Siiri's breeder says of her: "Siiri = Hestia, I think she is maybe my best hunting dog ever, she likes underground working, to swim and get the duck, hunting deer or rabbit and she has nice look too."
Siiri's mother SE VCH FIN MVA Maxi-Tax Cassandra (born 1999)
Ilse Kokkenen: "Sandra = Cassandra was very nice little girl, weight 7kg (15.5 lbs) and good hunting dog for rabbit hunting and blood tracking. She moved still very well at 10 years." The black/tan in the third photo is Sandra's mother Essi.
Sandra's mother FIN KVA-L Escapade Vom Weezer Manist (born 1993 in Germany)
Ilse Kokkenen: "Essi = Escapade was tiny bitch, 6 kg (13 lbs), and very good with fox. Even though she was small she was The Queen of house, excellent temperament and crazy swimmer. If your little bitch likes to swim, maybe some genes have came from here? I told Essi's breeder her passion for water and he said that Essi's mom and grandmother likes also to swim in the sea." Essi was a working champion on fox in Finland.
