A huge thank you to everyone who visited us at the Dog Lovers Festival this past weekend! 🐶💙 We loved seeing so many friendly faces, both familiar and new, and sharing our passion for Finnish Lapphunds with you.

From endless pats and cuddles to answering all your great questions, our stand was absolutely buzzing with excitement. Events like this remind us why we love being part of the dog community, it’s not just about showcasing our beautiful Lappies, but also about connecting with people who care as much about dogs as we do.

Whether you stopped by to meet a Lappie, picked up information, or simply had a chat, we’re so grateful you took the time.

Networking & Collaboration 🤝

We also loved the opportunity to network with pet related vendors and discuss exciting future collaborations. It’s always inspiring to see how vibrant and innovative the pet services industry is, and we’re proud to be part of such a forward thinking community.

Thank YoU Volunteers 🌟

On Sunday, our wonderful volunteers included:

Danielle Giacovani
Troy Richardson
Harrison Mills

We couldn’t have done it without you!

A Special Shout-Out 🎉

A HUGE thank you to Danielle for organising the club’s stand at the show. So much time and effort goes into making this possible, handling the paperwork, organising and re-stocking the club’s resources, sourcing new promotional materials, coordinating volunteers, liaising with the Dog Lovers Show organisers, setting up on Friday, manning the stand across the weekend, packing down Sunday night, and then cleaning, organising, and packing everything away for the next event. It's a mammoth effort and your dedication keeps our club's breed stand running smoothly, and we’re so grateful. 💙
