Menestys ei ole onnen avain.

Onnellisuus on avain menestykseen.
Jos rakastat mita olet tekemässä, menestyt.

- Albert Schweizer

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

-William A. Foster

Tavoitteenamme on pienimuotoinen, korkeatasoinen yorkshirenterrierin kasvatus kotioloissa. Haluamme kasvattaa sekä psyykkisesti että fyysisesti mahdollisimman terveitä ja rotumääritelmän mukaisia yorkshirenterrierejä. Koiramme kasvavat kotioloissa ja ovat arjessamme mukana rakastettuina perheenjäseninä. Asumme Jämsässä, Keski-Suomessa. Jämsä sijaitsee noin 60 km Jyväskylästä etelään ja 90 km Tampereelta pohjoiseen. 

Koirien kasvattamisen ainoat hyväksyttävät syyt ovat rakkaus koiria ja rotua kohtaan sekä rodun parantaminen, johon haluamme olla osaltamme vaikuttamassa positiivisesti. Saavuttaaksemme kasvatustyölle asettamamme tavoitteet, ovat pentueemme tarkkaan harkittuja ja ajatuksella suunniteltuja.

Käytämme jalostukseen vain terveystarkastettuja ja rodunomaisia yksilöitä, jotka ovat rodun jalostussuositusten mukaisista yhdistelmistä. Useimmilla koirillamme on myös näyttelymenestystä. Emme teetä pentuja ainoastaan myyntiä varten. Koska haluamme hoitaa koiramme mahdollisimman hyvin lisäämättä omaa koiramääräämme liiaksi, pyrimme usein sijoittamaan pentueesta lupaavimman yksilön mahdollista tulevaa kasvatusta varten. Kokemuksemme sijoituksista ovat olleet erittäin positiivisia ja kaikki sijoituksemme ovat sujuneet hyvässä yhteistyössä.

Olemme käyneet Kennelliiton kasvattajakurssin sekä allekirjoittaneet Kennelliiton kasvattajasitoumuksen. Olemme Suomen Kennelliiton ja Yorkshirenterrieri Ry:n jäseniä. Sanna on toiminut Yorkshirenterrieri Ry:n hallituksessa 2007-2008, puheenjohtajana 2016 ja jalostustoimikunnan puheenjohtajana 2019. Harrastamme koiranäyttelyitä ja olemme aktiivisesti mukana myös muissa rodun tapahtumissa. Sanna työskentelee Evidensia Tampereen Veter eläinsairaalassa.

Toivomme, että kaikki kennelissämme syntyvät pennut tuottavat omistajilleen yhtä paljon iloa kuin omat koirani ovat meille tuottaneet. Pitäkäämme yhdessä huolta pikkuisistamme sekä samalla tämän upean, pienen ja valloittavan rodun tulevaisuudesta.


About us

My love with Yorkshire Terriers started with our first Yorkie Jessi (born 1995) I inspired about the breed and with my second Yorkie Nuppu I totally started to dream about breeding one day. That time I was an active member of the Finnish Yorkshire Terrier Society, Member of the Board, studying a lot about the breed and graduated from Finnish Kennel Club breeder courses. And finally, after going to dog shows, meeting with other breeders and after getting my first dog as a Finnish Champion, our first Yorkshireterrier litter was born in 2008 under the prefix of Tinydewills, which was registered at FCI and Finnish Kennel Club couple of years earlier.

pokaalikuva.jpgWe are situated in Middle Finland, in beautiful small city of Jämsä, 60 km from Jyväskylä and 90 km from Tampere.

I work in Evidensia Animal Hospital Veter in Tampere and nowadays I am also an active member in Finnish Yorkshireterrier Society.

A high quality Yorkshireterrier is the combination of the health, the character with right temperament and an appearance of the breed standard. My goal is to produce the best quality, not quantity, so we breed yorkies only on a small scale and have puppies occassionally available for approved, loving homes. Thank you for you all supporting me in my loving hobby to find the right way and the key to success in my breeding!


20 principles of Breeding Better Dogs

1. Remember that the animals you select for breeding today will have an impact on the breed for many years to come. Keep that thought firmly in mind when you choose breeding stock.

2. You can choose only two individuals per generation. Choose only the best, because you will have to wait for another generation to improve what you start with. Breed only if you expect the progeny to be better than both parents.

3. You cannot expect statistical predictions to hold true in a small number of animals (as in one litter of puppies). Statistics only apply to large populations.

4. A pedigree is a tool to help you learn the good and bad attributes that your dog is likely to exhibit or reproduce. A pedigree is only as good as the dog it represents.

5. Breed for a total dog, not just one or two characteristics. Don't follow fads in your breed, because they are usually meant to emphasize one or two features of the dog at the expense of the soundness and function of the whole.

6. Quality does not mean quantity. Quality is produced by careful study, having a good mental picture of what you are trying to achieve, having patience to wait until the right breeding stock is available and to evaluate what you have already produced, and above all, having a breeding plan that is at least three generations ahead of the breeding you do today.

7. Remember that skeletal defects are the most difficult to change.

8. Don't bother with a good dog that cannot produce well. Enjoy him (or her) for the beauty that he represents but don't use him in a breeding program.

9. Use out-crosses very sparingly. For each desirable characteristic you acquire, you will get many bad traits that you will have to eliminate in succeeding generations.

10. Inbreeding is a valuable tool, being the fastest method to set good characteristics and type. It brings to light hidden traits that need to be eliminated from the breed.

11. Breeding does not "create" anything. What you get is what was there to begin with. It may have been hidden for many generations, but it was there.

12. Discard the old cliché about the littermate of that great producer being just as good to breed to. Littermates seldom have the same genetic make-up.

13. Be honest with yourself. There are no perfect dogs (or bitches) or are there perfect producers. You cannot do a competent job of breeding if you cannot recognize the faults and virtues of the dogs you plan to breed.

14. Hereditary traits are inherited equally from both parents. Do not expect to solve all of your problems in one generation.

15. If the worst puppy in your last litter is no better than the worst puppy in your first litter, you are not making progress. Your last litter should be your last litter.

16. If the best puppy in your last litter is no better than the best puppy in your first litter, you are not making progress. Your last litter should be your last litter.

17. Do not choose a breeding animal by either the best or the worst that he (or she) has produced. Evaluate the total get by the attributes of the majority.

18. Keep in mind that quality is a combination of soundness and function. It is not merely the lack of faults, but the positive presence of virtues. It is the whole dog that counts.

19. Don't allow personal feelings to influence your choice of breeding stock. The right dog for your breeding program is the right dog, whoever owns it. Don't ever decry a good dog; they are too rare and wonderful to be demeaned by pettiness.

20. Don't be satisfied with anything but the best. The second best is never good enough.
