******************************************************************************************

My dog hobby began actually in 70’s, when my father was breeding Finnish Hounds. I was also very interested of dogs, but my father didn’t agree, because I tried to wash 1 week old puppies and I was also wondering why they don’t have their eyes open… I was only 5 years old.

In the year 1980 my godfather gave me my first own dog. He was Siperian Husky, who represented show type of this breed, which is nowadays very rare. I noticed that it wasn’t my breed at all and when he died as 13 years old year 1992 and my father had finished breeding Hound dogs year 1985, because of loosing his good bitch lines; I started to select new breed.

******************************************************************************************

St Bernard… it was the most interesting breed for me, and I wanted to find out if it’s really so. Now in year 2007 it’s time to remind what has happened during 15 years. Because dogs are only a hobby for me I work with VALIO  products.
I got my kennel name year-97, and this name is mixture of names of sires of my 1st bitch and 1st dog.

******************************************************************************************

Aralia” was our first St Bernard dog and she moved to us year 1992.(Ch Xyrus vom Baronenschloss –Rantatuulen Bettiina).Her progeny class won 2x best in show.

Int, Nord, Fin, S & N CH Sanct Weronicas Gaston
(King-Balu von Geutenreuth-Ulla vom Bismarcturm)
1993 I bought “Gaston” from kennel Sanct Weronica’s, and he became later international champion. He had also A few group placements for example International show in Skellefteå he took second place in group-2.

Many of  Gaston’s offspring became champions of few countries. Unfortunately he suddenly died in one Saturday morning year 1998, this day I’ll never forgot.

******************************************************************************************

Sanct Weronicas Natalie
Year 1996 came a bitch to us also from same kennel: Sanct Weronica’s Natalia ( Sanct Weronica’ s Galicula- Ulla vom Bismarckturm). “Nata” didn’t become such a showstar as I was hoping, but she had many good puppies for example her daughter, King-Baronen’s Ei Kai Bis Yx became Champion of two countries. Gaston was anyway the dog who started our show career…


******************************************************************************************
First litter was born 1996. It had 9 puppies and two of them became Fin CH,and one Norwegian Ch,
but I wasn’t 100% happy with quality of them. Biggest reason was that they didn’t live long enough.
First I though it’s only my bad luck, but afterwards I realised it’s maybe not so,
and I gave up for those lines. I started to look for new blood lines and to contact to foreign breeders.

First I was very interested of  German lines of Saints, and I also imported very beautiful bitch from Germany:
Ch Veronica von St Florian, who’s breeder is a special judge of saints. Special thanks to Erika and Heinz.
Veera has got an excellent show success. She is Fin, N & S Ch, Winner-01 in Finland and winner-04 in Sweden.
She has many placements of group competitions and Best In Shows and of course plenty of times BOB.
The most important is that she is sympathetic home dog and also she has almost ten champion kids.
It’s impressive to have imported dog, who is good herself and who has good offspring.

******************************************************************************************
After this I wanted to try something new. I was looking from Norway and
from there I found (but not easily) Heitlogården`s Big Foot. I was looking
for a dog who has size, bone and movement. Big Foot was 5,5 years old when
he moved to us year 1999, but his show career was not over yet. He has been
very successful in dog shows. Maybe his best result is BIS-1 veteran in
Tornio 2001. He also got invitation to veteran of veterans competition, but
we didn`t take a part. Thanks for this great dog belongs to his breeders
Nils and Lillian Heitlo in Norway to Heitlogården`s Kennel.

Year 2000 I first time mated American line and Scandinavian line St.bernards dogs "Big
Foot" and "Veera". In this litter there was 9 puppies. Multi Ch Indiana Jones
is the most famous male from this litter. He has taken a part in shows very
successfully in many countries. Also females: King-Baronen`s Image of Power, she is
international Champion too and Ice Queen is Fin Ch, and Ihme ja Kumma is
missing 1 CAC to become Fin & S Ch.

Charms Remington in year 2004 and also year 2006 she was inseminated with
seamen of the most winning Saint in Usa Lasquite`s Garlanda V Chalice.

    Imported dogs
    2005;


    Freni Vom Rottgenberg (in  photo 4,5 month old)

    (Mauro Vom wingert- Silja Bernhardet Schummerich).
    Freni imported to Finland from Germany, she is totally European type bitch also from her pedigree.
     

    Numebamsen`S Good Fiola, Hips & Elbows free (A/0)
    (Opdyke jazz-man / Numebamsen`s Bombasa Nekinna) was imported from Norway, shorthaired bitch with healthy HD and ED. We wanted Fiola because of her previous offspring. At the moment her son in Australia is very successful in shows. Fiola herself became very quickly Fin & N CH.

    Indy.jpg
    From longhaired “Indy” and shorthaired “Fiola” we had litter of 10 promising puppies. This litter born 2006.

     From this combination was born King-Baronen`s Quite a Choice,King-Baronen`s Quantum Leap  ja King-Baronen`s Quarterback.

     GlownHelmikuu08.jpg
    Golden Glow van`t Hof ten Eynder. He is a new American Opdyke`s lines to me..

    But don`t forget, we are planning using our Breeding programme also USA national winner
    Lasquite`s Orlando v Hans. He´s frozen seamen is already in Finland.

      I try to breed for reducing quality of
    Saints not for earning money.  The most important feature for me is not size, but healthy structure, anatomy, movement
    and most of all proportions. These are things I emphasise in breeding without forgetting the most beautiful head.  
    All these are not very easy to  get in the same package. My goal: strong, breed standard type, powerfully moving, healthy
    and good character dogs.And don`t forget a great humor with saint bernards breeder.
    I trying using my breeding programme so healthy saints as  possible, but still i am not only hips fanatic.
    I hope I can one day also judge this breed. I am member of Finnish kennel club and I have sign breeders’ code of ethics.
    Often my kennel born only 1-2 litters / year.
    Co-operation with Finnishs and foreign breeders is nessesary .
    I have collect as much as possible information and photos of our dogs in my webpages.
