About us

Who are we?

Our human family consists of me Tarja, my husband Tero and our three children Julia (Born -95), Juri (born -98) and Jimi (born -00).
I was born -72 and I have spent my whole life with animals. We had a mixed - breed bitch Mira at my childhood home,
and in my grandmother's house where I spent lots of time was a collie Risse, these two teached me to love dogs and other animals too. After I moved on my own I got my own very first pure bred dog: Great dane Aslan. 
With him I had a dalmatian male Remo who lived his last years with my mother. After Aslan and Remo and I had a german shepherd male Kazan who truly was a best dog I could have hoped for.
Along with the dogs I used to have rabbits living free in our house, currently we have 5 rabbits but they enjoy their more natural habitat in a barn.

Our whole family loves nature & animals, and this is why we choose to live in country. We bought Tero's homestead, and right after that got our first horse and pony. I also plan to have few chickens and lambs. 

My husband Tero has other hobbies too, along with dogs he loves old cars and HD bikes. He's been having few Harleys and American cars during our marriage. I have soft spot in my heart for certain cars also; USA pick - up trucks and 4x4's. My favorite vehicle is my reliable old Toyota Land Cruiser HJ-61, it's very ugly and very personal & fun to drive!

All of our kids like animals, Julia goes to riding lessons, and has two pet rabbits.She does a lot of work with horses too. Boys play with dogs on the yard, and love to go sled rides with dogs during the winter months. They would love to have their very own pet but they are too small yet for a responsibility. May be in few years :) Jimi has an own cat though, Nokkis and Jimi are very good friends.

I am a member in Suomen kennelliitto (Finnish Kennel Club), Suomen valkoinenpaimenkoira ry (Finnish ws club) and in AWSA (American White Shepherd Association). I have signed the code of ethics for breeding dogs of all these three clubs, and will follow the rules & recommendations.
Me and my husband are also members in Tyrnävän hevosjalostusyhdistys
