About us

I'm Sanni Husso and the story of Kennel Spektrin beginned much more earlier than first litter was born. Before I got my first dog Australian Shepherd Kina, I worked with horses in western reining and some problem horses too. I have always loved to work with animals and tried to understand their behavior and temperament better. 

With Kina we went straight to competing in different dog sports and Kina was the best companion to do that. She was ready to do it all for me. She defenitely is a dog of a life time for me. So naturally I wanted to make pups for her, but natur didn't want that, it just never happened. After Kina, I have had many dogs and I tryed to start breeding many times for over 14 years, but there has always been something to hold me back. My criteria of health or dogs temperament has been the reason not to breed sertain dogs. I try to consider breeding so that I would be ready to take a pup for my self from all of my litters I breed. 

My main sport is agility but I have started doing more and more herding every year. My dogs are all from different back rounds and lines, and that is actually the reason for our kennel name Spektrin. All dogs will be their own colorful personality and we celebrate that. 

Breeding principles

My goal is to breed working bordercollies that are excellent sporting and working dogs. Their temperament at home must be great and, even though they will have stamina to work all day in a field, they do have to have an off-switch at home. 

Health is the single most important thing in our breeding. Our dogs are always thoroughly ex-rayed and tested and I do a lot of research of their backround. I hope that pups new homes do these thing too, for us to get information about their health. 

I try not to breed only to specific sports like herding or agility, but dogs that would love to do any sports you choose. To get in this goal, I try to look dogs temperaments and performance stability critically. I try to mach dogs from same type of mindsets and support some weak aspects to get fully good minded dogs. I do understand some things can't be bred and not all qualities are even hereditary. But I do think strong and good minded dogs traits will come from lines. 

Puppies will have strong herding instincts, cause all my breeding is from strong herding lines. This is good to understand from the beginning, that they will have strong drive to work too. 

Puppies will grow up in a home environment, around everyday noises and smells ext. They will start going to trips outside, they will be socialized and offered other stimulates like different surfaces. Pups will go only to sporting or working homes. They will leave to a new home at the age of 8 weeks. They will have been vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and they will have pedigree in FCI and/or ISDS registary. 

We do not keep any reservations up front. Puppies will be selected to a new home by their temperament and suitability to that specific home. This will be done around pups are 5 weeks old. I do consider your requests for preference and you are welcome to visit pups after they are 3 weeks old. 

If you are interested of a pup from us please read through our page and facebook, because there will be lots photos and information there. You are welcome to ask me anything!
