This little beauty is Azula, our adorable cream puff and only girl from our Emo litter. We are so blessed to have her in our lives and have some exciting plans to hopefully welcome little cherubs from her in 2026 ❤️

She’s not a seasoned show dog by any stretch, only really coming out to specialty shows…but she does so well and this year was no exception.

We adore our little Zuli and thank her family for being such a huge part of ours ❤️

How many pictures do I need of Diaz running after bags??
All of them, of course.

A few snaps from a collection of trials over the last few months. Diaz has earned her second sprint dog title now after passing 250 points at our last one…next stop, 500 points! She freaking loves this sport and who am I to stop her doing what she loves…the smile on her face says it all.

Mr Ryker at the 2025 specialty at over 12 years old. The old man had such a good day and he was so happy to eat all the snacks, get the cuddles, have a little prance around and do the pretty standings in the veterans class. It was so lovely to be on the end of his lead again ❤️.
His last show appearance was the 2019 Vic specialty, so of course, I had to buy some pictures.

These days he often plays second fiddle with shows and sports to the youngers ones…but does occasionally come out as gazebo security and sideline snack thief…and takes his yearly appointment as breed ambassador at the Dog Lovers Festival very seriously.

We’re eternally grateful to his breeder Ros for all her encouragement and support all those years ago, and for trusting us with her special little “Crispello”.

We’ve had a busy few weeks with the specialty and a camping trip away so we’ve been a little absent…thought I’d add a little dump of some camping snaps from our trip to Big River…I’ll post more later.

Yesterday we had Vader and Pip on the stand…I sometimes forget Pip is still a baby so it was a MASSIVE day for her. Vader was her usual happy self doing all the tricks, posing for photos and taking all the attention from anyone willing to give her snacks or scratches.

I often forget to take pics, so it’s lucky we have any 🤣.

I did manage to snag one of the rare occurrence of two sables on our stand! Pip with her handsome as heck great uncle Skipper.

Another successful year at the dog lovers show, with a fabulous group of people, promoting our amazing breed on the stand…as well as connecting with old friends and new ❤️

What are you doing this weekend?

Obviously the correct answer is coming along to the Dogs Lovers Festival at the Melbourne Showgrounds! We’ll be on the stand (E321) all weekend flying the lappie flag high with our crew, along with other breeders and owners and a big group of lappies ready to accept your belly scratches and adoration.

If you’ve ever wanted to meet some lappies in the fur, or just find out more about the breed, this weekend is a great opportunity to do so!

We’ll even have some cool limited edition lappie stickers you can pick up while you’re there.

Hope we see you there! Pic of Ryker and Vader from last years dog lovers.

Another year, another Michael Ellis seminar.

Had a cracker time, meeting Josh Moran and Carol Ellis, finally putting names to faces I’ve heard so much about, meeting new friends and so so many laughs. Pretty sure I also beat the ground speed record for making it first to the coffee van each day at lunch 🤣.

A weekend full of dog training talk, nature, politics, and a complete distain for my choice of footwear…surprised no one kicked me out to be honest.

Thanks and for another awesome event, and thanks for coming out to Australia again!

We have a JAM PACKED month ahead with seminars, sports, royal, dog lovers festival, specialty…it’s all happening!!

If you want to meet some lappies, ours or others, mark your calendar because October is a great month to make some time to come along to an event or two!

🐾 👑 1st October: Lappie day at the Melbourne Royal! There are 31 entered!

🐾 💨 4th October: Sprint dog at KCC park in Skye, this is an all day sport event likely with a number of lappies entered!

🐾 🐶 25th & 26th October: Dog Lovers Festival at the Melbourne Showgrounds! The Finnish Lapphund Club of Victoria will be hosting a stall again, so it’s a great place to get your fix of all things lappie, chat to breeders and see all the cool dog vendors and activities.

“Lappies are such a versatile breed” is a line that was said to me over the weekend a number of times from complete strangers.

So I got to reflecting the last month or so with what some of our Ehana bred dogs have been up to, and it’s honestly quite astounding! We have owners out there putting in the work daily to make sure their dogs are fulfilled and living their best lives, which I ADORE!! And then we have those going that extra mile and taking the plunge in to the world of dog sports.

Our dogs have been represented at various comps, seminars and training clubs for agility, scent work, rally, tricks, sprint dog, canine disc…and not just representing, but well and truely holding their own in tough competition gaining passes, podium places, and new titles!

Teyla (Ehana Anastacia (AI) ADX GD JDX RM SD SPD SWN TK.S) earned:
🎉 Rally Excellent title
🎉 Rally Masters title
🥇 2nd place in Advanced Interiors in Scent Work (out of 47!)

Valkyrie (Ch Ehana Breakfast at Tiffany’s (AI) JD N.SPRD RN JD TK.S*) earned:
🎉 Novice Sprintdog title
🎉 Trick Dog Starter title
🥇 1st place Novice Agility 400 (out of 8!)

Diaz (Ch Ehana Dirty Little Secret (AI) N.SPRD TK.S*) earned:
🎉 Novice Sprintdog title
🎉 Trick Dog Starter title

The frothies whilst too young to compete ‘offically’ have been out at seminars, training, foundation classes and fun days learning all about:
Agility
Sprint dog
Scent work
Canine Disc
And by all accounts, having an absolute blast doing it! I can’t wait to see them hit the the sporting rings.

Marceline (Ehana Bohemian Rhapsody (AI)) has been out at scent work clubs and this weekend a sprint dog fun day having the best time learning all about it.

Azula (Ehana Edge of Glory (AI)) had her first crack at sprint dog on the weekend and had a ball!

And not just the dog sports, but to all our owners doing the daily grind and putting in the hard work…nothing brings me greater joy than seeing the pictures and hearing all about the fun and little/big wins you’ve all been having in your training. I’m so proud of you all, you guys rock ❤️
