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 is a very fast learner and she has the will to please. It's a joy to work with her! She is very calm at home - hasn't really destroyed anything during her upbringing. In the Summer of 2007 we participated in or first Obedience test, it did not go so well, mostly because of me... In April 2008 we passed the BH-test. And in September 2008 we participated in an Obedience test again, this time we got to 2nd prize level in Beginners class, and a week later we got 1st prize. In the Spring of 2009 we got two more first prizes so we got the title TK1. In the summer of 2009 |
