Taito is a big cuddly bear of a Lapphund with excellent conformation and a temperament that is truly outstanding. He is gentle, wonderful with children and other animals and he never goes looking for trouble - even with other males. He happily makes friends with anyone who is willing. He even cohabits with another male Lapphund, chickens and a house rabbit, as you can see from the photos above.
He has a cheeky sense of humour and loves to have his chest and ears scratched. His hobbies are chasing non-house rabbits and lazing around.
I'm so very proud of this wonderful boy and I'm delighted that I have a beautiful litter of puppies sired by him. You can find links to see them as individuals on their litter page.
