Rowan (Simba) 04-12-2011 / 13-12-2024

He was our first Finnish lapphund Yesterday we had to make the difficult decision to let Rowan go You didn’t move so fast anymore, but you also became an old man of 13. But when you started drinking more and urinating longer, it immediately turned out to be wrong. Metastases in his spleen and liver and probably also his pancreas because glucose levels were much too high. It would be an ordeal of and only a few more days and you don’t deserve that, because you are the best dog we could ever have wished for So loyal, so sweet and such a stable character A bit stubborn, but that suited you so well! That’s partly why you made us laugh so often. That sweet beautiful head that did everything for a cookie. I could always read your mind so well. So many new hobbies and friends because of you. You were also such a nice dog to work with. Very strong sniffer and searching for people in the forest was the best. You have become one of the oldest search & rescue dogs of our cozy trackingclub. You liked agility, until you had to run serious courses and did not get a cookie for every jump Balance & coordination is the best thing I could have done for your body when you turned 8 years old until now. Your body was so strong. Herding sheep, and still starting detection at the age of 11 4 times avalanche workcourse, that was the biggest party! Training and rolling around in the snow. We always took you with us on our vacation and adventures, you were so easy Super father and grandfather for many beautiful kids. Your beautiful son Bosco, you were such a nice couple together. And luckily your youngest daughter Nova was also able to learn a lot from you, you gave her peace and we are so grateful that we still see a part of you in her We were so thankful for every day with you Rest in peace dear perfect Rowan We will never, ever forget you, because 13 years is really a whole part of our lives

Rowan is our first Finnish Lapphund and he is really our big buddy.
He was born on December 4th 2011 and is a very sweet darling. From the first moment we came in contact with this breed, we were both instantly in love. Such a beautiful appearance, super character, not too big, eager to learn, smart, relaxed at home, and super with kids.
Rowan is a real versatile working dog, with whom I have since followed various obedience courses, agility and sheep herding training and we are currently very active in search and rescue work and balance & coordination training. In February 2014 we passed the admission exam for the Alfa group of SLRHW and we train regularly. At the end of January 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2023 we participated in an avalanche work in Oberstdorf (southern Germany), an unforgettable experience. In 2025 we hope to participate again!
This year we started detection training with Rowan, this boy is never too old to learn and earn cookies 😉

Rowan is a very healthy boy and available as a stud dog. He is very easy going, social, sweet, a real pleaser, a dog that doesn’t look for any confrontations. Very stable character, cannot be fooled by anyone. He is now the father of 40 healthy offspring, with whom I have regular contact. If you want more information about our boy, please contact me. It is still possible to purchase his sperm, this is safely stored.
