Hello! We are Kaisa Partanen and Kimmo Pakkanen. We have had dogs since always.. our breeds are English Setters, Swedish Elkhounds and Plotthounds. All of our dogs are used for hunging.

We live in Kontiolahti, Finland. It is in east of Finland, about 450km from the capital city Helsinki. We live near Joensuu's airport.

Let us introduced to you:

Kaisa: I have owned dogs since my childhood. My first dog was black pug and after that I have owned labrador retrievers. My interest to English Setters began at the early on 90-ties. I purchased my first English Setter Roona in 1995. I have bred one English Setter litter in 1997 under my kennel name Cenhamn's. I imported my second English Setter Ruudo from Canada in 2002. Ruudo is one of the famoust english setter producers in Europe. At this moment I have two english setters at my home; Ruudo's son Leo and American import Jason. For me it is very important that dog has a good healthy pedigree, good temperament and skills for hunting. I am a member of Finnish Kennel Club and English Setter of Association of America.

Kimmo: I have had dogs since my childhood. My family have always had Swedish Elkhounds, grey Norwegian Elkhounds and Karelian Bear Dogs. My main hobbies are hunting with dogs and going to hunting tests with them. I have gone hunting tests since beginning of 1990 with my dogs, as a judge and as a guide. I have gone over hundred hunting tests over these years. I am also chief judge to elk tests and bear tests.

I breed Swedish Elkhounds under kennel name Pakkalan. My brood bitch is working champion Novi.

At this moment I have two swedish elhounds at our home: Juno and Jada. Also a new breed to our family is plotthound; we have plott girl Brite in our home too.
