Description

The Finnish Lapphund is a hardy and intelligent breed known for its distinctive thick coat and alert expression. Originally bred as a herding and hunting dog in the harsh Nordic climate, they are now popular companions. Despite their size, they are energetic and require plenty of exercise. Their thick double coat requires regular grooming to prevent matting. Early socialization and training are crucial to ensure they are well-adjusted and friendly with other pets and people.
