Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Lighthouse Lapphunds and Leos by the Sea located in Harwich, MA. We love to responsibly raise and train our puppies so they have the tools to be well-rounded, beloved family members. Over the years we’ve learned valuable methods for socializing our puppies. Each litter has a clean and safe environment to learn and grow so they have the best chance of becoming amazing family members! Brian and I are retired and devote ourselves full time to this and love it.
