Summary
About Finnish Lapphund
Finnish Lapphunds are medium, sturdy Arctic spitz dogs with a thick double coat and friendly, watchful nature. Bred as reindeer herders, they are people‑oriented, intelligent, bark‑prone, and thrive on daily exercise, mental stimulation, and close family companionship.
About Pharaoh Hound
An elegant, medium-sized dog from Malta with a reddish-brown coat, large upright ears, and amber eyes. Its background as a rabbit hunter is reflected in its speed and strong prey drive. The Pharaoh Hound is friendly, affectionate, and playful, but also independent. It needs daily exercise, mental stimulation, and safe opportunities to run. Its coat is easy to care for, though it may need a warm dog coat in winter.
