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. In addition to a
natural mating, it is also possible to purchase his sperm, this is already stored.
