About Us
I'm Heidi Lonnakko and I live in Keminmaa, Finland, with my family and our whippets. I work as a servicechef in a medical laboratory and all the spare time I spend with my dogs and activities with them.
I've owned and been interested in english springerspaniels since 1987. Our first litter was born -91 and we bred alltogether 4 litters springerspaniels with my mother. We mainly went to the dog shows, but in the '90s I was practising obedience training and agility with my dogs too.
I've always admired sighthounds and in the 1999 I finally got my first one. Whippet-girl Iisa, Ch Pipsqueak Dream Catcher really got me to fall in love with this breed. The first Zaraque's whippet-litter was born in 2001. We breed approximately one litter per year, allways thinking and searching right combinations carefully. In addition to shows we go in for lure coursing and time to time in track racing too with our dogs. I really think that "versatility complifies the beauty".
