Muikku is from my first own litter, daughter of my Swedish import Manki. I like Manki, so I wanted her daughter as my next sports dog. Muikku seems to be an easygoing, joyful girl who loves to play with toys and takes food as reward although she is not as greedy for food as my other dogs. Muikku is very fast and passionate in everything she does, and she truly lives by her name - she has always some funny or not-so-funny ideas in her mind.
With Muikku I'm planning to concentrate on obedience. Since Fisu has been retired and Hukka has more potential in agility, I feel that I'm missing one obedience dog. In obedience Muikku is fast, active and intensive dog. She is very clever, she learns everything very fast and I see a lot of potential in her. She might not be the easiest dog for obedience, she sees everything around her and reacts sometimes before she has time to think - hopefully I will have skills to get her focus fully to the exercises instead of the environment. Agility I will try as well with Muikku, but obedience will probably be the main interest. Muikku met the sheep first time at 11 weeks of age, and she seems to be very keen and potential as herding dog. Hopefully she will be my next competition dog for herding.
