A Brief History of Us |
|
We are family from Jyväskylä,
Central Finland. Our history has always included dogs, big and small.
We are glad to see that our love for dogs is passing to Sinna, Pertti's
daughter.
My love for dogs started with
black Pugs. We had two of them in my childhood home. Nurkkaniemen
Mustamiliisi, our grand old dog died at 1988 at age of 13. At that
same year I moved in my own home and tried to live "normal"
life, a life without a dog. Secretively dreaming about Doberman.

Susa & Debi |
At 1992 I got my first Doberman Golden Gazeau Debi. She was a wonderful
personality, who has taught me a lot about dogs in general. She
has also taught to our Sinna what is loyalty and what it means when
you just have to be patient. We had to give our dear Debi up at
September 2003 because of cancer. At 1993 I got another Doberman
bitch, Dufas Mirelle. She was totally different character than Debi:
relaxed and easy-going. We had to give her up at April 2003 at the
age of 10. She had a cancer and problems in pancreas. We still mourn
a loss of our great Dobermans. My heart will always belong to this
wonderful breed.
I have been position of trust in many dog associations
and have been working in arranged committee of Jyväskylä International
Dog Show since 1996. I am Finnish Kennel Club's authorized Ring
Secretary. I have passed Finnish Kennel Clubs The Breeders examination
(part I and part II) and Dog Show judge basic course. I got my Kennel-prefix,
Didaktic's, at 1993.
I have masters degree in education and economics. At the moment
I work as Consultant and Project Manager in big global IT-company. |
Pertti's interest has been Australian Kelpies since 1990, when he
got "Donna", INT & FIN & EST CH, EuW-91, ESTW-93,
FINW-96 Bestseller Ran Tan Plan. Pertti and Donna have made history
in many ways in Kelpie-field. Pertti has breed two Kelpie litters
under prefix, Swingtails. Donna died at 31.10.2004 at age of 14
years and 8 months. Donna will live in our memories and through
her offspring. Donna's descendants include many beauty, working
and agility champions.
Since spring 2004 our family has enlarged with
another Kelpie, FIN & EST CH, FINW-05, ESTW-06 Bestseller Domino,
"Venda". She is very beautiful and pleasing young bitch.
Venda has reclaim all expectations we had over her.
At November 2006 Venda gave birth to our first
Kelpie-litter (Didaktic's A-litter) with seven extremely beautifull
puppies. Didaktic's Arana from that litter is owned by us but she
is living with Kiti Levistö, here in Jyväskylä. Thank
you Kiti for offering so good home to our "Hi-Likka".
Pertti has collected very extensive Kelpie
database, where you can find all Kelpies in Finland; their pedigrees,
health results and so on. Other Pertti's "hobbies" are
sailing and photographing. Many of his pictures are published in
dog-magazines, newspapers and on the Internet.
Pertti is working as Internet specialist in newspaper Keskisuomalainen. |

Miniature Pinscher is our latest love and interest
since 2002. It has the same noble looks than Doberman, but in a
small size. We have had enormous luck with our first MinPin, "Veikka",
INT & FIN & DK & EST & S & NORD Ch, JWW-03,
KBHV-03, AMSTW-04, FinSg A'Dreams Black Thunder. His character is
so good: self-confident and obedient. He is a dog with excellent
nerves. Yet he is sooooo good looking. I am so glad to find out
that his good qualities have passed on to his offspring. Veikka's
ofspring includes INT CH, S CH, N CH, FIN CH, LTU CH's; CACIB, CAC
winners; Lithuanian Winner 05, ISPU Junior Winner 2004 and JugendsiegerBerlin
2006 and Agility Champion!
We are very intrested about Veikkas ofspring and would gladly have
a note from you if you own a MinPin after our Veikka. We are so
proud of every one of his puppy! |
MinPin bitchs living in our family are "Veera",
A'Dreams Black Orchid and "Wiwi", EST J W-07 ESTW-07 Aurra
Sing Wicked Witch.
Veera has beautiful outlooks and excellent character. Her biggest
merit is her character test with +204 points! That is the highest
points that any female MinPin has achieved so far. Time will tell
what else we are able to achieve with her. Veera had a little show-break
since she had her first litter to Kennel A'Dreams at spring 2006
- four beautiful puppies.
Wiwi is our future hope and star. She comes from interesting combination
of two outstanding INT champions and we are so proud to be able
to have her in our family. She started her show career by being
BOB and BIS-3 puppy. Not a bad start at all! At summer 2007 during
1½ month of time she has got 3 CAC from 3 different countries.
Like one judge said to us - she is full of show attitude.

In addition to these fine MinPins at the
moment I own one Miniature Pinscher bitch who is not living
with us: Didaktic's Fingerprint, "Iines". Iines
is still young bitch but I hope one day she will carry on
our MinPin lines. Iines is staying in good care of Heli Heikkinen.
I have owned with this similar co-own contract the mother
of Didaktic’s D-litter, “Maisa”, Greatman’s
Marvelous-Mae (who is daughter of our Veikka) and our Russian
import Duvinal O'Hara Optimara, "Raisa". At the
moment Raisa is living at Kennel Aurra Sing.
At summer 2007 I have had enormous luck to use our Veikka's
littersister A'Dreams Black Theya into our breeding. Didaktic's
F-litter is after her. |

All about our dogs you can
read from their own sites. We are breeding quite seldom but
every now and then you can find new puppies under Didaktic's
prefix. On top of all these dogs I have presented here we
have a regular visitor Sinna's own dog Australian Silky Terrier
bitch "Kola", Curiosity Forbidden Fruit.

Dogs are our way of life. Our hobbies are travelling,
sometimes with M/H Arska,
horse back riding and sailing
with S/Y Tropic.  
We have got life long friendships
and lots of never-to-be-forgotten moments through our dogs.
