TUNDRAI is a dedicated Finnish Lapphund breeding kennel located between Sydney and Brisbane, Australia. Founded by Melanie Pritzer, TUNDRAI has been passionately breeding these remarkable dogs since 2010, focusing on producing structurally and temperamentally sound, healthy, and fit-for-purpose Finnish Lapphunds. The kennel is home to nine beautiful Lappies, some of whom have excelled in various disciplines such as conformation showing, obedience, tracking, herding, flyball, and agility. However, their favorite pastime remains snuggling with their humans.
At TUNDRAI, the breeding philosophy emphasizes health and temperament, with all breeding dogs undergoing extensive health testing, including DNA profiling, eye testing, and heart evaluations. The kennel is committed to improving the breed’s health through careful research and pedigree studies, ensuring that each puppy is raised in a loving environment utilizing proven Puppy Culture protocols. TUNDRAI aims to find active and involved homes for their puppies, fostering a community of responsible pet owners who appreciate the unique qualities of the Finnish Lapphund.
As a member of the Finnish Lapphund Club of Victoria and the Hills Dog Club, TUNDRAI actively participates in dog shows and events, promoting the breed and connecting with fellow enthusiasts. The kennel offers ongoing support to puppy owners, including a comprehensive raising guide, access to a dedicated Facebook group, and lifetime mentorship. TUNDRAI is not just a breeding business; it is a community that values transparency, health, and the well-being of both dogs and their families.
