Finnish Lapphunds are a very ver

Home to the first Finnish Lapphunds in Qld Australia. We are very proud of our Finnish Lapphunds and can state that nearly all New Zealand & Australian Finnish Lapphund kennels have been established from our first breeding pair. We can honestly say that we are proud of where we are heading.

Home to Australia's first Australian Grand Champion Finnish Lapphund, Multi Runner-Up Best in Show, Multi Best in Group winning Finnish Lapphunds under local and International judges & the first Endurance titled Finnish Lapphund in Australia.

Breeder of the only Finnish Lapphund in Australia to win 4 consecutive Melbourne Royals Best of Breeds and the youngest Finnish Lapphund to win an All Breeds Runner Up to Best in Show at only 9 months of age.

We are extremely proud of the Australian Finnish Lapphund interest within the community and show arena.

Finnish Lapphunds are a very versatile dog. They are equally happy sitting by you as they are running the paddocks and playing.

Lapphunds have been successful in Australia already as Therapy dogs, working in schools teaching how to deal with dogs responsibly, obedience, herding trials, showing and agility.

Lappies are a spitz breed so do have a double coat to deal with although this is not onerous at all. A regular bath and brushing will keep your lappie looking great at all times.

Finnish Lapphunds whilst having some hereditary diseases are mostly a very healthy breed. The major genetic problem areas are tested for prior to breeding. This does not eradicate all evidence of these diseases but does provide a little more confidence in what we as breeders are doing to ensure quality pets are provided.

Finnish Lapphunds are still relatively rare in Australia so obtaining one may mean a small wait as there are only a limited number of litters born each year.

More detailed information on the health and history of the Finnish Lapphund can be found on the Lappies In Oz website or on the Finnish Lapinkoira Club site. The attached link is in Finnish but you can gain some very good information from it.

Finnish English

Finnish Lapphunds in Australia are affectionately called Lappies. Lappies make wonderful family pets and companions.

All of our Finnish Lapphunds are Hip tested and prcd PRA tested. We will only breed from prcd PRA clear dogs and those with hip results equal to or lower than the Breed average. Parent testing results are freely and openly discussed with prospective owners.

We breed correct, very typey Finnish Lapphunds who excel in the show ring and are great companions. Our Lapphunds are bred in our home and are well socialised prior to going to their new homes.

We are the Breeders of "Laani", who is Australia's first female Grand Champion and is the youngest Finnish Lapphund to achieve an All Breeds Reserve In Show and of "Blaze" a 4 time winner of the Melbourne Royal Best of Breed Finnish Lapphund. From these initial litters we have bred 2 Australian Grand Champions. The owners of the Australian Finnish Lapphunds that we have bred have used them in multiple disciplines where some have gained their CCD's, Herding Instinct Tests, Responsible Pet Ownership dogs, Therapy dogs as well as many obtaining their conformation titles.

Two of our own imported Finnish Lapphund into Australia have also gained their Grand Championships.
