About Lapinporokoira (Lapponian Herder) Puppies
Are Lapinporokoira (Lapponian Herder)s a good breed to own?
From Finland, Lapponian Herder or Lapinporokoiras were originally used to herd reindeer. These dogs are hard workers and need daily exercise. On the other hand, they also make excellent family companions and gentle playmates for children. Kids will have a lot of fun teaching their Lapponian Herder new tricks, as these dogs are very smart and quick learners. Full-grown, they typically weigh 60-70 pounds and stand 18-20 inches tall.
Can Lapinporokoira (Lapponian Herder)s live with cats and other dogs?
Lapinporokoira (Lapponian Herder)s are generally okay with older children who know how to handle dogs. Lapponian Herder are very aware of children and have a special patience for these young, innocent little people. These dogs need activity and do best with families who like activity too. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.
Are Lapinporokoira (Lapponian Herder)s couch potatoes or do they need a lot of exercise?
Lapponian Herders have a lot of energy and a lot of brains. In addition to working on a farm, they love to play and learn new tricks. They are a natural in herding trials, but you can also try their paw at activities like agility, obedience, and flyball. Overall, their exercise needs are very high.
How much brushing and bathing does a Lapinporokoira (Lapponian Herder) need?
Lapponian Herder have a dark double coat that looks best with a weekly brushing. Their fur is usually thicker and bulkier around their neck, so it is important to pay close attention to that area. It is also weatherproof, and bathing too often can strip the coat of naturally protective oils. Grooming-wise, this breed is low-maintenance.
Can a Lapinporokoira (Lapponian Herder) live in an apartment?
Lapinporokoira (Lapponian Herder)s are best suited for a rural property or home with a large yard. Their even-keeled disposition doesn’t mean you will see them moseying around the house, though. These herders are used to roaming for miles and miles, but they will also happily romp around a large backyard with you. They are fairly easy to train.

Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
