I have a finnish lapphund. When we got to our vaccinating appointment the doctor asked me: "did you resently bathe him?" I answered "yes, for the first time in five years about two months ago, because he started to smell like a dog". The doctor was amused and said that she imagined that my boy was washed yesterday. That is just how fancy and fresh finnish lapphunds are when the coat is rightly formed and you comb them ones in a while. :)

[@Perkelenaattori]

Lapphunds are excellent dogs and like you said, they're very friendly and loyal. The fur is a breed trait because Lappland is a really cold place where the sun doesn't rise for several months during winter and since these dogs herd reindeer, they need warmth. Source: I'm a Finn.

[@jarzez]

I had a finnish lapphund a few years ago, literally the nicest dog ever you can own. They are such delight! As I am from northern Sweden, the finnish lapphund is quite common there alongside it's swedish cousin: the swedish lapphund. Mostly their coat color being the differentiating factor. The name lapphund means "sami dog", samis being one of the indigenous human populations in sweden (+ finland and norway). The lapphund was bred for multipurpose use, but mainly for herding and protecting rain deer. This makes them very smart dogs, able to learn and do anything. Their coat is so thick, allowing them to withstand essentially any amount of cold. Minus 30 celsius (-22F) is literally like a cool summer breeze for these dogs. The dog is also a very healthy breed, like most northern european spitz breeds they can easily grow to around 15 years old. Mine became 16 years old. The lapphund is also a perfect family dog, being so gentle and caring. They are able to relax so easily, but still really enjoying an active lifestyle. Some lapphund facts for you people :D Edit: I thought he wasn't a pure bred lapphund mostly because of his droopy ears, but I've been told below they can have droopy ears. But first time for me seeing one with it, droopy ears are definitely not common!

My grandparents used to have a Finnish Lapphunds for like 40 years. I have very fond memories of getting licked in my face whenever visiting my grandparents when I was a kid. My grandparents are gone now, and so are the dogs. They had always had one, but the last one was the best dog. He was called Jaakko and he was the best dog ever, super smart, super obedient and such a nice dog all around. When he died of old age after a very happy life of farm work and being pampered to pieces my grand parents just never got a new dog, they were so fond of Jaakko. No dog could ever fill the void that he left. A few years after the passing of the dog, both of my grandparents died of natural causes (they were well in their eighties at this point so it's fine). I like to think that they are somehow together with the dog they and I loved so much.

I have a 15-year old Finnish Lapphund. I wish you could wash and brush him, because he absolutely hates brushing - the same reason as you said on the video. The undercoat is amazing. He loves to sleep outside even in - 20 C. So you can just imagine how much there is brushing now when the summer is coming to Lapland... But what a lovely breed, there is no friendlier dog than this!

[@sharonharding3478]

What a majestic dog so beautiful I fell in love with him

[@yareyare9605]

He truly is a fluffball of Joy

[@MrNakki]

OOOH A FINNISH BREED! Torille! Love the Finnish Lapphund, very popular here in Finland ofc and my friend has a lovely boy that I get to dogsit every once in a while. A very kind breed, they can be super active yet chill out pretty easily!

[@NemuriNezumi94]

Are they good inside the house? Had been thinking on getting one at some point

[@Zanzio11]

@@NemuriNezumi94 they are very well-behaved family dogs but they require a fair bit of exercising outdoors every day

[@Croznyj]

@@NemuriNezumi94 In many households they usually have either fenced yard or a large fenced dog pen for Lapphunds. One of my friends has one and he dislikes being inside the house and wants to stay out even during cold winter days. Their dog even has heated kennel in the pen for the dog, but he usually just sits on top of it. That coat really does wonders for them here in the cold.

Torille!

[@peachysandie]

Just to double check, happiness in Finnish is "Illu" right?(or similarly written) It took me a second to get the connection because I speak a Finno-ugric language and the word/pronunciation threw me off for a minute😅 Edit: I saw it written further down in the comments, but I imagine the pronunciation is still similar

[@ozmobozo]

He instantly makes you want to hug him.

[@meganpopple9100]

He's definitely a happy boy. And a fluffy one, too.

You mean he was Finnished. He’s a handsome one and yes looks like a giant Pomeranian. He’s got the perfect coat for those long cold winters.

[@wicckedman]

Hi Vanessa, I just wanted to thank you for showing the breed and Ilo for being such a lovely ambassador. Thanks to this video we got our own Finnish Lapphund, Freya - she just turned one year old. Btw this is super rare breed in Poland and since she has a creamy coat, she gets confused a lot with Samoyeds 🙈

[@billyloomisotherdaughter]

"Elo is losing a ridiculous amount of hair in the dryer"... Smash cut to the biggest fluff ball on the planet 😂😂

[@emiliavalimaki1723]

It is actually written as Ilo. Elo means living or to live. English language has very different way of pronounciation :D

[@Hiekkalinna]

@@emiliavalimaki1723 This confused me as a Finns as well, at first I though the owners named the dog wrong, them thinking Elo means joy, but then realised it was supposed to be Ilo and it was prnounciation that was wrong, not name..

[@kyuutatsu]

Finnish Lappunds are really really sweet dogs! In fact, I feel like the dog breed reflects the people here in Finland, generally pretty calm, kind, and all around welcoming and warm even if they are a bit quiet. My brother in law owns 3 of these beautiful dogs, and I adore them so much.

[@haleymist09]

His must be a happy house, and a hair house! (I want to visit lol)

How much hair is in the house xD

[@heppahullu]

That is, if the dog gets trained properly. I grew up with one and our dog was just like Ilo, big and fluffy and so well behaved. Fast forward to someone I dated for a couple of months; their family’s female Lapphund had absolutely no basic training, no self-confidence, and she was kept outside on a super short leash all year round. Her family didn’t even want to take her for walks because she was so problematic to handle. It broke my heart.

[@jongustavsson5874]

@@heppahullu pretty sure that goes for all dogs. A shitty owner can screw up any dog. Of course, the larger the dog the more of an issue it becomes generally.

Why German for a Finnish Sami dog?

[@kannonniemi]

Finnish language actually has those too :) For example "schadenfreude" is "vahingonilo" in Finnish. It roughly translates to "harm joy", or joy from harm. Another one would be "myötähäpeä", which means second hand embarassment.

[@beccisharp]

"its hard to believe that he is still losing hair" That face as hes smiling at the camera

The bee keeper’s hat is great. I got a tail hair stuck behind my eyeball a couple of times. Long ones. It’s amazing how those things can get completely behind your eyes!
