A little about us

Aamurusko Finnish Lapphunds are located in the peaceful suburbs of Canberra. I fell in love with the breed several years ago, and finally welcomed my first “Lappie” Loki four years ago. I soon became obsessed with the breed and welcomed a second, Salla. I am active in conformation showing, dog sports, and therapy…

Why we got involved in breeding

Becoming a breeder has been a long-term goal and seemed like the natural progression of my Lappie obsession. They are an amazing breed - smart, gentle, loving, athletic and beautiful.

Our special touch

My dogs are cherished family members and as such, in order to provide each of them with the attention and quality of life they deserve, I will be keeping my numbers small and will breed sparingly, only when the timing is right, and to puppy families who I know can provide a safe, loving and caring forever home.
