ANKC breed standards are the guidelines that ethical registered breeders use to help them make decisions in their breeding. The standard provides a blueprint, describing the ideal characteristics, temperament and appearance of the Finnish Lapphund breed, ensuring that the dog is sound of body and fit for function. 

Through the combined efforts of the Finnish Lapphund Clubs of Victoria and NSW and in consultation with breeders across Australia, the ANKC also recognises a Breed Standard Extension, which provides an even more detailed set of guidelines for the appearance of the Finnish Lapphund. It is based on the original document used to train judges in Finland and endorsed by the Lappalaiskoirat Ry (The Lapphund Club of Finland).
