Historical Kennel
MARJANIEMEN KENNEL is the oldest still functioning kennel in Finland. It was established by my great grandmother, Mrs. Margaritha Särkkä, in July 1936. Her breed was German Shepherd. She bred many famous dogs; several of them became champions. During the World War II many of her GSDs served as messengers or sanitary dogs, most legendary were Fin Field Ch. RAIMO MARJANIEMEN MARSKI and Fin. Double Ch. DINNIE V. MARJANIEMI.
My mother, Marja Kurittu fell in love with Cavaliers in the early fifties but her first own dog was however a Rottweiler. She got her first cavalier in 1979. He was a black/tan male Kindrum Dollar. He came to live with us in Egypt where her late husband served as a diplomat at the Finnish Embassy. During his long life, over 14 years, Tim lived or travelled with us in over 20 countries. He was a real ambassador of his breed and the start of most recent history of Marjaniemen Kennel
Over the years, different breeds followed such as King Charles Spaniel, Petit Brabancon Bruxellois, Japanese Chin, Chihuahua and German Shepherd to close the full circle in 2003.
Marja was also an internationally renowned show judge and was awarded the Emerita title in 2017 by the Finnish Kennel Club in recognition of her work and contribution in this field.
