About the Finnish Lapphund
Finnish Lapphunds are a little below average size, but robustly built. Slightly longer than they are tall at the withers, they have a long, thick coat and erect ears. As their name suggests, Finnish Lapphunds originate from Lapland where they were traditionally put to work herding reindeer.
Now though, their friendly personality and strong desire to please make them excellent family pets who, thanks to their loyal, loving nature, form strong bonds with their owners.
