The Little Sister

Heini-Maari

I'm 20-year-old Heini-Maari Kemppainen living in Helsinki (Kivikko) with my dear husband Lauri. At the moment I work as a sales advisor at H&M Kämp Galleria in the very center of Helsinki. Unfortunately there aren't any dogs living with us in Helsinki as all our five lovely girls live at my childhood house in Kajaani (some 500km to North) with my parents and younger brother. I'm looking forward to have an Afghan male of my own - the sooner the better ;)

I had a successful junior handling career of 8 years from 1999 to 2006 showing multiple breeds and different dogs achieving most valuable experiences. Nowadays I handle mainly Afghan Hounds, but also other breeds every time when asked. I've been lucky to have three beautiful Afghan girls who all are International Beauty Champions and I'm proud of handling all of them by ourselves with my sister Hilla-Tuuli, ever since the age of 11 years.

At the moment I'm preparing myself to a ring steward and I'm excited to finish with it! I have also graduated in breeder's basic course and planning to continue with the second course in the future.

As my sister, I'm also very keen on dancing which was my main hobby for fourteen years including ballet, jazz and modern dancing. Here in Helsinki I've started with some salsa lessons and I've found it exciting trying some other styles after hard work of many years done in Kajaani Dance special training classes.

You're warmly welcome to take a look at our renewed website Tietahtiin.com - I hope you enjoy your stay!

Best wishes,
Heini-Maari
