Oor die ras
The Swedish Lapphund is an old Nordic breed used by the Sami people to herd and guard reindeer in northern Sweden. It is a typical spitz with a dense coat, pricked ears and curled tail, and is still uncommon outside Scandinavia.
At home it is friendly, playful and good with families, and it enjoys training more than many spitz breeds. It likes being active with its people and handles cold and wet weather with ease. It can be vocal, a trait from herding work, and needs both physical and mental exercise.

Unlike the multicoloured Finnish Lapphund, the Swedish Lapphund is usually solid black or dark brown, and black is the most common colour.
