Cathy Pollack and Lynn Drumm of Yutori Finnish Lapphunds in Wisconsin, and Gloria Beaudin of Shadagrace Kennels in Canada, are proud to announce the arrival of Peikkovuoren Niiskuneiti in North America. She arrived at 9 weeks old, and has already stolen the hearts of all 3 of her co-owners. Cathy Pollack flew to Finland to meet her breeders, and to bring her home.

We are extremely grateful to Taina Miettinen and Ari Friman of Peikkovuoren Finnish Lapphunds, in Finland for this wonderful opportunity to bring such outstanding bloodlines to this country. We also thank them for such a stunning puppy. The opportunity arose when Linda Marden of Sugarok notified us that this puppy was available to import. Lynn, Gloria and I were very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time and we thank Linda Marden for her assistance in making this happen.

The trip was a long one, but Taina met me (Cathy) at the train station in Jyvaskyla with Fin Ch. Lumiturpa Otso playing 'Finnish ambassador'. Otso kindly escorted me back to Taina's car, where Ari was waiting to drive us all home. They had planned a little party back at their home, where I met their good friends, one of whom was a veterinarian. They barbequed chicken and steak, and served me my first mug of Aqua Vita (and it has a kick!). I finally got to bed somewhere around 4am Sunday morning (having gotten off the train in Jyvaskyla at 11:37pm). On Sunday, Taina and Ari and their two sons showed me around their area, and some of the sights in Jyvaskyla. Then after an evening meal of Reindeer and mashed potatoes (sorry Santa), we visited Ari's Father and took a Finnish Sauna with desert served after! It was Fathers' Day in Finland. After returning back to their house I packed for an early departure to return with Niisku on Monday morning. Niisku is a daughter of 2007 Finnish Winner's show BOB winner , Fin. Ch. Lumiturpa Eppu and Peikkovuoren Finlanddia. She is a grandaughter of Lecibsin Hurmuri Hukka and carries the type and substance we admire. Niisku and Sony (our other Hukka grandaughter) will be very influential in our plans to establish the 'type' we want to produce here at Yutori.

Niisku (ab0ve) to Latte "Awww, c'mon you're not tired YET are you?"

Below, "are you my mother?" or, "two partners in crime". Niisku's mother was brown and looked very similar to Latte--so on first meeting, Niisku was very attracted to Latte--she followed her everywhere.
