My Exports

My first export was "Whizz", Dk & Fin Ch KbhW-98 Pikkupaimenen Chocolate Shake CD, CGC, TDI, owned by Johanna Allanach, at Bluewyle Border Collies in Denmark. Whizz moved down there in co-ownership, and has visited  Finland in 2000 leaving a beautiful litter for us behind her. Whizz does agility and obedience.

My second export was an obedience dog "Issi", S OT Ch Pikkupaimenen Wildest Dreams, who is owned by well known judge and dog trainer Cecilia Holmstedt, who lives in Sweden. In Sweden Border Collies do not compete for CC´s that are needed for conformation championship without herding test, so despite her looks, Issi does not compete for conformation titles.

"Sketch", Am Ch Pikkupaimenen Dream Catcher MX, MXJ  moved to the United States to trial in agility, obedience and conformation. Sketch is owned by Joan Lawson, and even though they have not started in obedience yet, they sure have made their existence known both in agility and conformation. Hopefully Sketch will also prove himself to be a good producer of performance dogs with true Border Collie type.

"Tytti", Am Ch Pikkupaimenen In Your Dreams is a litter sister to Sketch. Tytti is also living in United States and is owned by Frank Baylis of Bayshore Border Collies and Australian Shepherds. Tytti like his brother combines Australian and New Zealand lines, and the whole litter shows how the looks and workability and solid temperament can be found in same dogs.

"Spin" Am Ch Pikkupaimenen Cloud Nine OA, NAJ is owned by Mary Wasielewski of MA, United States. Spin comes from a litter of two top winning Border Collies in Scandinavia and continental Europe, both parents being Best in Show all breeds winners with top results also in obedience, the dam having results "CD" with two legs with high in trials in class 2 gained just a week prior dying of cancer, and the sire had results "CDX" competing in class 3. Spin has also gained results in agility, and she will hopefully follow the footsteps of her parents in the future.

"Mike" Am Ch Pikkupaimenen Spy Catcher TDI, HIC is a young male, who is co-owned with Frank Baylis of Bayshore border collies and myself. Mike started his show career by winning with style,  Winners Dog and Best of Winners at BCSA supported entry show. Mike finished his title two weeks later with 3rd major. Later on he will continue with obedience training and trials. Mike has now returned to Finland and is permanently living with me.

"Chiara", It Ch Pikkupaimenen Shirley Temple, is Mike´s litter sister and lives in Italy. Chiara has started both shows and performance training and we will hear from this young girl in the future. Chiara is owned by Frederica Depau in Rome. Chiara has matured very nicely and has been winning very well at conformatiuon shows, by winning 6 CCs needed for Italian Championship from very limited showing. She has been one of the top winning Border Collies in Italy both last and this year.

"Twist" , Am Ch Pikkupaimenen Peppermint Twist TDI, HIC  was "thelongawaitedone" for her co-owner Wendy Jordan, who lives in PA, United States. Wendy had to wait for her girl for over 2 years, and I truly hope that Twist will be worth the wait for her. Twist started her show career by winning Winners Bitch at the Border Collie club supported entry show at 7 months of age. Will be seen in the obedience arenas in the future.

"Meghann", LP 1 Pikkupaimenen Peach Delight  CGC  is our sweetie living in Denmark, closest to her dam Whizz. Meghann is owned by family Blom Larsen, and has got two wonderful doggie friends to play with. Meghann has been shown with great success being best baby in breed each time out with excellent critiques. Meghanns main job will be agility and obedience when she grows up a bit, and we hope to hear from her. Meghann has won her first CC and clear run in agility!

"Sunny", Pikkupaimenen Magic Moment is living in Sweden with Cattlin and Mats. Due to regulations, we can export puppies to Sweden at youngest when they are 7 months old, so we had a chance to learn to know her better than many other exports. Sunny is a happy, outgoing puppy who loves action. She will be doing obedience, agility, herding and all other kinds of doggy activities. We wish her luck with the new family! She has started her career with 2 CACIBs and BOBs.

"Player" , Pikkupaimenen Fast Forward moved to United States to keep  company to Sketch and to organize something to do to his co-owner Joan Lawson and the Border gang. Player travelled to the States along with our Danish friend having a quick look at Denmark on the way and he had his sister Tuisku to keep him company. Or was it vise versa? However Player has settled down well to his new home. We will hear from this boy in the future when he hits the obedience, agility and conformation circles.

"Tuisku", Am Ch Pikkupaimenen Front Page News is a very active little girl who travelled a long way to her foster home. She will be living with her co-owner Wendy Jordan and Border friends Twist and Mike until she can behave well enough to start her official training. Her future is planned to be back in Finland as an assistance dog for myself, if she will be trained well enough for that important job. But that will all depend on the trainer - myself. Tuisku has started her show career with 14 points and 3 majors by the age of 7 months! She finished her championship at 9 months.
