  Kit lived her first 3 weeks with Riitta and Pekka in Paippinen. Then Kit with her sisters and brothers moved to Raffe's home, and lived next 4 weeks with Anki and her family in Sotunki.

I saw the pupies when they were 3 weeks, and paid attention to b&w puppy, "Fransa". When puppies lived with Anki, I visited them a lot. I saw puppies together and one at the time at Anki's home and in her garden. The little Fransa was still the number one...

And so this little Fransa moved to our home and got the name Kit. Actually her name is Kitt, because her name is after Night Rider's car, Kitt: just normal looking car, but inside has secret power, tricks and humour ...

Kit loves to play and she has a very good ability to concentrate. She is also very eager for all kind of food. She is not over-alive or -lively, as a
BC-puppy could be, but she has good speed and energy for all sports - and dangerous situations :) Actually, Kit has a perfect temperament and personality for living with Nana: Kit plays with Nana a lot but doesn't bother her all the time.

As a puppy
Kit started to train some obedience and tracking. Kit is excellent in both of them! For tracking she has almost perfect nosework and concentration, it's a pleasure to watch her work and work & train with her.

Kit started obedience competitions in the fall 2007 and she gained the Finnish Obedience Champion title in the spring 2008. In the fall 2009 & 2010 Kit was Obedience Winner In The County Of Central Finland. In May 2010 Kit was chosen for the Finnish Obedience Training Ring. Also in May 2010 Kit competed in Denmark, Esbjerg, and she gained Danish Obedience Champion - title. In Juni 2010 Kit competed in Sweden, Bollnäs, and gained Swedish ObCh - title with 304.5/320 points, and also Nordic Obedience Champion - title. Duktig Kit, hurraa!

In working dog trials Kit competes tracking in the highest class. Competition includes obedience, searching objects and tracking (1,5km, 2h old). In May 2010 she gained 2/3 legs to Working Dog Champion - title.
The last result must be gained during another year. The first chance was in June 2011, and Kit did it great: 286/300 and WTCh - tittle, wau!

In February 2011 Kit started to train agility with Kiti Levistö, who has competed for long. Kit loves and really enjoys agility with Kiti. They had their first competition in May, only 1 little mistake and 5p - but so lovely co-work and speed! Their training and competitions will continue in the fall 2011.

Kit has
also done some herding with sheep in 2006-08. Kit paid attention to sheep more and more, but unfortunately we moved and now there are very little chances to continue this great hobby.

Both Kit’s parents Raffe and Ben have done herding and they both have a title from “herding basics” (PPR1
/ Vallpr). That’s why Kit is registered also to Finnish Herding Dog Society. Kit seems to have eye for herding, so we hope we can continue this fine activity some day!
