Zora welcomed seven beautiful babies on August 2, 2026! We have four girls and three boys, all happy and healthy. We can't wait to watch them grow!
This is a highly anticipated litter - I have loved Kari for a long time and have had frozen semen on him for a few years now, waiting for the right time to use it. I couldn't be more excited to be making this match, and I'm very grateful for Kari's owner Riika for working with me to bring his genes to the US. Kari is an international champion, and a champion in Finland, Estonia and Latvia. He also holds titles in herding, agility, obedience and rally. Beyond his own accomplishments, he is a proven producer with champion offspring who also excel in herding and other performance events. Zora's first litter is almost two now and are growing up beautifully. She was an excellent mother, whelping and nursing her puppies naturally and easily. She has continued to excel as a working service dog and sport dog as well, having debuted in agility and progressing in her other sports: scentwork, rally, obedience and conformation. She is very close to finishing her Rally Championship and her Grand Championship. Zora is confirmed pregnant and is due on August 3, 2026. These puppies should be very biddable and engaged and love working with their owners. Performance homes will be prioritized. Hopefully they will be as beautiful as their parents and some will go on to be successful in conformation as well. You can learn more about Zora (follow the link) and Kari below!

HWT IHT3 AGI3 ROB4 Kari Fra Klettakoti
Riika, Kari's owner, says: Kári is my second dog and by far my easiest dog ever (four in combined) The best thing he knows is attention from me (or even better, my mother). That has been the thing that made him so easy to train and do trials with. In everyday life Kári has never had a need to chase cars or bikes. So having him as a city dog was super easy. Other dogs has not been meaningful to him, so he has never been the type that barks or lunges to other dogs. But he is playful and gets a long with other dogs well. He has dog friends male and female alike. His best dog friend is an other male Skirnir. Even though they were both unneutered when they became friends. They still are best of friends now as Kári is 14 and Skirnir is 13 Kári still is unneutered because that has never been a problem for him in anyway. As a trial dog (or a hobby dog?) He has been the best! What ever makes me happy he wanted to do. So we have done a lot of things. Agility, obedience, rally obedience and herding as a competition level. We have also done a little water rescue, human search and nosework. He is a dog that you can trust 100% all the way. But what he loves the most is herding and because of his will and love for that I became a herding judge to TS-herding here in Finland. Nothing makes him more happy than herd sheep in the forest or field. Even now he has the same smile all the time even if he cannot do that long anymore. As a puppy or a young dog he had no need to destroy anything, only thing he ate was one pair of shoes. He has also had no trouble being alone in the house or car or anywhere. He does not stress about that. And he was an only dog for almost two years. And he has lived in an apartment where my neighbors did not even know I had a dog before they met me with it. Something not so typical for icie is that he has never been too greedy for food. He has always maintained his weight himself. If he is not hungry he does not eat. So it has never been an issue to keep him fit. All in all he has been easy dog. He was also 100% to have loose everywhere until he lost his hearing.
