In my nothing, you were everything, to me. (Trent Reznor)

Taisto wasn't easy dog, he was really aggressive towards other people and dogs. He was really high drive dog that had infinite appetite. He was naturally good in tracking. He had problems with his nerves and grips but we did do IP3 with him and FH2.

Unfortunately Taisto legs went in bad shape summer 09 and after long break and medication things look better, we quit training defence immediately because I wanted keep him as long as possible.

Taisto behaviour changed end of year signically for the worse and spite of pain medication things didn't look good. He wasn't himself happy and lively dog that he used to be and he showed signs that his legs were hurting. Hardest thing I have done was to let go of him. He has been special dog for me, I have allways felt him so close. This dog left a huge hole in my heart, we had so much common features in our personality.
