LITTERS

Breeding plans

We breed average 1-3 litters annually, mostly from co-owned bitches, choosing the most promising combinations
trying to provide the health, working ability and correct structure of the progeny. We do our best to avoid any health
problems, choose health screened parents for our litters and test every litter for CEA. We also encourage all the
owners of our pups to health test the dogs for hip and elbow dysplasia and hereditary eye defects when they are
old enough for that.

I hope you have time to enjoy visiting my home page and all the previous litters bred under my prefix.

If you are interested in joining the team, please read the pages breeding ethics, brood bitches and health statistics
to get the idea of our aims, and feel free to read the results as well in trials, character tests and shows.

Border Collies:

I have planned 2 litters later this year. More information later from this page or directly from me by email
sari @ pikkupaimenen.com (remove spaces).

Vuodelle 2010 on suunnitteilla mahdollisesti kaksi pentuetta.myöhemmin tältä sivulta tai sähköpostitse
sari @ pikkupaimenen.com

Gia and Ossi had their litter of 5 in May. All those babies are now living in their own loving homes. If you wish to see their
baby pictures or the pedigree of the litter, you can find them at their own pages.

Gian ja Ossin viisi pentua syntyi toukokuun lopussa. Kaikki pennut elävät nyt onnellisina uusissa kodeissaan. Jos haluat nähdä
tietoa pentueesta tai pentujen kuvia, se onnistuu niiden omilta sivuilta.

Plans for future:

Now we plan to mate Tazma to Oliver as soon as she comes to season !
More information can be received by email at my address sari (at) pikkupaimenen.com (remove spaces). I will also make
an own information page for them later.

Tällä hetkellä odotamme juoksujen alkavan Tazmalle millä hetkellä tahansa. Tazma astutetaan pitkän suunnittelun jälkeen
tästä juoksusta. Lisätietoja saat sähköpostitse osoitteestani sari (at) pikkupaimenen.com (poista välit), tai pentueen omalta
infosivulta jonka teen myöhemmin.

I will also mate Riffi later this year, but I haven´t made the final decission of the sire as yet. More information can be received
by email at sari (at) pikkupaimenen.com (remove spaces) or from Riffi´s own information page when it is finished.

Olen myös astuttamassa Riffin myöhemmin tänä vuonna, mutta lopullinen ratkaisu urosvalinnasta on vielä auki. Lisätietoja
saat sähköpostiosoitteestani sari (at) pikkupaimenen.com (poista välit) tai pentueen omalta infosivulta jonka teen joskus
tulevaisuudessa.

Shetland Sheepdogs:

Sheltie litter planned (after 7 years break) in the end of the year for our Wendy !
More information when we know more ourselves !

What we demand from our homes

All these litters - like all our previous litters during history of our 15 years of Border Collie breeding - are bred three aims in mind:
Health, temperament and suitability to different performance activities and correct structure. All of the puppies are looking for suitable
home who is seriously interested in some kind of performance activity/activities with their future puppy. Suitable puppy is chosen by
their temperament as they grow up, and final decission of their future home will be done by the age 6-7 weeks, when we hope to see
well enough the characteristics of the pups to know which of them suits best each of the future owners and their vise versa. Decission
of the of the future owners of each puppy will be based on temperament and suitability of the puppy and future owner, NEVER by the
colour or any other reason like that. None of our puppies are suitable for pets only, as they are far too active for that. Also, there are far
more suitable dogs if you are looking for a company for your daily walks. But if you are interested in active hobby with training a dog,
write me an email to sari (at) pikkupaimenen.com or call one of the owners of or team that lives near you and organize to meet some of
our dogs to hear more. Their phone numbers can be seen below.

All of our puppies include lifetime 24/7 hour guarantee. In case of problems you can - and we hope you do - contact us any time all through
the life of your dog since puppyhood till the old age. We try to solve the problms or help you to find place or person who can together with
us help you. We also love to share also the good news, all about successful trainings, and wha´s best, if you ever happen to compete,
to hear the results of the competition is the best thing we know to wait, no matter if it has been first or last.

If you prefer to call

and perhaps also meet some of team Pikkupaimenen dogs training, you can meet them around Finland
and call Team Pikkupaimenen Border Collies & their owners near you.
