SHORTLY IN ENGLISH

welcome to the toller pages of Redadict!

Redadict Tollers are bred in home environment. All my own dogs are males so a very big thanks goes to my friend who leased her bitch and made the dream of first Redadict litter come true.
The first Redadict-litter was born in spring 2004.

Who am I ?

I have grown up in a house full of animals. We used to have dogs, cats and horses when my family lived in the countryside near Helsinki. I still have my now retired mare. With her I competed in the national level in both dressage and show jumping. One of her offspring's lives now in Oulu, in northern Finland. I have worked on a stud farm so breeding is not new for me.

Finally in 1999 I finally got my first own dog Nordwart Daidalos "Kössi". He was supposed to be just a nice companion and we had no high expectations. At that time I was still studying and busy with horses. Many times I have been very thankful that I had enough luck to get such a wonderful and versatile dog in every possible way. My second dog is Nordwart Ossian "Speedy", a lovely dog who just loves to train obedience! The third toller in our house is Tiitus, who is a "Vildduck" from Sweden. I am interested in all kinds of hobbies and now we do agility, obedience and much more. I respect the original purpose of tollers as a retriever and that is why I also train and participate in hunting tests. But mostly my dogs are beloved family members. The dogs guarantee that there is no day like the other and keep me happy. You can read more about my own dogs on their own home pages.

I work for one of the largest banks in Finland. I am the secretary for the Finnish toller club. I was a member of the committee and webmaster for few years but I rather concentrate on just one "job". And now it is time to concentrate on my own dogs and family.
