RebelGold Finnish Lapphunds

Larissa S.

Breeder of Finnish Lapphunds

Meet the breeder

I'm Larissa S., the breeder behind RebelGold Finnish Lapphunds located in Monson, ME. We breed and show our dogs out of a love for and dedication to the protection and betterment of the breed. When we bring a life into the world, we make sure it gets the best start possible. This includes proper health care and socialization for each puppy, but it starts even earlier than birth. We set our puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, conformation, ability, and drive. Our goal is to produce well-balanced puppies and find them loving, responsible homes.
