Apologies if you have written to me via my Contact Form & I haven't replied.  This year has been extremely busy for me with a large work project & I hadn't gotten around to editing Weebly to reflect my email address change, so I wasn't receiving the Contact Form & with no litters planned for 2020, I simply forgot about it! :-(
I will now set aside time to reply to everyone.

Sadly I had to say goodbye to my beloved Sisko in February, she was just two month's short of her 16th birthday.  What a fabulous dog she was!

This website is hopelessly out of date, please follow us on Instagram (@TabanyaRuuLiz), Facebook or TikTok (@FinnishLapphund)
I do hope to update this website over the winter period :-)


CRUFTS 2019
We had a super Crufts!
Miika took Reserve in Veteran Dog.
Nukka won Best Puppy Dog & 2nd in Junior Dog.
Kissa did amazingly well, winning Limit Dog (the biggest class of the day with 15 dogs present)
Onni wasn't placed in his very large class and I was so proud of Ruuli who took it all in her stride.

More photos on my Facebook Group (joining link further down the page)

​Welcome to my website, where I share the love I have for my dogs & this wonderful breed.  I am so proud of my dogs and those that I've bred - I hope you enjoy it. 

I live in Surrey, in the UK and have  loved Lappies for 20 years.    My story began in 1998 when I got my first Lappy called Smuu and then Tuukka - I have now bred five generations & made countless friends - Lappies do that to you!
You can learn all about my dogs on this site and hopefully get a good 'feel' for the breed as well.  If you are attracted to beautiful dogs, inside and out, that have a brain and can be your companion for any number of dog sports, you have definitely found the right breed (and come to the right place!).
If you start by hovering on the About button you will then get the Menu which has all the links to info about the breed including FAQ etc.  If you want to see the dogs that I've bred, hover on the Breeding Tab at the top of the homepage, then click on Litters Born at a Glance.  Sadly I have horrific WiFi where I live, so uploading photos is excruciatingly slow bordering on impossible, I therefore tend to post photos to my TabanyaRuu Facebook Group & also to Instagram - use #TabanyaRuuLappy to search for dogs I've bred & to follow their own accounts.



Please follow me on Instagram - @tabanyaruuliz
& check out our YouTube Channel for over a decade of cute videos.


You are welcome to join our Facebook Group for lots of TabanyaRuu dog photos.  This is the most current place for seeing photos of TabanyaRuu Dogs. 


If new to the breed I recommend joining the Finnish Lapphund Advice (Behavioural & Training) Group I set up on Facebook.  They are not Cavaliers in a Lappy body, they thrive on being mentally stimulated, this amazing breed need owners with bags of enthusiasm!  Lappies have the most gentle of temperaments, particularly with people and children.  My Salo was an active PAT Dog participating in the Read to Dogs Scheme at a local infants school & also visited a nursing home for residents with dementia.
Salo also loved Rally Obedience, another super sport to try with your dog.

 November 2017 - I still can't quite believe it but sadly Salo suddenly became very ill & was diagnosed with terminal cancer.  We lost him on October 21st at the age of just 5 years a few days after his diagnosis - we are beyond devastated.
Just a month earlier Salo took Pastoral Group 3 at Richmond Championship Show under Graham Hill - he appeared perfectly well, looked amazing and as always, gave me his all.  What an incredible dog.

The site is always work in progress, I'm constantly adding photos & videos, so do check back often.  Please do not hesitate in contacting me if you would like to know more.  If you wish to enquire about going on a puppy list, please do read through this page first.  Liz.
