Hello and welcome to my homepage!

My name is Anni Raittinen and I´ve lived all my life in Tampere, which is one of the biggest cities in Finland. I work as a country product manager in a exchange student company.

I´ve been involved with dog´s practically my whole life. My grandparents bred sighthounds and competed with them in showrings and on the track. Still it took almost 15 years to convince my parents to get me a dog. When they gave me the green light, there was no question about it which kind of dog it would be…

 I meet Outi Heikkinen, kennel Little Life almost ten years ago when I first got interested on Americancockerspaniel. This people loving and active breed stole my heart instantly! Finally in autumn 2005 “Wiivi” Little Life Hot Surprise moved in with us. Since then our family has grown and latest addition to our team is “Donna” Little Life Key to Secret. You can read more about them on their own page here.

When I was younger I competed in Junior Handling a bit, but I was never that interest on showing. Mainly because I was too nervous to go to the ring, so I was more than happy to let other people to do it . But with the help of friends and a lot of training I started to get the hang of it. Nowadays dog shows all around fill up my calender and it is a dear hobby of mine. You can read more about our latest success in news page! .

Thank you Outi Heikkinen, kennel Little Life for all your help during these years and sharing your knowledge about this wonderful breed. Your friendship has been invaluable !
