FIN ObCh & ShCh PIKKUPAIMENEN TWIST'N SHOUT "SPOOKY"




DOB 21.1.1997, hips A, elbows 0-0, eyes OK as puppy and adult, CEA & TNS normal

Spooky came to my life when Sinna was 2 years old. I got in touch with Iris Juusela and Juha Hakala, the owners of Pikkupaimenen Cinnamon Twist "Pepsi", who gave birth to a litter of 4 adorable black and white female puppies.Although all four puppies were sooooo cute, Spooky just seemed to be "the one".

Spooky had to undergo a surgery on her hip after an accident when she was only 6 months old so it took a while to get her started with sports. After she had recovered from the operation, she and I competed in obedience, agility and search&rescue. Spooky gained her obedience championship in September 2001 and competed in agility class 3. She was a very quick learner and concentrated always 100 %. Spooky was a fun dog to train with and she always made me laugh when doing something together. She still often does :)

Spooky has always been a cool girl, she doesn't really care what happens around her as long as she has her special people around her. Spooky has played a big role in raising the Eyewitness puppies, whether they were her own or not. Spooky is exceptionally good in teaching little puppies what is ok and what is not, and she is the one the puppies usually like to curl next to when they are sleepy.

Spooky went to some breed shows when she was younger, but we were always a bit unlucky in our "hunt" for the certificates ;-) At the age of ten years we started to show Spooky again, and on July 1st 2007 she received the Finnish Show Champion title.

At the moment Spooky is living the life of a happy grandma in the house, with some special priviledges. She is doing very well and is in a great shape for her age. I hope she'll stay that way for a long time!
