Mustinkulman

Kennel Mustinkulman is a dog-breeding kennel based in Mutala, Ylöjärvi, about half an hour from central Tampere, Finland. Founded by Tuula Harjamäki, the kennel name was granted in 2006, and its first litter arrived in 2008. The kennel focuses on Finnish Lapphunds, a breed Harjamäki has been involved with for around 20 years.

Litters are planned infrequently, with puppies raised indoors and carefully introduced to people, other dogs, cats, household sounds and varied outdoor environments. Puppies are released no earlier than seven weeks old, microchipped, dewormed several times and checked by a veterinarian. New owners receive a puppy package and ongoing support from the breeder; a puppy course may also be arranged for families living nearby.

Puppies are placed as companions or potential hobby and show dogs, with guidance available to owners interested in showing. Harjamäki participates in dog training and activities including obedience, tracking, agility and shows, and is active in Finnish kennel and breed organisations. The website also features kennel news, dog profiles, galleries and a shop
