Kennel Malinuts

I´m Mia Kujanpää, living in my home farm in Lieto, Finland. For my living, I take care of the animals (big and small) and work as a bartender. A secondary activity I study to become a teacher and BBA. I have also worked as a director of guard dogs and waiting for the approval of Animal welfare inspector of Finnish Federation for Animal Welfare Associations in my area.

I am hooked on dog sports from the bottom of my heart. There has been dogs in our house as long as the family history is known, mainly used for hunting and herding. My first own dog, mixed-breed male Jesse, was born in 1991, and his house watching-job ended at 17 years of age, for my parents great sorrow. First Belgian Shepherd in our house was owned by my aunt, tervueren male "Hiski" (Obricon Iki Noel), with whom I started obedience training and SAR in 1994. Malinois Nallehukan Oona came into the house in 1996 and since then the conversion or exchange of the breed has not even been considered.

At the moment, there are four malinois in our house, living in harmony with two Burmese cats, blue neutered male Arbiter Constantine, "Karma" and chocolate tortie female Bishamon Iia Illuusia "Kiukku".

At the moment, protectionwork (IPO/VPG) is nearest to my heart but I have tested my dogs also in exhibitions, KNPV, SAR, Mondioring, agility and obedience. Everything goes, as long both dog and the handler have fun. That is why I want a dog that works in everything you could possibly decide to try and still enjoys it.

I´m qualified instructor for Finnish Working Dog Association and an active member of SRY Turku, and also a member of the FWA in, FKC in and Belgian Shepherd Dog Association of Finland. All of our dogs live as family sleeping inside at night and running in thegarden with in from 5 AM to 10 PM. You are welcome to visit them, as long as you contact us in advance for scheduling. Kennel Malinuts was established in 1999, by the first litter born and the kennelname granted by FCI. My breeding is very small, with the aim of the breed standard, healthy, versatile working dog. This website is dedicated to the eternal and dearest friends of mine, Oona and Manne.

For the love to dogsports ,
