Maremmano-abruzzese male Helgborg Asso, called Tumppu, is a finnish working dog. It lives in a farm next to Seitseminen National Park in western Finland. Tumppu's work is to guard large yard, sheep, pigs, another dog, cat and hens, and for the present bears and wolves prefer to stay in forest.

Finnsheep
In winter sheep spend time mostly inside, but when the spring comes, they of course like to be out to grass. Most of the ewes will give birth to lambs in the spring, and so in the summer the flock is many times bigger because finnsheep are very fertile, they give birth to two, three or even four lambs.
In lower picture you can see ewe with four lambs, there is three white and one black. Lambs are one day old.
