About us

I am Aino and I welcome you to Andiano's poodles. I live with my spouse in Vantaa, where we enjoy nature and exercise daily in the nearby forests and fields with our poodles. We are happy to spend time also in dog shows, agility, traveling and other hobbies. These intelligent and affectionate dogs have completely won our hearts.

The foundation

I got involved in poodles originally in mid 2000s. Animal breeding, in all its complexity, has been a subject of my interest since the very beginning. I have been lucky to learn a great amount about poodle breed characteristics, trimming, showing and breeding from Karin Kratt (kennel Polosport) and later from Johanna Markola (kennel Voyeror’s). In 2021 I imported a poodle bitch from Olga Skorodumova, kennel Bly Ais, Russia. C.I.B. FI, DK, EE, LV, LT, BALT CH FI JCH TLNW-23 HAHV-24 Bly Ais Galatea has exceeded all wishes regarding temperament, health and appearance. "Julia" has brought us infinite amount of joy and she eventually also became the foundation of Andiano's line. In 2024 I imported another female from Poland. C.I.B.-J FI, EE, LV, LT, BALT JCH LTJW-25 TLNW-25 TLNJW-25 EKUJW-25 EKUW-25 EEW-25 EEJW-25 Aqua Luzjaa Perlana Gama, bred by Katarzyna Piatek, has also very much of what we appreciate in a poodle. I am a member of the Finnish Kennel Club, the Finnish Poodle Club and the Finnish Dog Breeder Club. I completed the Finnish Kennel Club’s breeder's course in 2022. Finally in 2024 a long-time dream came true, as I brought my first own Andiano’s litter into the world, sired by C.I.B. SE, DK, NO CH CPHW-23 Trudora’s Prince Blue Blood. 

Our breeding

We have small-scale breeding of apricot and black miniature poodles. First and foremost the dogs share our everyday life as beloved family members. I aim for healthy, sound and conformationally correct dogs. As the breed standard states, a true poodle is joyful character, constantly alert and active, giving an impression of elegance. Regarding structure, a poodle should be harmoniously built dog of medium proportions and light movement. I also try to take into account the breed’s health and vitality holistically. Ultimately, the most important aspect to me is the poodle’s cheery temperament and affection towards people.This journey with poodles has brought beautiful memories and meaningful connections – and I hope for the same in the years to come.
