Hip dysplasia
Elbow dysplasia
Obesity (especially if exercise is limited)
Routine vet checks and keeping your puppy at a lean weight during growth phases are key to preventing long-term issues.
Feed your Finnish Lapphund puppy a well-balanced, high-quality diet formulated for medium breed puppies:
Offer 3 meals per day until about 6 months old, then reduce to 2 meals daily.
Look for foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and calcium/phosphorus balance to promote joint and bone development.
Avoid overfeeding, as the breed can be prone to weight gain.
To control their thick double coat and minimize shedding, Finnish Lapphunds need weekly brushing with a slicker brush or comb. Seasonal "coat blows" call for extra care. To prevent removing their natural, dirt-resistant oils, they only require bathing every two to three months or when they are unclean. Paw pad trimming and line combing for the undercoat are essential requirements.
Finnish Lapphunds are naturally active and agile, with a moderate to high energy level:
Engage them in short walks, play sessions, and gentle training exercises during early months.
Avoid high-impact activities like running or jumping on hard surfaces before 12 months to protect developing joints.
The Finnish Lapphund is a hardy and intelligent herding dog that originated in the Arctic regions of Finland, where it was traditionally used by the Sámi people to herd reindeer. This breed is known for its friendly demeanor, quick learning ability, and calm, affectionate nature. With a thick double coat built for cold climates, the Finnish Lapphund thrives in active households and is well-suited to colder environments.
Finnish Lapphunds are a medium-sized breed, with adults typically weighing between 33 and 53 pounds. Since they are a spitz-type dog with a sturdy but not oversized frame, growth tracking is important to ensure proper skeletal development and to prevent issues such as joint stress or obesity, which can compromise their agility and long-term health.
