The first breed which I owned was the smooth haired dachshund, good choise for the young and active dog person.
The first CATELLUS puppies born at the 2nd of March 1967.
I have had 27 different litters in the following breeds: Welsh Corgi Pembroke 5, Sh. Dachshunds 15, Welsh Corgi Cardigan 3 and Lancashire Heeler 4. My dogs have been the family members and I have tried to give the best possible life to them for the puppy-age to the time of the end of their life.
At this time of over 30 years I have had many unforgettable dogs as:
FIN CH Lickes Trollius "Toni" (Börjebergs Kickenap - Tina) born:19.8.1959, died: 24.9.1969. Breeder Linda Tamminen. Toni was a very charming puppy with many lovely wrinkles and a colour like fire, beautiful dark red colour. I trained him for obedience and for showing. He got his first certificate (CC) very soon and after it we went to the huntingtest, where he won the needed 2:nd at the open class. After it he got the two CC's very easily. He had at least ten Best of Breed prizes at the shows. At home he was very friendly, faithful and he had a great sense of humour.
FIN,KVA,J Keidon Kute Maralyn "Merry (Dallaberg Dennis - Keidon Karennina) born 22.6.1968 Breeder Mrs.Rosemary Miller, England. Merry was the "Dog of my life". She had everything which you need from a dog. She was very clever and easy to train. We had many unforgettable moments at the huntingtests, where she did almost impossible works. She got her Ch titles quickly. As the brood bitch, she was excellent. She left me some very important puppies for breeding like FIN & S CH Catellus Examixa and FIN CH Catellus Fidelio. FIN CH Catellus Fidelio "Teemu" (Bergsmannens Janus - Keidon Kute Maralyn) was the most beautiful dachshund of my breeding. His father was from Sweden and was very welcome to our breeding. Teemu was much used and he left many champions. He was a beautiful Show-dog and a very good huntingdog. He was prised in two different varieties of hunting tests. His personality made him very loved in our family.
