Sno'proof Samoyeds   Suomeksi

Who's behind the Sno'proof Samoyeds...?

My name is Jenni Korpisalo-Kohvakka and I'm 27 years old female (pictures below). I was born in Lappeenranta, a city near the Russian border in South East Finland. I moved together with my fiance (nowadays my husband) Jari to Helsinki because of our studies in 1999.

We live in a rowhouse appartment near a little forest and outdoor recreation area. Only Daisy, Ronja and Zelda live with us, Rosa enjoys her retirement days with my parents in Lappeenranta. Daisy, Ronja and Zelda can enjoy such habits as sleeping on the sofa, climbing the stairs up and down and of course get us out for a walk. They are our beloved pets and companions.

I'm currently working in a contact center and trying to finish my studies in University of Helsinki, in Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry and my major is Food Chemistry. I will be a Master of Science (Food Sciences), hopefully soon. I study also Computer Science as a minor. These pages are some kind of a proof of what I can do with computer. My other hobby is to surf around the Internet, do and update homepages and make graphics to homepages.

Why I have Samoyeds? I have to blame my sister, as her first dog was a Samoyed, Emma (Jetjami Eveliina). With Emma we got to know what are dog shows, grooming, handling etc. I also tried agility first time with Emma. When Emma was just one year old came Kössi, Jetjami Kulkuri (later on Finnish Champion), whose co-owner I was. Kössi was our first show dog. Unfortunately everything didn't went as we had planned and we lost him in a quite young age. Kössi had the right Samoyed smile and expression and he was a wonderful pet. He will be forever missed...

After we moved to Helsinki, it took a year to be without a dog. First came Daisy and seven months later Ronja. Daisy isn't so show girl so we have trained other things. Agility is our main sport but I have trained Daisy some obedience tricks to ease our life. Ronja has been quite opposite, but she can also some tricks, but won't do them so fast as Daisy..

My main interest with dogs are dog shows. I have been attending shows since 1993 and am still very active, although I have only one "Show Sammy". I love to handle dogs, especially Samoyeds. I'm also a ring steward, which is the other way to be at the dog shows. I have meet different kinds of dog enthusiast and it has opened my eyes to other point of views.

I'm a member in following dog related clubs;
   - Suomen Kennelliitto-Finska Kennelklubben / Finnish Kennel Club
   - Suomen Samojedinkoirayhdistys ry / The Samoyed Association of Finland
   - Helsingin Seudun Samojediklubi ry / Samoyed Club of Helsinki Area
   - Lappeenrannan Seudun Samojediyhdistys ry / The Samoyed Association of Lappeenranta
   - Suomen Valjakkosamojedit / Sledding Samoyeds of Finland
   - Hakunilan Seudun Koiraharrastajat

Breeding Samoyeds will be the new thing for me. I will keep it very small, I try to plan the next litter before the first one is even born and if possible I try to keep one or two puppies co-owned, as our home isn't big enough for having much dogs. And I don't want to have so many dogs at home, it's much easier to have just two or three, that way you can spend much more quality time with each of them.

It's nice to see you here. We hope you have enjoyed your visit in our pages and come back soon again, maybe we have made something new...
