Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
do recommend puppy preschool and dog obedience classes weekly for at least the first 15 months of their lives where they can learn to appropriately socialise with other dogs and become the kind of non-reactive companion you can take just about anywhere.
Health
We choose calm even-temperament dogs for breeding. I choose sires that are generally over the age of 4 and bitches that are 2-4 years old for their first litter. I place a high priority on maintaining genetic diversity within the breed, and this goes hand in hand with breed health. Over half of our planned…
Home environment
We whelp and raise our very young puppies in a separate room inside the home, close to specialist vets ‘just in case’. From 4 weeks puppies are moved to 'the farm' and have access to ample outside clean grassy lawn play areas and toys as well as other textural experiences like gravel, concrete, dirt and water play!…
Included with our puppies
Our puppies are microchipped, wormed and fully immunised. We provide some toys, kibble and ongoing support with access to a social media group and information pack outlining training & neutering recommendations, ownership care and 'what to expect' support. Puppies are gorgeous but teenagers need love support and…

Additional Tests
Bucolick Finnish Lapphunds conducts 5 additional tests available for the Finnish Lapphund.
Genetic Test
Canine Multifocal Retinopathy (CMR) is a genetic disorder causing local detachment of the retina in young dogs. It does not always cause impaired vision or blindness but can in severe cases. There are three types of CMR affecting different breeds. A DNA test is available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
This is a disease affecting the spinal cord of older dogs, initially causing wobbliness and eventually hindlimb paralysis. It can affect a wide range of breeds. There is now a DNA test that can indicated if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
Physical Test
These breeders have had x-rays taken on their breeding dogs to assess the quality of their elbow joints. Dogs with very low ‘elbow scores’ are less likely to develop elbow problems in the future and less likely to pass hereditary elbow problems on to their puppies.
Genetic Test
GSD II, or Pompe Disease, is a rare glycogen storage disease that can affect Finnish Lapphunds. It can cause poor growth, muscle weakness, vomiting and heart problems. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
Genetic Test
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) in dogs is a type of genetic eye disease causing deterioration of the retina and eventually, blindness. There are a variety of sub-types of PRA, which can occur in various breeds. There are various DNA tests available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.

About the Breeder
A little about us
All enquiries are best directed via my website at www.bucolick.com Hi, I'm Jenn from Bucolick Finnish Lapphunds. We were dog-free busy professionals for 20 years. Then in 2016 we realigned our priorities and bought a farm! Two gorgeous Lapphunds joined the family. We've never looked back.
Why we got involved in breeding
We were after a 'forever breed' to be part of our family for a very long time. I searched for a healthy, friendly, even tempered and conformationally moderate breed. Finnish Lapphunds ticked every box.
Our special touch
There are a bunch of our past puppies who have their own insta accounts and so honestly the best way I can introduce you to our breeding is to show you. If you like what you see, get in touch. Via Email on the website, via rightpaw or via instagram. @bucolickfarm (our insta account) @vaderthelappie (crumpet and…
