Please note I am no longer breeding.  I may however be able to point you towards a few good breeders who share my passion for genetic diversity and breed versatility.  Breeding is far more than just a box ticking exercise and prize cards.  Drop me a line.

   WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE!!

It's out of date oh and it's a bit boring.  People don't really use websites much these days do they, so that's my excuse.  I would delete it but it does have some useful info on it but more importantly it has lots of photos (many of them old) of lovely TabanyaRuu dogs.  Weebly has gone a bit awry and it looks like I've now lost some of my functionality to include header and buttons, because I don't wish to purchase a monthly plan.  If you scroll across the top you should be able to access my pages..

I love Finnish Lapphunds & have owned them since 1998.  I have been breeding them as a hobby since 2001 & am an Assured Breeder (since 2009).  I have now decided to retire from breeding.


To really get under the skin of the breed (the good, the bad & the ugly), I recommend joining the following group that I set up.  It has over 3500 members & is a fabulous resource.

Finnish Lapphund Advice (Behaviour/Training) Facebook Group

These are amazing dogs.

Thank you for visiting :-)  Liz

There's a huge variety of activities you can do with your Lappy. Here's me handling Kissa (TabanyaRuu Onnea Kissa) at Crufts.
