Finnish Lapphund puppies for sale in Manitoba

Breed history

The Finnish Lapphund, or “Lappie,” is a versatile and intelligent breed originally developed by the Sámi people of Lapland (spanning Finland, Sweden, and Norway) to herd reindeer. This spitz-type dog is known for its thick double coat and lively, friendly demeanor. Over time, the Finnish Lapphund transitioned from a herding companion to a beloved family pet. While their herding roots remain, they are equally valued for their affectionate and adaptable nature, making them a popular choice in Finland and beyond.
