LUMI earned his HIC in early November 2012

ALL of our dogs were owner-handled to their AKC Champion, and Grand Champion titles.

New AKC Champion Lapinlumon Nuoskalumi 'Lumi' is the FIRST Cream Champion Finnish Lapphund in AKC breed history!

He finished his championship on 9/17/11.

Lumi is OFA prelim good hips, normal knees and elbows, CERF'd, PRA free.

He has oustanding, exceptional pigment and uniquely dark eyes for a cream Lappy.

Lumi is not at public stud. He may be available (by private agreement on a case by case basis) at stud to Champion* females with all of their clearances (OFA hips, knees and elbows). Prospective mates should also be PRA Status known/tested PRcd gene (via optigen), and with a recent brucellosis test. Lumi will also have a current/recent brucellosis test prior to any breedings. He has already been tested for brucellosis (negative).

* We prefer to breed to finished champions. However if the female is of exceptional conformation quality and pedigree, we are willing to discuss individual situations.

Ch. Lumi was bred to Ch Niisku--and produced four puppies on Feb 19, 2012; 3 females 1 male, all brown with full bright tan markings. All puppies are in conformation show or performance homes.

Lumi is the first and so far the only cream AKC Ch in breed history.

AKC and UKC Ch. Lumi is our latest import puppy. From Lapinlumon Finnish Lapphunds in Denmark, Lumi represents the bloodlines of some of our all-time favorite dogs; Shacal Geisha and Lecibsin Hukkaputki, to name a few. Lumi's sire is the fabulous young male, Lapinlumon Elamanilo (who is racking up titles and now BIS wins all over Europe), and his dam is the lovely Danish Ch Lapinlumon Kiiski (a Geisha daughter). We were looking to incorporate Ilolas (Elamanilo) into our lines, and when this puppy became available, Lynn and I could not walk away from such a fabulous opportunity.

Although Lumi is cream, unusual in the US for now, we chose him for his outstanding pedigree , breed type and structure. We believe that those attributes always transcend color. We would have chosen him no matter what 'allowed' color he was. We accept that we will need to educate judges to look at structure and breed type instead of focusing on the cream color, although with his exceptional pigment it is very striking. As it stands, Lumi has become the first AKC Champion cream Finnish Lapphund in breed history, a record that will stand forever.

Thank you so much Sarah Brandes, for your hospitality while I was in Denmark, and for allowing such a lovely, sweet boy to come live with us.

Lumi began his AKC Show career in the last weekend of July 2011 at Waukesha, WI and immediately picked up two 4-pt majors. He followed that up in Racine with a 5 pt major and finished with a 3 point major in September, 2011, becoming the first cream-colored AKC Champion Finnish Lapphund in AKC history.
