Behaviour and socialisation

We leave no stone unturned when raising our puppies. Our puppy enrichment program has been tried and tested to suit lappies and is adapted from some of the leading puppy raising programs around the world, such as puppy culture, avidog and badass breeders. *4-8weeks* We begin by slowly introducing puppies to the…

Home environment

*birth-4 weeks* Our puppies are raised in the home. They start their first weeks in our temperature controlled lounge room in a safe and secure whelping box, where mum has free access to come and go as she pleases. We sleep next to them and keep a very watchful eye on the babies to ensure everyone is happy and…

A little about us

As long as I can remember, I’ve had a fondness for working dogs, spending my childhood training border collies, German shepherds and cattle dogs. For 15 years, Lappies have had such an amazing impact on my life and I hope to bring this same joy and love to many others in the future. Our prefix 'Ehana' is a play…

Why we got involved in breeding

After acquiring my first Finnish Lapphund Heidi in 2011, my world was flipped upside down. I had never met a breed of dog so unique and so full of character. My partner and I raised her and trained her and loved her so much, she had a way of pushing us to want to do more for the breed. In 2013 (and living in…
