Finnish Lapphund UK Health survey
To enable us to monitor the health of the breed in the UK we ask that owners of UK owners complete a health survey for each dog owned by them, and hope that breeders will share the link to any puppy owners who may not be members of the breed clubs – the results will be collated by the Breed Health Coordinator and a report compiled and shared on this site.
