We are a little kennel in the middle of Finland. We breed just a few litter per year and our aim is to get the highest possible quality in health, temperament and appearance.

First, we would like to introduce to you our Rough Collie stud dogs:

The golden/ red sable
Corydon Will Carnegie, "Winston" (UK imp.)

Winston has A-hips and is CEA-free. He has an excellent head with a wonderful expression and is strong in bone and construction, with excellent movements. He is a son to GB CH Corydon Blackcat and Corydon Whisper Willow. His grandfather is the fantastic GB CH Corydon Gold Spur, and his grandmother is the beautiful GB CH Corydon La Stupenda.

Winston is rarely shown and will due to a change of wardrobe not be seen much this summer, but he will come back spring-99. He already has CQ (certificat quality) from International dog shows. Winston also competes in obedience trial, and has a first price.

Winston is at stud to approved bitches.

Our dark shaded sable dog
Black Elles Robin Hood, "Robin"

Robin has A-hips and is CEA-free. Robin has moved to live with us as an adult, and is due to that shown rarely, but he has already shown his quality by taking wins and CQ from International shows. We hope to make him a  FIN CH within a year. He also competes in obedience trial, and has a first prize. Robin is a grandson to perhaps the two most important Rough Collie dogs we have ever had in Finland - FIN & EST & DK CH, WW-89, KBHW-89 Corydon Be Brave and FIN CH Corydon Knight of Glory. Robin's father INT CH, LVW-98 Black Elles Flying Igaros is also a successful show - and stud dog, being the 2nd Best Rough Collie show dog in Finland 1997.

Robin is at stud to approved bitches.

Then we would like to introduce our Rough Collie bitches:

Our tricolour bitch
Black Elles Taras Hope, “Tao”

Tao has A-hips and is CEA-free.Tao is a daughter to EST CH Black Elles Dark Bucchaneer, and Esmari Sweet Star. Black Elles Dark Bucchaneer is the son to CH Corydon Be Brave and Corydon Rosie O'Grady. Esmari Sweet Star is the daughter to FIN CH Corydon Knight of Glory and FIN CH Siniketun Sini-Tähti, who was Finland’s most winning show bitch 1995. Tao has excellent angulations and movements. Tao is rarely shown since puppy classes due to a change of wardrobe, but managed well in puppy classes being 2nd best Puppy Bitch in the Finnish Collie Society's Speciality show in autumn -97, and also being placed 2nd Best Puppy Bitch in Saarijärvi, and also BOS-puppy in Loviisa. She has also taken a win in intermediate class. She will compete in obedience trial 1999.

Tao has been mated to our Corydon Will Carnegie in May-98. We hope for excellent sable and tricolour puppies in the beginning of August.

Our dark shaded sable bitch
Heidelind's Gold Galaxystar, "Goldi" (EST imp.)

Goldi has A-hips and is CEA-free. She is a daughter to MULTI CH Corydon Gold Bond and MULTI CH Falcon Golden Gloss of Glory.

CH Corydon Gold Bond is a son to Corydon Bound for Glory and Corydon Gold Delilah. CH Falcon Golden Gloss of Glory is a daughter to CH Black Elles Dark Bucchaneer and Reval Falcon Golden Daisy. Goldi is rarely shown due to maternal duties, but has many placings from puppy classes, and also a win in the junior class. Goldi's first litter, with FINW-91 Liinucca's Alf was born 11/97 (prefix kennel Black Elles), and the puppies look very promising. Goldi will be mated to our Corydon Will Carnegie during winter 98/99. She will also compete in obedience autumn -98.

In the end of July 1998 we have received a little sable girl from our friends at the Corydon kennel. Look out for this little star in the showring next year!

We will also have some other bitches to mate from these famous lines - so, who knows, you might find your star here!

If you are interested in having a show quality puppy from us, or using our stud dogs - do not hesitate to contact us. All our puppies are vet. examined, eye-checked and ID-marked.
All enquiries will be gladly received and answered to. If requested, we can send photos and pedigrees of our dogs. For foreign enthusiasts a video of our dogs can be made.

 Visitors are always welcome!

But let us not forget, that we also have a "Lion" in the family. We would like to proudly present our Rhodesian Ridgeback dog, Top Winning RR in Finland 1997

INT & FIN & EST & LV & S & N CH, ESTONIAN WINNER 1996
Norridge Big-Laeion,
"Laijo" (S imp.)

Laijo has B-hips (x-ray taken at five years age) and he isn't just beautiful, he is smart too: he competes in obedience trial, open class.

Laijo is shown rarely, just twenty-four times in six different countries. But he has still managed quite well, we think.

He has: 19 x CQ, 8 x CC, 7 x CACIB, 4 x RES. CACIB, 4 x 2nd BEST DOG, 15 x BOB, 2 x BIG-4, 3 x BIG-3, 1 x BIG-2.

Laijo is a majestic, strong origin ridgeback with a wonderful, stabile temperament - which makes it easy to work and travel with him. Laijo is a son to the late S CH Cedrik's Domino, and Maridadis Fantastic Lissi.

Laijo is at stud to approved bitches - so do not hesitate to contact us! Chilled semen available by arrangement.

We also hope to breed some Rhodesian Ridgeback-litters of our own in the future, so if you're interested, just give us a call.

Visitors are always welcome!

During 1999 - 2000 we hope to have Collie puppies in all three colours - all from our top quality bitches and dogs. Come and get your star!

We would also in the same time like to send greetings to our Collie- and RR-friends all over the world - keep up the good work, and keep smiling!
