My name is Tuija Kostiainen, but everybody calls
me Tupu. I live with my housemate Lennu in Porvoo
(about 50 kilometers to east from Helsinki).
My hobbies are, including pets, music (singing,
playing and listening), outdoor activities and dawdling.

I have always loved animals very much and i have
owned different kind of pets, from budgies to dwarf
clawed frogs. Since i was a little girl, i had hoped
for my own dog. When i moved to my own apartment,
i decided to have a dog. Springtime in 1996 i suddenly
found a puppy, which stole my heart. And so Donna
moved to my home. An year after i got interested in
agility. I have been working as an obedience adviser
at a puppy-group, i have passed agility officer course
1999 and also basic course (working-dog) 2009.
I run really really slow and everyone knows how fast
beardies can be, so i gave up that idea to have an
own agility-beardie. My body-language is more like
i'm trying to be a helicopter! :-) At the fast events
it isn't a good combination that both of us
has ad/hd... :-)
I have interested in obedience and train a working dog,
but when me and my dog have a chance to try herding,
we both loved it. :-)


Best Regards
