Are Finnish Lapphunds good with cats?

Yes, Finnish Lapphunds are often good with cats and can happily share a household with their feline counterparts. They were not bred to be hunters and don’t possess a strong prey drive, although some Finnish Lapphunds may need extra support in not chasing or attempting to herd their kitty friend. 

Proper socialization from a young age, which includes positive interactions with cats, can help them develop respectful and peaceful relationships. However, as with any dog-cat introduction, it’s crucial to supervise initial interactions and provide guidance to prevent any misunderstandings or conflicts. Some Finnish Lapphunds may be naturally more tolerant and curious towards cats, while others might need more time, training, and a longer period of scent-based intros before face-to-face meetings to adjust to living with them peacefully.
