Lapponian Herder puppies available. If you love the intelligence and energy of a Border Collie but want something calmer and easier to live with, youll love this breed. The Lapponian Herder comes from Finland, where they were used for generations by the Smi people to herd reindeer across rough terrain and freezing weather. Theyre smart and quick-thinking like a Border Collie, but without the same nervous energy or constant need for work.
Lapponian Herders are more balanced and relaxed in the home. Theyre highly trainable, loyal, and affectionate, but they dont become anxious or destructive if they miss a day of training. They have strong herding instincts but can switch off and just enjoy being with their people. They also handle cold and outdoor life extremely well, thanks to their thick weatherproof coats.
While Border Collies often need constant jobs and mental stimulation, Lapponian Herders are content being both working dogs and calm family companions. Theyre protective without being reactive, great with children and other animals, and much easier for first-time herding breed owners.
Our puppies are home raised, well socialized, and healthy.If youre looking for a rare northern breed with the brains of a Border Collie but a steadier temperament and easier upkeep, the Lapponian Herder is the perfect fit.
