Rilla   -   TK1 Merkillinen Keiju Eyes: ok, PRA A (clear) Hips: A/A Elbows: 0/0 Knees: 0/0 Conformation: BOS, BB1, CC Obedience: 3 x ALO1, 2 x AVO1 Agility: competes in MAXI III Rilla in finnish breeding database More pics of Rilla in Merkillinen homepages Rilla's own homepage

Rilla, like her littermates, is a very social and active bitch who likes to work. At the moment, Rilla has results from shows, obedience and agility. Rilla also practises retrieving in order to pass the Finnish basic retriever test. They also train the search for working dogs for their own enjoyment. Rilla is an energetic, active and joyful bitch by nature. She gets on well with people and other dogs, both with strangers and familiar ones. Rilla is persistent and eager to work. She has a high motivation to work regardless of the sport and she works in good co-operation. Rilla does everything with great intensity: whether she's running, using her nose, swimming, playing, sleeping or fussing. Rilla is also very obedient and humble in training, and she tries hard to make things the right way. When she gets excited, she tends to make sounds, for example when waiting for her turn to do things. However, when working Rilla is always quiet and makes no sound at home. It is also easy for her to relax completely wherever she is.

Rilla's littermates have results from a variety of sports, depending wholly on the interests of the owner. Alli has three first prizes from three obedience trials in class 1 and she was also actively used for practical hunting and trained in agility. Ruska has passed the behaviour test for working dog trials and Karo competes in agility highest class. My own dog, Kepe, has passed the basic retriever test and is blood tracking champion (FIN JVA). Kepe is also used for practical hunting each autumn. Nappi doesn't have results yet, but he is also trained in agility, blood tracking and obedience. The littermates share an enthousiasm for game and willingness to work in addition to being very active. Besides Rilla, Alli and Kepe have attended shows, gaining mostly 'Very Good'. All of them have a healthy and balanced structure with good angulations and proportions.

Luca   -   BH TK2 Hedera's Esprit De Corps Eyes: ok, PRA A (clear), CEA A (clear) Hips: A/A Elbows: 0/0 Knees: 0/0 Conformation: BM2, Res-CC Passed behaviour test for working dogs (BH) Mental test: +190p, secure to shots Obedience: 3 x AVO1, 3 x ALO1 Agility: competes in MAXI I Luca in finnish breeding database Luca's own homepage

Luca is an active, young male. He is social and gets well along with strange people and dogs. He is also always eager to work, what ever is planned for him. Both goodies and toys are good ways of rewarding Luca while training. Positive things in Luca are that he is quiet while working and he is easy to motivate. He is also gun shot proof and he is able to concentrate almost in all circumstances. At home he is relaxed until his leach or a toy is taken and then he is again ready to go. Luca is used, from early spring until late fall, heavily in hunting. They are hunting mainly ducks, doves and grouses, and during winter time they go out to hunt hares. Luca's hobbies also include obedience, agility, blood tracking as well as search for working dogs.

Luca's both sisters have done well in conformation, both have receiver certificates. Both sisters work also with game. Lucas mother has cacib from conformation and her offspring is healthy and has good character, many dogs also have good results in conformation. Lucas father is from USA and lives now in Switzerland. He has a cacib from conformation, Luca and his siblings are his only offspring in Finland. In Switzerland Luca's father has six litters, where all puppies have been healthy so far and many of them have junior champion title from conformation in Switzerland.
