Once upon a time....
	The Story begins in year 1978, when 14-years old girl Riitta and her hot-headed groenendael puppy Acme (Jojo) met. They made history…Jojo won the Finnish Working Championship competition when the trainer Riitta was only 16-years old. Of cause the parents and older trainers gave a lot of help too. Jojo was International Champion and International Working Champion as well - and that is still quite unique in the whole world. Matti and Riitta met in 1986 and that's the way Matti became familiar with the dogs. We live at countryside in Shout-West of Finland in a little nice village Askainen. Nearest big town is Turku (about 35 km). Our dogs are family members and they live inside the house with us. Sometimes they all sleep in our bed and maybe because of this they make good working results!?! We train our dogs to the best of our ability. Each puppy has his/her own high aims and because we make a lot of work to succeed, we also expect our dogs to do they best also. Every dog has individual capacity for working and we respect that. Our dogs have achieved: 1 x International Working Champion 4 x Working Champion in Finland 1 x Working Champion in Sweden 2 x Agility Champion in Finland 2 x International Champion 5 x Champion in Finland 3 x Champion in Sweden 1 x Champion in Norway Master in Working Championship in Finland (all working breeds) 1981 and 2000, second 1982 and 1986 Several local championships in working trials and agility
	. If the dog can't reach the goals, we don't abandon him/her. Our dogs live with us as far as they are happy and healthy. Groenendael is definitely the best working dog for us. We have had Black Russian Terriers (a working breed also): - female Grifmus Jelena (1980 - 1993) - male Acmen Balavnik (1988 - 1999) To our dog family belongs also "a little noisy big man" Swedish Vallhund FIN Agility Ch, FIN Ch JAXONVILLE ARAGORN (Juri, born 1990). Breeder Oili Helenius has made own homepages to Juri.
