school in the spring 2007 and now I'm taking a year off. My first experience with dogs was when my aunt's family got an apricot miniature poodle male in the year 1996. This was also my very first touch to the world of poodles :) After that my dear friend Elisa Ahokas (kennel LB Jolie) introduced me into dog show's when she got her first poodle in the year 1998. I remember how I used to watch all of those beautiful poodles, with lovely eyes and movements that demanded attention.. When Elisa's family got their second poodle, I really started to think that maybe we could have a dog (read: poodle) too ;) So, nowadays I have two gorgeous poodle males: apricot dwarf poodle male Onni and apricot miniature poodle male Finik. More information about my boys you can find from their own pages.

I competed in some junior handling-competitions when I was younger and during those years I got many new experiences and memories with different breeds. Now I'm too old to compete in junior handling, but I'm always ready to help in show rings when somebody needs some help in handling.

At this moment we are concentrating to dog shows with Finik. Onni is retired from his hobbies and he is just enjoying his life as a little Diva of our family ;)

I hope you'll enjoy your visit here and please, remember to sign our guestbook! :)
