Meet the breeder
I'm Holley U., the breeder behind Maalattu Koirankoppi Lapponian Herders located in Prattsburgh, NY. I strive to produce genetically and physically healthy Lapponian Herders. As a long time admirer of this amazing breed, after owning them and loving them, I decided to become a breeder since the number of these dogs is so few in the United States. The versatility of these dogs is undeniable.
Q. & A. with Holley
Why did you start breeding?
My love for the breed and their quiet, sensible demeanor as herding dogs. There's so few and breeders in the US, I decided I want to help promote and preserve this amazing breed.What makes your program special?
What makes my program special is my puppies are raised in my home, exposed, desensitized and started on a basic education program. Parents are tested and matched accordingly to ensure the best cross for quality and functionality.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver, black and tan, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
