The Swedish Lapphund is a breed of dog of the Spitz type from Sweden, one of three "Lapphund" breeds developed from a type of dog used by the Sami people for herding and guarding their reindeer.

History

The Sami people of northern Europe (who consider the term Lapp to be insulting) used Spitz type herding dogs in managing their herds of reindeer for a very long time. Such dogs were not of modern breeds of documented heritage, and did not have a fixed appearance, but rather were a landrace type of herding dog. Although Swedish and Finnish dog fanciers began collecting information about the type in the 1930s, most of the dogs were lost as a result of World War II. After the war various breeders in Sweden and Finland began to try to recreate the lost reindeer herding dogs in their various forms. [Finnish Lapphund Comprehensive Owner's Guideby Toni JacksonPublisher: Kennel Club Books (September 2003)ISBN-10: 1593783744ISBN-13: 978-1593783747pps 11-14] In Sweden, the result was the Swedish Lapphund.
