When I was a child we had some terriers at home. Black and Tan coloured Australian Terrier Ami was an enthusiastic camper like his owners. Ami had very sweet and kind temperament.

I got my first own dog, wheaten coloured Cairn Terrier Zany, when I was 15 years old. Together we took part on trimming courses and so I was able to trim my dog by myself at 15 years of age. Though Zany was somewhat persistent among many things there were never problems what comes on trimming his coat. When I moved away from home my parents got a West Highland White Terrier Winston.

My next dog was purchased together with my husband, it was a Smooth Fox Terrier called Huli. It was really sad when my husband became allergic and we had to give Huli away. But we didn't to give up and in 1996 we decided to try if Bichon Frise would be ok for us. Problems never appeared. Then we got a Scottish Terrier by a little accidence in 2000. We were supposed to take care of 3 months old female Scottie until she would find a new home. I am so happy about this chance, of course we couldn't give her away anymore and so Manta found the home she was looking for. Later she also got a Scottie friend, wheaten coloured Väinö.
