Welcome to Lapphund Designs, a brand born from a deep love for the Finnish Lapphund breed, outdoor adventures, and the incredible bond we share with our dogs. I’m Jill, and alongside my amazing husband Brett, we’ve built this space to celebrate and connect the Finnish Lapphund community.

Our Story Begins in Castlegar, BC

We live in the beautiful town of Castlegar, BC, Canada, surrounded by mountains, rivers, and endless opportunities for boating, hiking, and exploring the outdoors. Our love for the outdoors inspired us to find a companion to share in our adventures. After extensive research, I discovered the Finnish Lapphund—a breed known for its loyalty, adaptability, and love for outdoor activities. I excitedly shared my discovery with Brett, and we knew instantly that a Lappy was the perfect fit for our family. The hardest decision was choosing which beautiful Lappy color to bring home!

Welcoming Timber to the Family

Our lives changed forever when we visited Bearspaw Kennels in Alberta and brought home our first Finnish Lapphund, Timber. Timber has been by our side ever since, joining us on all of our Finnish Lapphund adventures—whether it’s boating on quiet rivers or hiking up rugged trails. His gentle nature and adventurous spirit have made him the heart of our family.

Expanding the Pack with Tundra

Two years later, we received exciting news—Timber’s sister, Marshmallow, was having a litter! We couldn’t resist the chance to grow our pack, so we welcomed Timber’s nephew, Tundra, into our family. Just like that, our Finnish Lapphund community at home grew, and we couldn’t be happier with our two loyal companions by our side.

The Birth of Lapphund Designs

As devoted Finnish Lapphund owners, we wanted to find products that celebrated this incredible breed. To our surprise, there was very little available online. We searched everywhere for holiday gifts and everyday items that reflected the unique personality of our dogs but found nothing that truly captured the spirit of the Lappy. That’s when we decided to create Lapphund Designs, a brand dedicated entirely to celebrating Finnish Lapphunds and the families who love them.

Our Mission: A Home for Finnish Lapphund Lovers

Today, Lapphund Designs is a home for Finnish Lapphund owners and enthusiasts. We offer high-quality, thoughtful products that reflect our love for this incredible breed—from clothing to home décor, every item is designed with Lappy lovers in mind. Our mission is to build a vibrant Finnish Lapphund community where families can connect, share their adventures, and celebrate the joy of life with their Lappies.
