26 years in the sport of AKC Dog Shows (since 1985)
Producing Top-Winning Conformation Show Finnish Lapphunds in North America.
Since AKC's full recognition of our breed June 30, 3011, Yutori has completed AKC Ch titles on 4 dogs, nearly completed Champion titles on 2 others, and major pointed an additional 2. We have one Grand Champion so far, who is the #2 Finnish Lapphund in America. All of our champions were owner and owner/breeder handled to their AKC Championships. We prove our dogs' worth as excellent examples of the breed by seeking the opinion of judges in the show ring as well as extensive health testing of every dog before considering breeding.

Contact: If emailing with an inquiry, PLEASE include: 1. your name, 2. your address, 3. how you heard about us, and 4. specifics about the information you seek. If your email only asks if we have pups availab *-5 le, we will not respond. Anonymous emails are not answered. Our puppies only go to people we interview and form a relationship with over multiple contacts in advance of placement. Our dogs are family members and we feel responsible for our puppies for the rest of their lives, REGARDLESS of where they live. To that end, we provide a "lifetime support contract" in writing, with every puppy and we REQUIRE that they be returned to us in the event the owner cannot keep them, for any reason. .
--Please Read--
It is important that we emphasize to you, as you read this, just how important it is to us that we produce the very best examples of the breed that we possibly can. We put a great deal of thought and research into our choices, because we want to produce the best companions, the best show competitors and the best performance dogs possible. Our dogs are thoroughly health tested before breeding: OFA Hips, Knees, Elbows, CERF'd Eyes and PRA gene status, Thyroid, AND we do a background evaulation of pedigree to identify, wherever possible, health issues that might be behind those pedigrees. We put our heart, our dreams as well as our time, and a great deal of money into our breeding choices and into the raising of our puppies. A little piece of us goes with each puppy when it goes into a new home and we will always ALWAYS care about the wellbeing of each and every Yutori puppy--from birth until the day they die. So we do not take our placements lightly and we do have high standards for the homes we select. That includes an interview. Dogs should never be an impulse item or a piece of furniture, or a holiday gift. They are our children and our responsibility and they always will be.
