Way back about 8 or 9 years ago Neka became the first Finnish Lapphund to win the Show Certificate of Merit, at a time when it was the only title available for Lappies to win. It's a Kennel Club award that dogs can achieve through success at open shows, collecting points for Best of Breed, Best Any Variety Not Separately Classified and Group wins.
I am thrilled that, with Jane, Emmi has become the first Infindigo Lappy to win the title and she now officially has some letters after her name.

There was cake. There might even have been a bottle (or two) of Prosecco as well.
Not only did Emmi get her ShCM, but she got the last few points she needed (with some to spare) in fine style by winning Group 1 at Chippenham & District Society show under judge Barry Blundon. Here she is strutting her stuff with Jane in the group.
Emmi has many strings to her bow - in addition to having her Show Certificate of Merit, she has also recently been confirmed as a
Pets as Therapy dog and is now waiting for her first placement. She is also the first Infindigo to do that. Beauty, brains and terrific character - Neka and I are so proud.
