First Finnish Lapphund to Attain the Dam of Merit Title

Celebrating a Historic Achievement: Primrose Becomes the First Finnish Lapphund to Attain the Dam of Merit Title

At Orical, we are thrilled to celebrate an extraordinary milestone—our beloved Primrose (A20 CH Sup CH Orical New Beginnings (AI) WNPD WPD ET) has officially earned the prestigious Dam of Merit (DOM) title! This accomplishment makes her the very first Finnish Lapphund to receive this esteemed recognition, and we couldn't be prouder of her and her incredible progeny.

Primrose winning her first Best In Show!

What is the Dam of Merit (DOM) Title?

The Dam of Merit title is awarded by Dogs Australia to exceptional brood bitches who have demonstrated their outstanding contribution to the breed through their progeny's success. To achieve this title, a dam must produce a minimum of five (5) progeny who have attained their Australian Championship title. This is no small feat—it speaks volumes about Primrose’s genetic excellence, temperament, and the quality of the offspring she has produced.

The Progeny That Helped Primrose Achieve This Title

Primrose’s influence on the breed is undeniable, and it is thanks to the success of her remarkable progeny that she has reached this milestone. Each of these Finnish Lapphunds has excelled in their own right, showcasing the quality, temperament, and conformation that Primrose has passed on:

Crash - A20 Ch Aus Ch Orical All Bets Are Off (AI) WNPD
Ruska - Ch Orical Stack The Deck (AI) WNPD
Daisy - Ch Orical Deal Me In (AI) WNPD
Moët - Ch Orical Love At First Sip (AI)
Maverick - Ch Orical Fine Wine (AI)

Each of these exceptional dogs has contributed to Primrose’s legacy, achieving their own Australian Championship titles and continuing to uphold the standard of excellence we strive for at Orical Finnish Lapphunds.

A Legacy of Excellence

Primrose has set a new benchmark for Finnish Lapphunds in Australia, and her achievement as the first of her breed to earn the Dam of Merit title is a testament to her outstanding lineage and the dedication of everyone involved in her journey. She is a shining example of what a Finnish Lapphund should be— wonderful type and conformation, healthy and a great temperament, she is a true ambassador for the breed.

We are beyond proud of Primrose and her progeny, and we look forward to seeing the continued success of her lineage. This achievement marks just the beginning of an exciting future for Orical Finnish Lapphunds!

Congratulations, Primrose! Your legacy is well and truly secured.
