Marja-Leena Kurvinen

Finland

I am 56 years old, breeder of dogs and cats, my prefix is A’dreams. My doggy hobby started with Dobermanns in the beginning of 1980’s. The first litter was born in 1987 and the last in 2008. My first Miniature Pinscher came in 1991 and I have bred them since 1993. In 20024 Dachshunds came into my life with my husband. When I was young, I took part in the activities of the local kennel association. With my Dobermanns I have taken part in shows, trials and competitions. I have also had positions of trust both in the Finnish Dobermann Club and in the Finnish Miniature Pinscher Club and at the moment I am educator for new judges. I became judge in 1993 and I judge breeds from the FCI group 2 and all breeds of the FCI group 4. I still breed Miniature Pinschers every now and then, but my main focus at the moment is on Maine Coon-cats and I show them very actively.
