The Daragoj story
Although Beagles have been the love of my life, the Daragoj story did not
start with these merry little hounds. In fact,
there is quite a bit of history preceding the
purchase of my first Beagle. I registered my prefix with the Finnish
Kennel Club in 1966 when my first litter of
Borzois was born.
My foundation bitch was International and Nordic Ch. Kara-Kyralina de
Norois, born in
Switzerland
on
January 9, 1964, and bred by Mrs. Ursula V-Trueb. She was the first Borzoi to gain the
International title in
Finland. I was in my late teens, and since being involved in breeding any other
breed was inconceivable to me, I obtained a
Russian prefix to fit the Borzois.

My very first own dog was, however, a Finnish-bred Boxer dog, Anjukan
Lassi, bought in 1960.
A year later, I was already competing with
him in the Obedience ring.

In 1962, I went to
Sweden
on my Christmas holidays -- ostensibly to brush up
my language skills as I had studied Swedish during
the previous fall term at school, but the real
reason was an opportunity to work at a Swedish
kennel. During those teen years, I visited many
leading kennels in
Germany
and
Britain. On one of these trips in 1969, I bought a Smooth
Fox Terrier dog, Newmaidley Goliath (Ch.
Newmaidley Vodka – Newmaidley Kala).
