ABOUT AAMURUSKO FINNISH LAPPHUNDS

Breeding with love

I fell in love with the breed several years ago, but with the demands of a career that involved frequent travel the timing wasn't right to welcome one into my home until 2018. A trip to Finland with my partner that year solidified the decision that the Suomenlapinkoira (the name in the Finnish language) was the dog for us. They are an amazing breed - smart, gentle, loving and beautiful. One was never going to be enough, and our furry companions soon took over my life. Breeding has been a long term goal, and one I did not pursue lightly - waiting until I was at a point with work that I could take time off when needed.

At Aamurusko, we are active in conformation showing, dog sports, and therapy dog work. We enjoy being involved in the NSW dog community and are always happy to chat and introduce people to our lovely dogs.

Our dogs are cherished family members, and I will only be breeding sparingly, and selectively. I will be aiming to breed puppies that are true to type and fit for purpose - with a focus on health, structure, and temperament.

OUR BREEDING PRACTICES

We believe in setting up our puppies for success, and raise them using gold standard Puppy Culture protocols (including ENS). We limit our breeding to choices that we believe better the breed. We will only ever breed 1-2 litters a year, in order to provide the best standard of care. Our puppies are home raised, and we do not use kennels or outdoors dog yards, and do not employ staff. With a background in health sciences, including genetics and epidemiology, we make careful and considered breeding choices regarding health, and as a result produce healthy puppies and provide a health guarantee.
We complete health testing above and beyond recommended standards for the breed, including eye exam and gonioscopy, hips, elbows, heart (echocardiogram), full DNA panels, and temperament testing.
