Our Breeding Practices

Behaviour and socialisation

Visits start early with friends and from 4 or 5 weeks we invite future puppy owners and plenty of willing helpers (children and adults of all ages) to play with the puppies and help us introduce them to new things. They're provided with periods of socialisation and daily environmental enrichment opportunities…

Health

Health and temperament of the parents through their pedigrees are well researched in the planning stages of a litter. Health checks of mothers (and fathers if local/owned by us) are routinely conducted and their maturity and suitability to carry and raise a litter is of utmost importance to us. Our Puppies are DNA…

Home environment

We have 3 adult dogs and no children and live on a small acreage property. The whelping box is set up in a room where Mum is comfortable and not stressed before and after her puppies are born. Puppies are raised in our home. As Mum settles into motherhood, our interaction with the puppies increases. Usually by 3…

A little about us

I've had a lifetime passion for dogs and after serving in the Navy for over 13 years, I was so excited to finally put down roots and bring home my first Finnish Lapphund. Now, over 15 years later and together with the love of our friends and supporters, we breed Finnish Lapphunds under the Caleebra prefix. You can…

Why we got involved in breeding

I stumbled across the breed by chance in 2007, and could have never predicted the impact of the Finnish Lapphund on my life. They are more than I ever could've imagined in a companion and, as a bonus, love training; both for fun and for competition. We attend conformation dog shows and train in Tricks, Obedience and…

Our special touch

Preservation of a breed needs passionate and willing owners. Some of our puppies are kept in partnership arrangements with their new owners. We want all our Lappies to live their very best life, with the same dedication and devotion we give to our dogs here, but recognise the dogs will have more fulfilled lives with…
