Trimmaan ehtiessäni villakoiria Kauniaisissa. Ota yhteyttä (sähköpostiosoitteeni löytyy About me -sivulta), jos koirasi on trimmaajaa vailla ja uskot, että minusta olisi apua. Trimmaan lähes yksinomaan näyttelykoiria, mutta toki otan vastaan kotikoiriakin, elleivät satu pahimman näyttelyruuhkan keskelle. Minut on saatu toistaiseksi vain pari kertaa houkuteltua trimmaamaan isovillakoira, mutta aina, kun sellaista ehdotetaan, harkitsen kyllä niitäkin tapauskohtaisesti. Tällä sivulla voit tutustua joihinkin trimmaamiini koiriin. Joitakin trimmaan jatkuvasti, osa koirista puolestaan on itsekin trimmaustaitoisten ihmisen omistamia satunnaisia vierailijoita, joiden trimmiin minun ollut ilo tarjota uusia ideoita laittamalla koiraa kerran tai pari. Kiitos kaikille trimmattavieni omistajille luottamuksesta. Jokainen koira on opettanut minulle jotakin - Enya tietysti ehdottomasti eniten. Whenever I have time, I trim poodles owned by other people. At the moment I mainly groom toys, dwarfs & mediums. Standards have been offered to me several times but I've only agreed to do one. It's been a success and serves as a proof that it actually is possible to talk me over to do it. I mainly clip show dogs and have had a chance to do not just scandinavian lion clips but some continetals and English saddle clip as well. On this page you can see some dogs trimmed by me. Some of them I groom regularly, some are owned by people who can groom very well by themselves but wished me to clip their dog once or twice to get some new ideas. I'm extremely grateful for having had the chance to clip these poodles and I thank the owners for trusting their dogs in my hands. Every dog has taught me something - Enya obviously more than anyone else.

Olen aina esittänyt Enyan itse ja vien satunnaisesti kehään muitakin koiria. Siskoni harrastamat rodut, australiankelpie ja länsigöötanmaanpystykorva, ovat yleisimpiä, mutta olen käynyt virallisissa kehissä kääntymässä myös mm. labradorinnoutajien kanssa. Toisinaan esitän myös trimmaamiani villakoiria. Enemmän tai vähemmän kokemusta on myös lukuisista muista roduista: mäyräkoira, kultainennoutaja, walesin- & englanninspringerspanieli, shetlanninlammaskoira, tiibetinterrieri, lhasa apso, papillon, norfolkinterrieri, suomenpystykorva, lyhytkarvainen saksanseisoja jne... Jos jonkilaisten tuttavien omistamien koirien kanssa on ollut ilo treenailla omia koiranesitystaitoja. I've always handled Enya by myself in the show rings and every now and then I handle also other dogs. My sister's breeds, Australian Kelpie and Swedish Vallhund, have become most familiar to me but I've visited official show rings also with labrador retrievers for example. Every now and then I take to show rings some of the poodles I groom. I also have more or less experience of countless other breeds: Dachshund, Golden Retriever, Welsh & English Springer Spaniel, Shetland Sheepdog, Tibetan Terrier, Lhasa Apso, Papillon, Norfolk Terrier, Finnish Spitz, Short-haired German Pointer etc... It's been great to train my handling skills with the help of all sorts of dogs owned by people I know.

[Cefeus Vilde * Ringbarka Aussie Star]
breeder: Pia & Caroline Rönnquist, Sweden
owner: Linda Merk, Kotka, Finland

Jilla is a true know-it-all, in a good sense. Whatever you ask of her, she delivers with style.
I've had the pleasure of handling her to several times BOB, BOS, CAC & CACIB winner and FinJW-07.

Australian Kelpie female

[Rambechs Faxe * Cefeus Jillaroo]

owner: Linda Merk & Maija Henttonen, Kotka, Finland

Nemi is a precious young black beauty, a daughter of Jilla (above). Adorable and wise.
She is a BOB & BOS puppy winner and we're curious to see what the future will bring for her.

"Very beautiful puppy. High-class, excellent type. Correct proportions.
Very beautiful topline. Balanced structure and movement.
Beautiful, typical feminine head. Exemplary performance.
Entirely greatly pleasing." (Päivi Eerola)

Australian Kelpie male
Maiskis Nexi
[Rambechs Faxe * Cefeus Jillaroo]
breeder: Maija Henttonen, Vantaa, Finland
owner: Mari-Anna Grönholm, Inkoo, Finland

Kexi is like a clone of his mother Jilla but he comes with some improvements that make him even more impressive.
This boy is an absolute pleasure to show, everything feels effortless with him.

Kexi started his show career with BOB & CAC in Turku INT 2009 at the age of just 9 months.
The judge Tapio Eerola said that he is an exceptionally fine example of the breed. We couldn't agree more.
