The purpose of this page is to gather and publicize the history of the Finnish Lapphund in the conformation ring. The information shared is from records gathered via member records, official club records and occasionally Breed Archive. Our goal is to have at least one official document for each event to validate the information shared.

If you have any information (catalogs, premium lists, pictures) to document the events, or changes needed, please contact the Historical Committee.
