FOLLIES LABRADORS of Helena and Anna-Liisa Kaitila, Finland

    I started our kennel of Labradors in the 70's with two black bitche FIN CH Susanset Inez and Susanset Jokeriina. The present stock, however, is based on the British imported bitches of which the two first were yellows Heatherbourne Partypiece (born -78 by GB SH CH Poolstead Problem - GB SH CH Heatherbourne Top Tune) and FIN CH Balrion Witching Hour (born -82 by GB SH CH Bradking Kassidy - GB SH CH Balrion Wicked Lady).

    Very succesfull littermates from these lines were FIN CH Follies Uriah Heep, FIN CH Follies Ursula Andress and Follies Up To Date (3 CC's) born -86 by Pastime's Timebomb - Follies Milk and Honey.

    One of the absolutely top winning males in the 90's was the yellow INT 6 FIN CH Follies Cutty Sark (born .89 by Wetherlam Mace - Follies Viscountess), a Witching Hour great-grandson. He had several BIS and BOS wins at the biggest breed speciality shows under famous breed specialist judges.

    From 1991 my daughter Anna-Liisa has been officially co-owner of our kennel, but she has shown our dogs at shows from her childhood and helped in many other ways. 

    Our present star INT, FIN & EST CH, NordW-01 W-01-02 Follies Storm Petrel (yellow born -98 by FIN CH Brookhill's Daddy's Hope - Follies Olympia) is grandson of Cutty Sark. He has had some really thrilling wins at shows. 

    In the 90's we have imported Balnova Blushing Bride (yellow born -90 by GB SH CH Sandylands Royal Escort - Balnova Blossom at Ryedown) and the black Balnova Fragrant Bloom (born -96 by Brightwalton Born A Star - Balnova Just For Luck) both from Sheila and Keith Wallington, England. 

    Our two latest champions are littersisters from these combined lines, namely FIN CH Follies Allie (black) and FIN CH Follies Annabella (chock.) born -00 by FIN CH Follies Rule Of Thumb - Balnova Fragrant Bloom. 

    Our hopes for the future at the moment are three Storm Petrel daughters. The black Follies Wood Lark (born -00 out of Follies Karelia) has got two CC's and is a speciality show winner. Her firts litter was born 30.7.2002 by VDH CH Tweedledum Crispy Duck.

    Tweedledum Folies Bergerer (black born -01 out of Tweedledum Curtain Call - Crispy Duck's sister) got her first CC in a speciality show last spring. And the cream colured Rosanan Ice Follies (co-owned with the breeder born -01 out of Rosanan Be My Rose) has begun her show career with great style winning our Lab Clubs Puppy & Veteran Show BIS Puppy in October -02.
