Isa is
Selma's daughter and, as her mother, is equipped with a wonderful
working engine.
As young, Isa was a bit reserved with people she didn't know. She is
still a bit reserved, but with age, she has become much better. This,
and the fact that a couple of her siblings have a bit loose his, is why
I didn't breed on her.
Isa beacame Finnish Water Rescue Champion in the end of 2016.
That same year, in February, her left eye was removed because of a
tumour. Isa manage without any problems eith just one eye.
Isa passed away in February 2022 - just 3 days after her 12th Birthday.
Isa was a wonderful dog - she will be truly missed and I think of her
everyday. Perhaps my "one in a liftime" dog.

Siri
is our reinforcement from Sweden. When Rosa died, Sherry became very
lazy and needed some company.
Instead of taking a new puppy, it was decided that we'll try an older
dog this time.
Siri is born in Sweden at kennel Aquador where she was suppose to be
used in breeding. When Siri's hips were preliminary x-rayed as C, her
breeder decided to sell her to someone who could love her for the rest
of her life. She will not be used in breeding!
Siri is a very calm babygirl, but believe me, there is energy when it's
needed. She gets along with the other girls just fine and is a cuddly
and lovable member of our family.

Selma was
born
4.5.2006
in Hanko, in a small kennel called
Hopeahietikon. She was born in a litter of two girls and two boys, all
black.
Her mother is BH Hopeahietikon Isas-Glittra or Lillukka, a brown
bitch, and her father is Fin&S KVA Havulinnun Draken or Taavi,
a black dog.
In the Summer of 2006 I had planned to have my first own litter, I had
planned to mate Sherry. We went all the way to Kuopio to mate her, but,
with no success, she didn't want to co-operate at all. A couple of days
before our trip to Kuopio I had gotten a message from Sylvi that
Lillukka had
had 4 black puppies. When we were driving back from Kuopio
(a 5 hours drive) I couldn't get over my disappointment about not
having any puppies,
I had planned to keep a bitch for myself from the
planned litter. So, then I started to think about other possibilities.
Of course I could always try to
mate Sherry again from her next heat,
but because of my work, the Summer of 2006 would have been optimal for
having a puppy. And, because
Sherry already was 4 years old it was a
"now or never" situation. Then I started to think about taking a bitch
from Sylvis newborn litter, and the
more I thought about it, the more
appealing the thought became!
So a couple of days later I called Sylvi and asked her about the
possibility for me to buy one of her puppies and about two months later
I was the proud
owner to Selma!
I first went to look at Selma and her siblings when they were 2 weeks
old, small black lab babies. And when they where four weeks old I got
to choose
which one of the two bitches I wanted to have. I chose the
one that were more active (at that moment) and she had a small white
spot on her chest.
When Selma was 7 weeks old I picked her up from Sylvi's and introduced
her to Sherry and Rosa. Everything went just fine.
Selma was a very fast
learner and she had the will to please. It's was joy to work with her!
She was very calm at home -didn't really destroyed anything during
her upbringing.
She was my "Once In A Lifetime" dog and she will be greatly
missed.
Always in my heart! |

Sherry was
born the
12.4.2002 in Adventurer's Kennel in Nousiainen. The
litter contained 8 puppies, all black, 4 girls and 4 boys. When the
litter was 3 weeks old we went to look at the puppies, and again at 5
weeks.
Sherry was a small 7 weeks old puppy when we brought her home.
She was supposed to be a Brandy, but that name didn't fit her at all,
so we changed it to Sherry as soon as we saw her.
It was a hot day in early June when we came home with Sherry. During
the 2 hour ride home Sherry had managed to swim in her drinking bowl
3-4 times, so my clothes were all wet. You could already then see htat
this was a dog who loved water!
The first meeting with big sis' Rosa went fine. At first Rosa didn't
appreciate that Sherry took her toys, but it didn't take that much time
until Sherry was accepted.
With Sherry I started the "real" obedience training when she was around
1.5 years old. She loves the training and she's a very fast learner.
Around 9 Month after we started the training we passed the BH-test. In
2004 we participated in a Field Test for Retrievers, but we didn't pass
it.
Sherry passed away of old age 10.3.2015.

Rosa
was born
31.12.1994 in Caveris Kennel in Espoo. The litter
contained 8 puppies, 6 girls (4 black and 2 yellow) and 2 boys (1 black
and 1 yellow). The mother was Fin&Int&Est ShCH Caveris
Mimosa (yellow) and the father Caveris Fitzgo (black).
When Rosa, and her sister Manda, joined our family in 1995, she was
already 11-12 weeks old, so she was passed the "bonding" period. The
two small puppies had bonded with each other, and that was obvious for
everyone to see.
Of course Rosa loved us, her family, but she didn't really care about
other people.
Since she was a puppy, Rosa was the playful one, the one that
always did the "bad" things. As she got older she of course
calmed down, but she could still be very demanding and playful.
Luckily Rosa was very healthy. She ran into a propeller (on dry
land) when she was around 3 years old and got a nasty cut next to her
right eye. The cut healed nicely, but the tearchannel was damaged. In
the Summer of 2004 she went through a major surgery when 7 fatty bumps
were removed all over her body. One, in her back leg, turned out to be
a tumour.
From 2006 forward we noticed that her hearing was not what it used to
be, and she had some
arthritis in her front feet, but otherwise she was doing just fine,
after all, she was not a youngster anymore. But, before and after her
last heat in April-May 2008 we could notice that she had become more
tired
and her walking became slower. She also got problems with her stomach.
We got the stomach better with antibiotics and diet food, but without
medicine, the stomach became upset again. She also probably came down
with an
urine infection after her last heat. Finally we had to let go, to
relise that there's a time for goodbyes. Rosa took her last breath with
her baby Sherry by her side. Now, she's running on the great, green
meadows with her beloved sister Manda.
Gone, but not forgotten! |

Manda
was
Rosa's
(Caveris Julros) sister. When we went to look at the
remaining two puppies at Caveris Kennel, we couldn't decide which one
to take, so we took both. And we never regretted that decision!
Manda was always a little smaller than Rosa, but always the leader.
Because Rosa and Manda grew up together they were very attached to each
other and it was as if you had one dog, they complemented each other.
At the age of 1 we sterilized Manda because she was heavily
pseudopregnant after each heat, becoming very depressed and lazy.
At the age of 3 a tumour was found in her left eye. On New Years Eve
1998 the tumour was removed at the University Animal hospital in
Helsinki. Through surgery the eye was spared, but how much of her
eyesight was left after the surgery, we do not know. The tumour in her
eye was malignant, but they didn't think it would renew itself if they
had gotten the whole tumour out during surgery.
In 2000 Manda started to loose weight and she didn't really eat that
much food. She also threw up food after she had eaten. We didn't get a
diagnosis for her sickness until we changed veterinarian in 2001:
Manda's liver was full of tumours. The vet thought that the tumours in
the liver all originated from the one in her eye two years earlier. On
December 20th 2001 we went to the veterinarian for the last time with
Manda. Rosa was with her sister when Manda drew her last breath. It was
a very sad, but at the same time, a beautiful moment. At last Manda's
suffering was over. |

while her father was Tsarodej Teddy Bear, a black dog. The litter had 8
puppies, all black, 4 girls and 4 boys.
My was a very active dog when she was younger, and we did a lot of
mistakes in her upbringing. But when she grew up she became very wise
and obedient.
My died about a week before her 10th Birthday. She became paralyzed in
her back legs, the reason could not be found. |
