HISTORY

      

I started our kennel of Labradors in the 70's with two black bitches FIN CH Susanset Inez and Susanset Jokeriina. The present stock, however, is based on the British imported bitches of which the two first were yellows Heatherbourne Partypiece (born -78 by GB SH CH Poolstead Problem - GB SH CH Heatherbourne Top Tune) and  FIN CH Balrion Witching Hour (born -82 by GB SH CH Bradking Kassidy - GB SH CH Balrion Wicked Lady). Very succesfull littermates from these lines were FIN CH Follies Uriah Heep, FIN CH Follies Ursula Andress and Follies Up To Date (3 CC's) born -86 by Pastime's Timebomb - Follies Milk and Honey. One of the absolutely top winning males in the 90's was the yellow INT & FIN CH Follies Cutty Sark (born -89 by Wetherlam Mace - Follies Viscountess), a Witching Hour great-grandson. He had several BIS and BOS wins at the biggest breed speciality shows under famous breed specialist judges.
From 1991 my daughter Anna-Liisa has been officially co-owner of our kennel, she has shown our dogs at shows from her childhood and helped in many other ways.
Our present star INT, FIN & EST CH, NordW-01 W-01-02 Follies Storm Petrel (yellow born -98 by FIN CH Brookhill's Daddy's Hope - Follies Olympia) is grandson of Cutty Sark. He has had some really thrilling wins at shows.
In the 90's we have imported Balnova Blushing Bride (yellow born -90 by GB SH CH Sandylands Royal Escort - Balnova Blossom at Ryedown) and the black Balnova Fragrant Bloom (born -96 by Brightwalton Born A Star - Balnova Just For Luck) both from UK, Sheila and Keith Wallington.


Now that a couple of years have passed we can see, that it was worth keeping our fingers crossed for the litter D&VDH SH Tweedledum Crispy Duck - Follies Wood Lark as three of the puppies have made a very good career: Our own FIN CH F. I Love Lucy has fulfilled our hopes in many ways as she has had some really good wins at shows e.g. winning Lab Club's Speciality Show BIS in February -04 under Les Brabban, Cambremer. In October -04 she got her first litter by MULTI CH Golden Eagle over Rocheby and now it's time to keep fingers crossed for F. Rusticana and her brother F. Rara Avis.
 
From the same litter as Lucy came also RUS&BLR&EST CH F. Imperial Eagle, who has won also in Finland, being BIS at Lab. Club's Main Specialityshow in May -04 with CC and winning Best Male and BOS at Lab. Club's Club Show in August -04. The Choc. bitch from the same litter F. Instant Coffee has had some very good wins in her new home in Czech Republic.
 
FIN CH Rosanan Ice Follies was made up with great style when she won BIS at Lab.Club's Main Speciality show in February -05. Her son F. No Kidding won Junior Class at the same show. He is by Cricklecreek Cruising Along.
 
Tweedledum Folies Bergerer has got her 3 CC's in Finland + one CC in Estonia. Her first litter by MULTI CH Rocheby Smokescreen was born in June -04 and F. Opera Comique from that litter won in her turn Lab. Club's Puppy & Veteran Show BIS Puppy in October -04. Also her brother and sister did well at the same show F. Onomatopoetic winning his class and F. Odessa being 3rd.
 
From the sisters FIN CH Follies Annabella and FIN CH F. Allie we have a choc. dog F. Lens Louse (by Mallorn's Toblerone) with one CC at his credit and a black bitch bred by Saskian kennel. We also took in a black bitch, Cayenne,  from a choc. bitch Bubbling Marionette (by CH Cambremer Tom Cobbley of Charway) who was mated to our FIN CH F. Rule Of Thumb. That bitch has been shown twice so far and has won her classes on both occasions.
