The Finnish Lapphund Club of Great Britain is the founder breed club in the UK club and is recognized and supported by the Royal Kennel Club.

Our aims are to protect and further interest in the breed. We work to promote the health and well-being of Lapphunds, to encourage the breed type and to offer advice to new and prospective owners.

The Sami (Laplanders) have an old proverb: “Give the first bite to the dog and it will work harder than you”. When the Laplanders and the dogs found one another no one knows, perhaps it happened from time immemorial.
