1 litter: Siipiveikon 18.9.2021 Isla x Nova

Nova is happy, brave and energetic toller. He loves people and children. He likes other dogs but with males want some space. He likes to play and is hungry. Mental character test (MH) with good results.
Nova have half brothers and sisters from both parents, Siipiveikon "Tahtoo" litter 2013, Siipiveikon Tuulta Päin 2012 and Luottomiehen litter 2014. Dad's sister had litter 2018 in Sweden.

Nova is multi sport toller. He came to my mother, but he is so awesome that we have trained togerher agility, searching, obediance, shows, rally-obediance, blood tracking (talent) and photographing model. With mom he have done also blood tracking and gundog test accepted. He is always ready to work with full drive. But in home he is calm and easy. Sometimes training is too much funny and we have to concentrate calmer attitude. 

Unfortunately sister was put to sleep at age 2, when got aggressive and back was hurt (in röntgen doesn't found anything). Dad died at age 7-8, got lymfooma cancer but back was hurting also. Dad's brother in sweden has put to sleep also little earlier. Dad's half brother died at age 4, got aggressive and back was hurt. Anyone of them have diagnosis of illness. I think they didn't have CDDY test. In röntgen doen't show soft tissue and intervertebral disc.

Tofu was parents that i love and i was very happy when i got this lovely boy to me. Lets see how the future will go. We will do gundog training, obediance and human search, maybe agility later. 

Tofu has got good long coat, little bit curly also. He likes kissing, hugging and got scratcing also playing with human or dogs. When we have food he see's nothing else, he do anything to food. He concentrate well for young age. We have done lot of calming and stediness training. Tofu is brave, don't notice strong voices. We have to teach that he can't chase rabbits or reeds (same was with Gava bc). He like's very much to meet other dogs, but thats not possible so teach it also. Tofu don't guard his toys or food (agressive way). He is energetic, but very easy at home. Likes jumping and use his front legs. Using voice sometimes when playing. He is barking little bit more than others (Ruuti did it too), but not so much when learned not to do it home. 
He is very kind and listen well.     



Tofu 5,5months

My name is Tiia Ahveninen,(before Hämäläinen), year -91 birth and I'm from Finland. I have been love with animals since I was young. When we haven't own dog, me and my friend were allways walking neihborhoods dogs. I have taken care of dogs and teach them, not only my dogs and I like to teach people. Now are training in AST (Agility Sport Team) agility, obedience, sometimes searching and tracking. Dogs belongs in my life, I can't live without them, there are more positive sides than negative.

Ruuti is energetic dog. He loves eating, running and working, like bordercollies also. He is crazy about balls. Ruuti is training obedience (class 3/4), agility (class 2/3) and he have trained also human searching witch he likes a lot, but can't competite because gun shot's. (in english Ruuti means gunpower, speed like that)

Ruuti have teached me many things, living with Ruuti is not so easy than with Rasmus. You can't spoil and be so nice to him. In obedience our problem is that Ruuti likes to use voice in working. Agility have been so different than with Rasmus and it's so many thing that affects on course and many there is timing problems to handler.

In memoriam Vili 19.7.1999- 7.12.2010

Name: FIN Ch Retain Cara-Van "Vili"
Breed Norwichterrier
Sex:male
Color: Pink
Breeder: Dorrit & Claes Lindquist, Finland, Espoo
Owner: Tiia Hämäläinen, Finland, Espoo

Dad: Pathwork Defrost
Mother: Jaeva Merry Maid

Vili was like terriers also: stubborn, know he's place in our crowd and brisk. He didn't fear anything, Vili can bluster to Great Dane, but he was not angry. Vili allways has been friendly to all dogs and people. Vili is my "mother's dog", he didn't want to go out with me, if mum is home.

When Vili was under 3-years old we went in dog shows. And when Vili was 3-year old he came Finnish Show Champion. Once he came in group competition (BIS), was best of breed, best of opposite sex.
