Lapponian Herder

Have you ever heard of the dog breed Lapponian herder? It is an old Finnish breed, it has for centuries helped Sami herding reindeer. It is a healthy breed, perfect to work with. Many trains Lapponian herding dogs in obedience, service and agility with good results. It is simply the perfect all-round dog.

About a month ago I started taking an interest in the breed and I have been looking for a kennel near here but with no luck. Recently, my sister moved to a new apartment, and the weekend that was, I was there and helped her move. I met her neighbor and it turned out that she had several Lapponian herding dogs and that she actually had a kennel where she breeds this particular breed. So this weekend I'll get there and meet her dogs, and who knows, maybe I own my very own Lapponian herder soon ....
