Neliapilan is the prefix of Arja Kettunen and Maija Pakarinen. Arja has been breeding Afghan Hounds since 1975. The kennel was founded by Arja alone but later on Maija joined her - first as an 11-year-old kennel assistant. The Afghans of Neliapilan have at the moment two residences; at Arja's in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, and only 15 minutes drive from there at Maija & Harri's house in Vantaa. Through the years only a limited number of litters have been born with approximately one litter a year.
