Kiila is lovely and healthy girl, she has also healthy mind and structure. If I want to describe Kiila with two adjectives, those would be jolly and agile. She is friendly and has friendly expression on her jolly face. She is an active, agile dog, fast in her movements. She makes volts in the air when turning around and waiting for me. On the agility course she reacts eagerly and instantly to my movements and commands. She is a good jumper. We do not get that good result in the competitions as she could, since her handler (me) is not that talented. But we enjoy it thoroughly and when we train we have lots of admirers around us. (I guess the team mates enjoy the combination of her movability and my clumsiness). I do also some obedience, since the learning of new tricks is so much fun for Kiila. She loves all the people and is friendly regarding the other dogs and animals. She has the will to please.
Kiila's first litter - Fabulous Five - was born in May 27th, 2011.
I am thankful for Cathrin Ziebart who volunteered to give one of her first puppies to faraway Finland. Thanks for your thrust and hospitality. Kiila is really everything I could hope for.
I am happy I met Family Steiners, Narrow Lane, with their border collies Ness and Jerry in the agility competition 2001 when living in Germany. They recommended several years later Cathrin and now I have the progeny of the dogs whose performance, appearance and character I once admired.
