History
|
The first dog came to our family in 1987. She was a Bearded Collie bitch Jane. Jane was taken for obedience and companion. And what a wonderful companion she was to all our family especially to the children. Jane did very well in obedience and shows and turned out to be an excellent breeding bitch. She produced some progenies who have managed excellently in obedience, agility and shows. Jane suddenly passed away one spring day on 12th May 2000. She left so big a hole in our hearts that nothing or nobody can ever fill it. |

Then two years later came the first Border Collie Mike. He was very eager to do obedience, agility and everything I could think of. He had a short and successful show career. He could never be used for breeding because of his hip dysplasia. But nevertheless he lived a happy life giving us a lot of joy and fun. He lived almost 15 years. His speed and energy didn't ever decrease. |
 |
In December 1991 Jane had a litter of seven puppies. One of the girls never left us and so we got our Nuppu. Nuppu got her title (FIN CH) very quickly and she gave us one litter of four boys. Nuppu was trialing in obedience in class 3 and in agility in class 2. She died suddendly at the age of 13½ years. |  |
|
Then I imported some Border Collies from Australia. Finally after many years of waiting I got a chocolate and white Border Collie bitch Lilli. She flew into the middle of freezing and stormy Finnish winter from the southern warmth with her sister Rommi. She was only twelve weeks old but full of life and tricks. She came out of her box after being there for almost two days looked at me like saying "Hello, here I am . Ain't I cute? What shall we do?" It really was love at first sight. |

Lilli is from Australian working and
obedience lines. And that shows also in her behavior. She never gets
enough of anything. No matter what's in guestion: agility, obedience,
flyball, searching, ... . At the moment Lilli is trialing in obedience class 4 and in agility she is in class 3. Agility is her passion. She needs no motivation, no good bits, no balls, no playing, nothing... She just runs and jumps and climbs and weaves as long as she drops to the ground unless I take her away to rest for a while. |
| In the autumn 2001 we travelled to England to pick a new member to our family. So we got a sweet little girl Beesting Shauna. Shauna is very energetic. Always full of life and bustle. She has an amazing imagination. She finds new games with her toys all the time. She's so busy that she hardly has time to eat anything. |

Shauna is FIN OB CH and almost AG CH. She misses only one winning with clean run. I don't think it will be no problem for her after she returns from the puppy break. |
| TThen 3.8.2004
was born our black and white Bearded Collie girl Heta. She is a daughter
of my favorite FIN CH Pythagoraan Let It Be Me "Kätsä" and her father is FIN CH Lawnlake Backstreet Boy "Hemmo". Heta is always sunny and happy as her name Sunflower-Jane tells. She is a good friend of all people and all dogs. |

Tessa is a long waited daughter of the super bitch Papu (FIN AG & OB & SH CH Pythagoraan Kanaroo Dream). Her father is Space (FIN AG CH Laetare Bowler Jack). She is born 5.4.2006. Tessa competes in agility and obedience. She has a very nice temperament and what a speed she has! |
| On Christmas holliday 2008 we travelled to
Belgium to visit Ann and Johan. And what we had with us when flying back,
an eight weeks old tricolour Border Collie girl. Her parents are Luna Tale Emmy and Easy From Doggone. I can't find words to tell how happy we are to have her. Thank you Ann and Johan for letting us have her. |
