I've recently gotten a Finnish Lapphund and it's been a cool breed to train and work with.

Contrary to this meme, his system can't handle dog foods, chicken, pork, etc. The part of the world he's from and what they're bred to do, his diet needs to be gamey meats, bones, organs, lots of random limbs, and fatty fish. Basically any far north small game he'd catch himself, or the leftover parts of a carcass after the Sami people took all the meat off. Just years and years of years of that bred in. He's only 16kg so far but has a rather large set of teeth for crushing bone and shredding frozen meat. The back crushers are insane.

So while he's a cute boy...

Even at just a few months old, his teeth be scary...

Edit. Just made his dinner. Bit of venison organs/meat leftovers, frozen goose neck, frozen sardine, and a rabbit foot for good luck. It's what a tundra dog craves.
