Finnish Lapphund puppies born on the 5th of May by Loihakka Lokan Rauta-airo (pet name Joiku) out of Cantavia Riekonmarja (pet name Alma). There are two dogs and two bitches, all black/black & tan. This is a low-risk breeding in terms of Addison's, Cushing's and epilepsy (although there are some epileptic dogs among the near relatives of some dogs further back in the pedigree), while the risk for hypothyroidism is roughly on par with the breed average. As for other health issues and defects, there are some cases of cryptorchidism/monorchidism on both sides of the pedigree, and the dam of the litter has a hip score of C/C. Go to KoiraNet to see the puppies' pedigree.
