My life with Poodles began in 1998 when I got my first dog, apricot Toy Poodle Trucker's Blond Angelique "Linda", a dream come true. I was 10 years old at that time and I had been begging for a pet for a long time. Before getting a dog we visited some dog shows to see different dog breeds and I got totally hooked on the dog show world. Luckily we were able to get a really promising puppy from Sanna Koponen (kennel Trucker's). Linda did very well in dog shows - she's infact first Finnish-bred apricot Toy Poodle to achieve International Champion title in Finland. And as they say the rest is history. Nowadays Poodles aren't just a hobby for me, it's a passion and a way of life.

​

In 2003 Linda had her only litter which was registered under her breeder's Sanna Koponen's prefix Trucker's. From this litter I kept black female at home, Trucker's Moonspell "Brynja". Brynja later became the foundation bitch of my own line.

It was very natural progress for me to start breeding as I had dreamed about breeding dogs from the very beginning. I passed the Finnish Kennel Club's breeder's basic course in the fall 2005 and a year later in 2006 I got my own prefix LB Jolie. The name LB Jolie is in honour to Linda and Brynja, and the French word 'jolie' means pretty. The first LB Jolie litter was born in August 2008 and from that litter I also got my first Finnish and International Champion LB Jolie Sixshooter "Dregen".

​

My goal in dog breeding is to preserve the characteristics typical of the Poodle and to breed better Poodles that are healthy and have the correct Poodle temperament. Every litter is carefully planned, I don't breed for quantity I breed only for quality. I value health, healthy structure, temperament and correct type above all.

​

My kennel is so called home kennel - I don't have kennel areas or premises and all of my dogs live as beloved family members either with me, with my parents or with their co-owners. I breed on a small scale so I only have litters once in a while.
