Peikko is a very handsome gentleman of a dog.  Living happily with the cairns at Glenchess.

 

Elaine Short never intended to buy a male Finnish Lapphund, having booked a bitch puppy from the litter, but his handsome head won her over.

 

 Peikko's was 

Top Finnish Lapphund for 1999 & 2000.

 

 Top Import Register Pastoral Breeds 2000.

BOS Lapphund (to his mother!) 2001

 

and is current Top Lapphund for 2002

Peikko is now the second FL to be invited to The Contest of Champions, and the only FL to compete at the event 

(his dam was invited in 1998 but too busy with pups to attend!)
