Must Be Doing Something Right..!

August 25th, 2013

Almost a month has gone by since this page was exposed to the eyes of all you people around there on the internet, and some changes has been made since. Some smaller tweaking here and there, and now some bigger updates, which is why I'm writing to you now on this News-section! About Us and The Kennel-sections have been re-written at some extent; nothing big, just some information has been added. At Our Dogs-section, Brutus has now some text to open up his wonderful personality to you all, Misc-section now has a photo and in the sub-pages of this said section you can now find the Original, 1886 Breed Standard of Saint Bernards! The real, original Swiss version; go and take a look, for that is our main guideline as a kennel when it comes to our future breeding! And last but not least, the Links-section now have all the links actually added to the text, so you can now visit the sites of our co-operation kennel and other kennels worthy of linking, as well as the other important sites listed there!

So, lots of interesting updates. And more is to come later! But for now, go and have a peek at these while waiting!

Dashing through the snow..

November 8th, 2013

Hiya, our dear visitors! Has it really been over a month since the last update..?! Damn! We have been living busy times, but I beg your pardon still. Anyhoo, some updates has been made; the text in About Us-section is now longer with more added details about our life and pets, and one new photo! Also, The Kennel-section, as well as Brutus' and Poju's pages has new pictures added to them, so go and check those out! The Links-section now has more links, some leading to other kennels, some to Finnish breed clubs, etc.. And, well, I guess that's all what comes to updates, folks - more to come later on!

I have to say, I have been having a puppy fever! But not the normal dog person's kind; but the breeder's kind! I can't wait for the first Vediovis babies to see the light of day, but I do have some waiting to do still before that *sigh*.. First, I have to get me the perfect bitch, and that's going to happen next year, most likely! Hopefully.. So, I shall resist all the cute pups that has been popping around in my friends' kennels, and wait for the coming year! It's not going to be easy, but we will do it!

But that was all for now from Lapland, Finland!

 

Team Vediovis - out!

Health before anything..!

March 17th, 2014

So has the months rolled by and the day of Brutus' 2nd birthday is just around the corner! We went to take the official hip and elbow health results from him at Wednesday, 12th of March, as planned. There was a bit of nervous energy and excitement in the air as we park outside Animagi Oulu; what was to come, it was on top of everyone's minds! In the vet, everything went fine, the scans were taken, and the vet said that the result should be healthy all she knows..

Fingers, toes, and every place else imaginable crossed, we started the drive home; we still had to wait for the official statement from the Kennel Club! On Saturday 15th, the pictures arrived at the Kennel Club and I paid the due the next day.. It was time for some drumroll, but I didn't too much about it; I was oddly calm given the fact this was something we had been working towards for almost two years now!

Today, I finally got to know the results, and I wasn't even the first one to notice them, but given some congratulation from a certain person I went to look for the results, heart thumping in my chest.. And when I finally saw them, I let out a cry of happiness!

Now it's official! Citykarhun Brutus aka Brutus was stated healthy, hips being A/A and elbows 1/0..! That's more than I dared to hope for; this is enough for us, especially when we have heard statements from some people who claimed Brutus was "horrible sick" or "certainly has a horrid hip dysplasia"..! There it is now, my "horribly hip dysleptic" boy; the is no better hips than that! ^^ And the elbow result isn't bad either, on the contrary!
 

Here's a good place to continue planning the future! Where we will end up, time will tell! (: At least one thing's sure, and that is that Brutus will now be put available for stud!

 

Wishing you all Great Spring!

Winds Of Change..!

July 8th, 2014

A moment has passed again from the last update and stories of our daily lives! (: Brutus has been fine, as well as myself, not counting some little mishaps from time to time, when I got some backlashing from certain people once again. But that's all behind now, thank goodness!

New things has been happening very quickly, and so happened, that I moved into a new home with my animals! So, Kennel Vediovis has officially moved now, and no longers recides in Kemi; our mascot Poju still lives with his owner, my sister, in our old place, and we shall visit there often, I'm sure! ^^ Our new location is in Kaakamo, Tornio. We now live with my boyfriend and his family on their dairy farm, and as you can probably guess, Brutus has had much to wonder about what those big, horned dogs are..! They are cows, of course, and the other day we made some closer aquintances with them; both parties, Brutus and the cows, seemed to be very curious about each other, and I think there will not be any conflicts between them in the future (:
 

With everything that has been going on, what with moving and me about to graduate from the private art school, we have been so busy, I decided not to register Brutus into the Kemi's International Dog Show like planned - nor to any other show this year! That's right, this is now going to be a vacation, show free year for Brutus; we will return to the show ring next year, and not before, most probably :> Of course there's always a chance I change my mind, but this is the most probable solution..!

Have A Great Summer, everyone!

Winds Of Change, part 2..!

November 12th, 2014

A lot has happened since the last News post..! The decision to move to another town, to the country, was one of the biggest but also best decisions in our lives - here, at the country side, you can truly live <3 The area is perfect for us, plus I have always wanted to live in a place like this, so.. All's well that ends well, yes! And this is a great place to breed and raise dogs in peace (:

But to the more doggish news.. I have pondered long and hard, all spring, through summer and fall, and finally come to the conclusion that Brutus shall most likely not - aside the fact that his health results were almost perfect - be used in breeding after all! The decision was difficult and I did it with partly a heavy heart, but after long thinking and reflecting I came to the conclusion that I don't want to be a part of furthering certain matador-lines' preservation in Saints. Other breeders are doing this enough already, and my breeder's moral and ethics does not give way in this matter.. I think matador breeding is never good, and in this certain line there has been, according to my research on the matter, some bad influences on the future generations, so that's that. Brutus shall still always be mom's littlebig darling and well-loved member of the family <3 It is a great shame that I most likely will never get an offsping out of him, one that would stay with me when the time passes by of this lovely boy of mine, but this is for the better of the breed and the puppies that shall never be..

But no matter..! I will now give away a secret, that we have new plans brewing for the future, winds of changes in the dog front! What those plans are, I shall not give that away just yet - lets not party before sundown ;3 But the plans are coming along quite fine and I'm very hopeful..!

I now leave you with these thoughts!

With Warmest Greetings for Up-coming Winter!
