Finnish Lapphund

Origin

Finland

Attractive to:

Father Christmas. What other breed is so at home in the Lapland snow and can keep the reindeer in order?

Not the best for:

Those who like a bit of peace and quiet. Finnish Lapphunds are lovely dogs, but they do have the spitz tendency to bark at anything unusual. Or anything.

A bit smaller than a Labrador.

There she blows. Dense undercoat that could stuff a mattress when you start combing it out.

Fluff monster
Buy shares in Dyson - tell people you are wearing mohair if embarrassed

Good first dog?:

Maybe
