In order to comply with copyright requirements of authors, artists and photographers of material used, the contents must not be copied for commercial use or any other purpose. Under no circumstances may the Standard or Extended Standard be placed on the Internet without written permission of the ANKC Ltd. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY For hundreds of years the Lapps have used dogs of the same type as the Finnish Lapphund as reindeer herders and watchdogs in Finnish Scandinavia and in the northern parts of Russia. Because of these dogs, the first standard of the Lapponian Herder was established by the Finnish Kennel Club in 1945. The breed name was changed to Lapphund in 1967. In the 1970s, the type and picture of the breed became fixed and the standard has since been updated several times. The breed name was changed to Finnish Lapphund in 1993. The breed type has become stable in a short time and today the breed is very popular in the whole of Finland, mainly as a house and hobby dog.

Abstract: Congenital deafness is prevalent among modern dog breeds, including Australian Stumpy Tail Cattle Dogs (ASCD). However, in ASCD, no causative gene has been identified so far. Therefore, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and whole genome sequencing (WGS) of affected and normal individuals. For GWAS, 3 bilateral deaf ASCDs, 43 herding dogs, and one unaffected ASCD were used, resulting in 13 significantly associated loci on 6 chromosomes, i.e., CFA3, 8, 17, 23, 28, and 37. CFA37 harbored a region with the most significant association −21 (−log10(9.54 × 10 ) = 20.02) as well as 7 of the 13 associated loci. For whole genome sequencing, the same three affected ASCDs and one unaffected ASCD were used. The WGS data were compared with 722 canine controls and filtered for protein coding and non-synonymous variants, resulting in Citation: Xu, F.; Shan, S.; Sommerlad, four missense variants present only in the affected dogs.
