The honest version

WHAT THIS DOG NEEDS

The Swedish Lapphund, a Spitz-type herding dog from the northern reaches of Scandinavia, is a breed steeped in history and purpose. Originally developed by the Sami people to manage reindeer herds, this medium-sized dog is known for its dense double coat, expressive face, and a tail that curls over its back. While they have transitioned from working dogs to beloved companions, their heritage still shapes their character and needs.
