Dedicated to this rather unique and wonderful Spitz. I've been owned by Lapphunds since 2009 and they still find ways to surprise and amuse me.

  • A family-focused dog with a keen intellect. Happy to train and show off what they know as long as they're getting paid.
  • Smart enough to skip to the end if the training becomes monotonous or if they can't see the point in continuing.
  • Through our selective breeding, our Lapphunds are motivated, keen and active companions.
  • As a spitz breed they have primitive roots: independent, stubborn, and determined. Especially noticeable during adolescence.
  • With early and consistent training, you'll have a best friend for life. Without it, you are setting yourself up for unnecessary trouble.
  • They're often described as a Border Collie with an 'Off' switch.
  • They need to be with their family. They're not ok to be left alone in a backyard.
  • They don't want to miss a thing. Ready in an instant for a game, a walk, road trip or training, they are always 'nearby'.
  • They're known for barking and digging (to keep cool in summer). Barking can be minimalised with training, Digging can be redirected to avoid the prize garden.
  • They're known for their addictive properties: Most owners don't stop at one.
  • Life is always interesting with a Lappie by your side.

There are often many km's travelled and a lot of behind the scenes training for those few minutes in the trial or show ring.
As a very proud breeder/owner and a loud advocate of 'doing more with your dog', I'm so very proud of the achievements of our show and sports dogs.
As a busy, preoccupied, and easily distracted individual, I can't keep track of all their accomplishments and forget to publish and brag about some of those wins and titles.
Mostly because the results don't really matter as long as they're living their best lives and having a great day out.
Of course, we also have a number of wonderful, loved and adored pets keeping their owners' hearts warm and their bodies active.
To all of our puppy owners, we send a special thank you for your dedication, care, love, and companionship. 

We raise our puppies using an adapted form of the Puppy Culture and Avidog protocols. Click the Heart to learn more.
