I got my first Saluki in the end of 2000 and in 2001 I started to study the pedigrees. Living on finnish countryside I bred my first litter in spring 2008 under the prefix Non Serviam.

The interest for pedigrees I have always had. When I was a little girl I thought it was very exciting sitting and study our dogs' pedigrees and compare and look for relatives etc. When I got older and Internet became a little more easily accessible I could sit and look after relatives to our dogs and search for pedigrees a few generations back. 2001 I bought my first Norwegian Forest Cat, which became the start of my breeding, S*Sjöliden's. With this, the interest for pedigrees, line chasing, genetics and everything else around got even bigger, and it's just growing. After getting to know the dog breed Griffon, I have decided that I want such a dog, but still I wait for the "right one" to be born. Except for the interest for animals, I have a big interest in computers (software), and especially web design. And it is in Informatics I have my education and hopefully what I'm going to work with after I've been on maternity leave.
