Lapinkaunis I Want It All

Date of Birth: February 27, 2020
Owned by: Midnight Island, Daniel Nash & Stonecroft
Bred by: Kirsten Holebaek (Lapinkaunis)

Bandit is our Danish import who we brought to the US in the middle of the Covid pandemic. He has been a great asset to our program and the breed here in the United States and we are so grateful to the Holebaek family for sending him to us!

Bandit is a confident and happy dog who is just a true showman. He lives to be in the ring and while he is retired from actively showing now, he still comes out here and there for fun.

He consistently has produced confident puppies that excel in the show ring, performance sports and as loving companions.

Bandit is shared with Cheryl Minnier of Stonecroft Finnish Lapphunds

*Bandit is only available on a limited basis to approved females*
