01-10-2014 – 15-10-2023
With pain in our hearts we suddenly had to say goodbye to our beautiful boy Bosco, too young of age. Nothing wrong that morning at search- & rescue work. He worked very well with a tracking excercise and found a victim in the woods. But suddenly things weren’t going well at home. Immediately to the vet and it turned out that his spleen was ruptured and cancer in the spleen and liver. So unreal … beautiful sweet Bosco has given us so much joy and special moments. RIP very beautiful and smart Finnish Lapphund. I can’t believe he had to leave us so soon. Bosco has left behind beautiful offspring. Hopefully the future will also bring a son of him with his frozen seemen we still have stored …
On October 1st 2014 our second Finnish Laphund Bosco (Valo) was born. Bosco is a son of our Rowan (Simba) and Vita (Lapinlumon Wilhelmiina).
A very special experience to ‘create’ your own puppy. Valo means “light” in Finnish. He is the lightest of the 6 puppies, light-footed and lights up our lives 😉 Bosco is an energetic, but a very smart, social and affectionate man. Bosco has passed the Puppy course and Obedience courses. From the age of 6 to 14 months we have followed various Hoopers courses. Bosco loves to work for you and is also very smart, has a soft character and is really cuddly.
In February 2016 we started the basic course in search and rescue work and in March 2016 with agility. In 2022 we started Detection lessons. Bosco looks for the smell ‘clove’ and ‘Kong’, he is also very good at this! We are currently following training courses in these dog sports. Bosco also has a very nice herding instinct. We regularly attended lessons in sheep herding at Jaap Kremer (Uffelte). In October 2018 we participated in a competition and he achieved a shared second place!
In January 2018, 2020 and 2023 we participated in an avalanche training in Oberstdorf, Bosco did a fantastic job! Also his two kids Taika & Dyri participated and did great work!
🇳🇱️🏆 29 February 2020 Bosco became NL Champion at the International Martinidogshow in Groningen 🏆🇳🇱️
Bosco is still available as a stud for the right girl by insemination. For more information please contact me. We have some breedingsunits of his sperm stored.
