We imported Dora from Finland in December 2009.
Having been captivated by the Finnish Import to the US - Clefell's Jaguar, his pedigree led me to find 'Dora' from the internationally renowned Ceriinan kennels of Anja Nikkonen, Finlands' top Pinscher breeders, and our friend Karen and I flew there early 2009 to choose Dora.
Dora has been much admired in the showring, having won a number of Best of Breed Awards both where Pinschers are scheduled and in Variety classes, and is Top Pinscher Bitch and Runner Up Top Pinscher 2010 and 2011.
Everyone who meets Dora is enchanted by her. She is huge fun with an equally large personality. Thank you Anja & Marisa, she is utterly wicked but you know how much we adore her and she makes us laugh every day!
In early September 2011, Dora and I journeyed to Finland to mate her to the excellent male - Int, Multi, Se Ch Lilla Eneby's Fabulous Rocko. We were blessed with a generous puppy fairy who gave us 8 lovely black pups on 1st November. I will be doing a puppy page soon. |

I took Dora to Amsterdam Winners show for a chance to qualify her for Crufts 2010 for her breeder Anja, as she and her friends were coming from Finland to Crufts. Arriving at Amsterdam and looking in the catalogue, we realised we may be out of luck as having expected a handful of dogs, we found one of the biggest entries in the breed for years - with 40 Pinschers! I had put Dora in Junior which was a qualifying class, but at 10 months old she was very immature against the other four females and was placed 3rd, however, she did at least get an Excellent grading which is unusual for a puppy. |

Although she is the smallest in the house (apart from the cat - with whom she is surprisingly gentle), Dora believes she is actually the biggest.
Honey maintained a strong 'bed hold' against Dora's efforts to muscle in.
