish Lapphunds were never bred as guardians, and are notably submissive toward people.
