At certain age most children discover they desperately want a dog. I was no exception, furthermore I was convinced I wasn't the city-person but belonged to the countryside, being appealed by the nature and animals. The perfect dog in my dreams was big and brave, loyal and gentle. 20 years passed and I had found my dreamdog in Fila. Before it happened I had my very first dog experience with Airedale Terrier Štšursi-Tšardei. She was a jovial dog with great spirit filled with positivity, at the same time she didn't lack this so terrier-like headstrong nature. Štšursi died at 13 years of age.

My heart belongs to Filas since 2000, since then I have also been hooked on the dogshows. However, the series of conformation titles in front of my dog's name have never been a number 1 goal for me - although showing is a pleasant hobby of mine, I primarily consider the dog's character, nervous system, correct temperament and health to be the top priorities.

In January 2004 we added a rescue dog in our family. Piiga aka Tuust is a friendly, energetic and spirited Rottweiler-Terrier mix.
