Q&A
answer · Lapponian Herder
Absolutely, my Lapponian Herder needs a job all the time. Whether it’s fetching the mail or helping with some outdoor chores, he’s always eager to participate. These dogs thrive on having a purpose, and if they don't get one, they can become a bit mischievous. Engaging him has made a huge difference in keeping him happy.

Absolutely, I would get another Lapponian Herder.
answer · Lapponian Herder
Lapponian Herders are fantastic with children! They are generally friendly, playful, and protective. My kids love playing with our Lapponian Herder, and he has a gentle temperament with them.
answer · Lapponian Herder
I can totally relate to that! My Lapponian Herder just seems to thrive on activity. We often go for long hikes too, and it's like he gets more energized with every mile. It's fascinating how these dogs were bred to work with reindeer, so their endurance is no joke. If your pup is anything like mine, it's all about keeping them busy or they’ll find their own fun!
question · Lapponian Herder
My trainer recommended scent work over endless fetch. Was it worth trying?
