The type was originally bred by the Sami, who needed solid, brave dogs to protect and herd reindeer and this became the Swedish Lapphund’s primary chore.
Swedish Lapphunds are lively, vigilant, kind and affectionate dogs that are very receptive and willing to work. Their qualities as a guard and herding dog meant they were very useful in reindeer farming. These highly versatile dogs are well suited to obedience and agility training, herding, tracking and more. Swedish Lapphunds are quick studies that don’t run out of puff easily.
