This is the English version of this database.

Colours of the Finnish Lapphund
This site shows the rainbow of colours that Finnish Lapphunds come in (including those that would be incorrect in a show dog). While it is completely in Finnish, this translation of the menu items may help you work through it:
Kokomusta ja kokoparkki - solid black and solid brown.
Merkkivariset - marking variations (refering to the tan or cream pattern markings).
Kerma ja keltainen - cream and yellow.
Riista ja sudenvari - wolfsable and wildcolor.
Sininen - blue and lilac (dilute blacks and browns).
Soopeli - sable.
Domino - domino.
Manttelikuvio - saddle pattern (incorrect in a show dog).
Brindle eli raidallinen - brindle or stripes (incorrect in a show dog).
Silmalasikuvio - spectacles on dogs of various colours.
Valkokirjava ja valkoiset merkit - white with spots (incorrect) and white markings (correct).
Kaikki varit pennuilla - examples of colour variations on puppies.

Finnish Lapphund Photo Album
Taru Jääskeläinen is a photography student in Finland who takes many beautiful photos of various Finnish Lapphunds at shows, trials and at play. This is one of her groups of photo albums, specifically for shows and trials, although if you follow the link at the top of the page you can find other photos of her Lapphunds and those belonging to her friends (be warned you can spend hours getting lost in wonder in here). I owe Taru thanks for allowing me to use some of her photos on this web site.
