Finnish Lapphund puppies (2 dogs & 2 bitches) born on 10 Apr by Hiittanan Koda out of Cantavia Riekonmarja (see Alma's page). Go to KoiraNet for the pedigree of the litter. All are tentatively spoken for so no enquiries please.
This is a low-risk pedigree in terms of hereditary diseases, although I'd like to point out that one of Koda's litter siblings has been diagnosed with a rare autoimmune-related eye disease called extraocular myositis, and one of Alma's sons from her first litter has a hip score of D/B. Alma herself and two of her litter brothers have hip scores of C, so one of the main reasons why we chose Koda to sire this litter was his excellent hip score and EBV. In addition, their temperaments complemented each other well and they do not share any of the same conformational faults. Both Koda and Alma are on the smaller side, so we do not expect the puppies to grow particularly tall.
