The Finnish Lapphund is not demanding on space, however this is a dog bred for arctic conditions so if you like a warm stuffy home, and aren’t keen on the outdoors or doors being open all day, they may not be for you.
The coat is weatherproof but may pick up considerable amounts of wet and mud, so space to groom and dry off is necessary. A secure garden of a decent size, and access to interesting and varied walking routes are essential.
Given their alert, watchdog nature and desire to herd and hunt, a rural environment will suit the Lapphund better than a city location.
