We live in a small town Mikkeli, which is located in Eastern part of FINLAND. My name is Päivi and my husband is Matti, our dogs are ´Lola´, ´Manu´and ´Elli´- all old english sheepdogs.  We have been within this lovely breed since 1986 when our first bobtail was born (Sanysaraha). There was no mean to became a breeder, but somehow it turned like this and 21th breeding year is going on...

Later on, 1995, we had a coton de tulear female, Ceetan Galaxy Of Tirri, who is our foundation bitch and she past away at age of 14½. At the moment we don´t have any cotons at home; but my sister owns two and our daughter owns one.

Our dogs live together with us; we don´t have any kennelhouses etc and all puppies are raised together with the rest of family - dogs are part of of our "group" :). At the moment I am not working outside home, my husband  runs a small company (Tasoite ja Maalaus Kakriainen Oy). All our children has their own families and  we are proud grandparents :). 

 All our dogs have been qualified in dog shows, also certified (HD, HCA, PRA, elbows) in healthiness. They all have such a typical temperament of an old english sheepdog. Our dogs live together with us - they´ve got no kennelhouses or icolated rooms. When bitches are whelping they have their own room to nurse puppies etc. and when puppies are old enough to play with older dogs they are allowed to do it- when there are family to watch over. We have only one litter in both breeds at the same time as we believe that puppies need so much time and energy from people too... ;-)
