LITTLE LEGENDS

 Little Legends

Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Australian Kelpie

 

 

Hello and welcome to our story!

I'm Jennifer Vindahl the founder of Little Legends - Staffordshire Bull Terriers and Australian Kelpies.

Our breeding and familyhome are located in the southern part of Sweden.

I'm an exhibitor, trainer and breeder of pedigree Staffordshire Bull Terriers and Australian Kelpies.

I have been involved with the dog showing scene for a few years now, but my heart is beating for obedience training, studying dogs in general and especially theese two amazing breeds.

I have been surrounding myself with dogs of various breed types my entire life. My first dog was a Samoyed male called Rickey, he was by my side for a total of 16years. Having Rickey made me realize that my life was always going to involve dogs. I have had Border collies, English bulldog, Mastiffs, and a couple of Rottweilers trough my 32 years with dogs, all of them with different personalities and I have loved every single one of them dearly.

When I got my 10^th dog, a pedigree Staffordshire Bull Terrier bitch in 2014, she stole my heart completely and I have been falling more and more in love with this breed ever since!  In 2020 we added a new breed to our household, the Australian Kelpie!

The purpose of adding a new breed was to take our passion for dog sports to the next level. Petite Legend Fleur de Calva, NYX, is an import from France and she´s out of Italian and Australian bloodlines. We look forward to the future with this amazing girl and have now added yet another Kelpie to our breeding program if all goes according to plan within the next few years. 

 

Our affix was granted in 2015 and our amount of dogs have grown from 1 dog to a hole bunch of these incredible breeds.

We breed mainly for our self, so we only breed occasionally in a small scale.

Our main goal is to breed typical, healthy, fit for function dogs with a good solid temperament, who will fit just as good in the show rings as in dog sports, and in the couch with a loving family.

If you are interessted in our breeding or have any questions, feel free to contact us.

Take a look around our website, and we hope you enjoy your visit.

Best regards

Jennifer Vindahl
