Something about us...

Dogs has always been near to my heart. When I was younger I knew more about working dogs.  The first irish wolfhound came 2002. New rase and new hobbie... I had lots of things to learn. As a surprisefor me too I interested in breeding. I took a breeders basic course year 2005. At the same year I got my kennelname Oscailte. Oscailte is Irish language and it means same as english word open.

From the beginning  we partisipated in all kinds of  happenings. Suddenly we find out that we were active part in Finnish Irish Wolfhound Club. Sami has been webmaster in Irish Wolfhound Clubs  website. Now he has withdrawn from that job.  Sami is so curious that he began to count IW's showpoints beside offical countinter, for his own fun. Later he bagan to count offical showpoint of IW in Finland. Some while ago Sami took part of Scottish Deerhunds show points counting and helped them with their website.

Sami is interested in dogshows. He set up a internet site IW's resultboard in 2006. Resultboards purpose is to collect there all the IW's dogshow results. IW's owners send results to Sami and Sami put them to internet. Sami puplish IW's showpoints in there too.

After many coincidences in the end of year 2006 Sami ended up to lay out IW magazine. After all I became a chief editor and Sami became a lay outer. Temporary job is still continues.

Our first Irish Wolfhound: Whitefang Eternity "Hemmo" came us in 2002. Before Hemmo we had german shephard Ninjan Werner "Wellu". Wellu ded for twisted stoach in summer 2005at the age of 10. At same summer we moved in  country. In autumn 2005 came  Hertta-Ässän Dileas "Julle". In next March we got Hemmos sisters girl  Whitefang Feme of Oscailte "Wiivi". Wiivi was very beautiful girl. Unfortunately Wiivi had so bad groing disorders that we had to make hard decision. Wiivi was put to sleep 6 month of age in autumn 2006. After that swedish breeder offer us IW male. We considered that offer lonf and hard. Eventually we ger that puppy from Sweden. That hansome male is  Sall'bazz Tor "Ukko". So I have this dream to became a breeder. Now I only missed an bich. That good bich was foud near. Spring 2007 came  Sapwood's Amusing Autumn "Mimmi". In December 2008 we brought from Slovakia to Finland beautiful bitch, Gaynor Roan Inish "Myrna". Myrna is co owned by me and Riitta Toivonen, Kennel Whitefang.

... and this is how it started...
