Edge is the favourite of our boys, born from the joint litter between Articmal and Armahani Kennels, and known affectionately as Hot Chocolate (the English translation of his Finnish Name Kaakao) before he was named by his joint owners Mat and Tanya Brady of Yobhonden Kennels.

He was a standout right from his birth, impressing us all the way along with his substance and lovely strong head. We were delighted to assess him at 6 weeks of age and find that he was living up to his promise, beautifully structured and balanced, and with a calm and confident temperament. Especially pleasing have been the positive comments I have received about Edge by experienced Finnish Lapphund breeders from other countries.

Mat and Tanya had been speaking to us for a while about taking on a puppy from our coming litter in joint ownership for showing, and we were delighted to be able to offer them Edge. He is living with them in Queensland where they will be showing him, and we are confident he will do all of us very proud as well as provide them with a very loving pet.

Edge is from the first litter by a girl we owned jointly for a couple of years, Kya (Watersedge Tru Diamond (IID)), herself from the first imported in dam Finnish Lapphund litter in Australia, and a lovely girl with some beautiful Lapphunds in her pedigree.

His sire is the stunning young brown import from Sweden, Tarka (Fjällfarmens Ummiko (Imp Swd)) owned by Magpielane Kennels. I got to see Tarka for the first time when he was about 15 weeks old and only just arrived in Melbourne Quarantine, and just completely fell in love with him. It is quite a joy to now own one of his beautiful sons.

We are really looking forward to posting up lots of news about Edge's success in the show ring, and wish Mat and Tanya every success with him.
