We are very pleased to announce that our Čakča (Autumn) litter has arrived!

This is our third Taigakoira litter, with seven lovely puppies arriving April 5th 2012. We were surprised with two creams in the litter (both male) with the other five puppies all tri colours (one male and four females).

This litter is from the pairing of our lovely girl Tasha (Janoby Clear the Way) with Janoby Kennels Elliot (Aus Ch Because I Am). Both Elliot and Tasha are PRA-CH clear by parentage, are eye tested clear and are hip and elbow scored below the breed average. They come from lovely, typey lines, and Elliot recently won Best in Show at the first Finnish Lapphund Open Show (Dec 2011) against a strong field.

For more information on the Čakča litter please see our Litters page.

Well, the time has come to say good bye to our Bierdni  babies, and while this is a time of great excitment, we are also a little sad that our happy and very sweet babies have left us for their new lives.

While it feels rather odd not to have 8 little Lappies running around(!), we know that they have gone to the best possible homes and that they are being doted upon by their new families.  Certainly, from the regular updates and photos taken by their new mums and dads, it is clear that they are  all settling in well!  We will update our Bierdni litter page soon with pics of our little ones in their new homes, but we know we shall also be seeing a few of these babies in the show ring, so stay tuned for more news over the next few months.

In the meantime, however, we have had confirmation of the pregnancy of our very gorgeous girl, Tasha (Janoby Clear Future) to Elliot (Aus Ch. Janoby Because I Am). 

Tasha was our first Lappie here at Taigakoira, and has the outgoing, friendly nature that typifies the breed. Indeed, she is usually the first to greet our visitors, and always manages to get the first pats! 

Elliot is rather striking boy, and recently attained his Australian Champion title.  He also won Best in Show at the first Finnish Lapphund Open Show (2011) against very strong competition, and the year before won Best in Show at the Working Dog Club Group 5 Breed Match

We are hopeful of some lovely babies from this pair soon, so stay tuned!
