Keiko came to us after long thinking from England, from Overhills kennel. Keiko was 10 weeks old, sweet puppy when she came by airplane to Finland. I picked her up from terminal together with my friend and there she was already telling that she was arrived by barking very loud. She still do that, barking I mean which is so opposite what Kuma does, he didn't bark at all.

Keiko is so femin than a female just can be, by her looks and nature:-) By her nature she is more reserved than Kuma was toward strainge people. Keiko's slogan is "with care good comes".

Keiko is very lovely dog by her nature. She is friendly to every dog and it won't depend of breed or size. She is wonderful dog in every way! Keiko is very hunting drive dog, she hunts everything which will move example tree's leefs.

She is also thight girl to watch her yard, she always let you know when someone is moving somewhere. Insides Keiko is very calm and she wants to keep you a company. If I'm reading or watch tv and lay on my soffa, Keiko usually climb next to me and will lay partly on me.

We haven't have so much hobbies with Keiko, just few shows. In shows we have had some success and we got our Champion title as soon as Keiko came majority. Travelling with Keiko is really easy, she doesn't stress that at all. We have been two World Winner Shows, in Portugal and in Amsterdam. We didn't got any major success in those shows, in Amsterdam Keiko won intermediate class, but we got experience:-)

Keiko was on break from shows quite a long time. I was hoping that I could have a puppies to her. Well, that didn't happend, even we tried. So no puppies and now we have made another plans. Keiko loves puppies and gladly she could offer some of her puppylove with Helga's puppies:-) Now we have started work out with her in serious way, we have to be a sight when we go with tobaggan by tires all around countryside:-) Keiko made an excellent comeback to the showrings, she was BOS in her first show after three years:-)

Keiko went also in mentaltest and result of that test only confirmed my impression of what kind of dog I have. Most of the test she act exactly like I was thought. Some parts of the test was suprises, but when you had thought them through for a while, you noticed that they are absolutely true, you just haven't thought them earlier so much. The test went great and it was really fun, at least for a dog owner wiev:-)
