The 1990s
Next one to become the mother was Onnenapila. For her Arja chose the young and promising Boxadan As You Like and in September 1991 was born the S-litter of two males and five bitches. Int Fin S N Est Ch FinW-93-95 AdvanceW-99 Neliapilan Superapila "Inka" won #1 Afghan of the Year twice and #1 Bitch four times. She's also Multi BIS & BOB & SBOS -winner with 11 CACIB's. Inka had one litter at Neliapilan though she was not owned by Arja. Int Ch PzSg-93 Neliapilan Satumaa "Anni" Arja kept herself, letting Inka shine in the show rings and Anni prove the value of the lines in the whelping box. This litter also included other three Champions even though one promising male did die way too young.
Onnenapila's second litter (the I-litter) was sired by her sister Onnentyttö's son Dog-Feelgood Himself. Four males and three bitches were born in 1993. Three of them became Champions but no-one was eventually used at stud.
The same year Arja finally succeeded in the breeding of Int Ch Neliapilan Tuli Ja Leimaus and Int Ch Neliapilan Hunajapupu - even though the result was only one puppy. Arja kept this bmg male by herself, and Neliapilan Elävä Legenda "Zippo" later became Int Nord Est Champion. So far Zippo has sired two litters, the Neliapilan L-litter and one litter at kennel Tuohi-Tikan. To date he has five Champion children and several grand children. Zippo's daughter Fin Est Ch Tuohi-Tikan Sorea "Siri" was also half owned by Neliapilan.

In 1994 Arja bred Neliapilan Hunajapupu again, this time to the famous Int Ch Scaramis Da Capo. The M-puppies of four males and two bitches turned out to be an all-Champion litter! Int Ch FinW-98 LvW-99 Neliapilan Mintunmaku "Pinni" was bred a couple of times but she never got any puppies.
IIn September 1995 Neliapilan Satumaa (who was by the way named as a tribute to her great-grandmother Satumaan Juulia) andNeliapilan Elävä Legenda were the parents of the L-litter of three males and four bitches. Int Fin S Est Lv Ch FinW-98 Neliapilan Lukkoseppä "Jerry" was one of the charming gentlemen of the show rings winning several BOB and BOS's with Group placements. Four of his siblings finished their Championships, too, with Int Fin S Est Ch Neliapilan Luonnonsilkki "Tosca" being the other International Champion in the litter. Arja tried to breed Tosca a couple of times, too, but unfortunately she didn't give them any puppies. Her brother Jerry has one litter at Neliapilan, though!
The A-litter was the combination of the top dogs of Finland with Int Ch Scaramis Da Capo as the sire and Int Ch Neliapilan Superapilathe dam. Although the breeding programmes are (of course) never based on the titles alone this seemed to be a perfect match - the two top Afghans of Finland - and they were right. One male and four bitches (all black & tan) were born in June 1996 growing up to perform another all-Champion litter! Int, Nord, Lv, Lt, Est Ch, FinW-01-02, BaltW-02 Neliapilan Asfalttiruusu "Julia" has had two litters (the T- and K-litters) for Neliapilan and she also managed to win #1 Afghan of the Year in 1999, #2 Bitch in 2000 and again #1 Bitch in 2002! Her sister Fin & GB Ch Neliapilan Aave Maria at Phelezzi, JW "Tahiti" was exported to England where she won BIS & SBIS, the Junior Warrant -title and qualification for Cruft's! Their sister Ch Neliapilan Apilankukka in her turn is the mother of the R-litter and 7 Champions so far.
Then it was time to add some new blood again and Arja decided to use the SBIS Am Ch Genesis Navajo Red "Danny" (the famous Am Ch Genesis Red Cloud son) to her own Neliapilan Satumaa. She had liked the Danny's children of kennel Scaramis and thought he would fit to her own lines, too. Three males and only one bitch were born in June 1997. The only bitch Neliapilan Nuttu Nurin "Sofianna" turned out to be a multi talented girl finishing the rare Triple Champion -title (Conformation, Lure Coursing & Racing) already before her third birthday! This litter also includes two International Champions; the Double SBIS & Multi BOB winner Int & Nord Ch, FinW-00 Neliapilan Navajon Musta "Walter" and Int, Fin, Est, Lv Ch, LvW-01 Neliapilan Naurunpaikka "Alvin". Sofianna is the dam of the U-litter producing both her beauty and fast feet, and Walter has sired two litters of which one was born at Neliapilan. The third male in this litter, Neliapilan Navajon Sulka "Carlos", is a Fin Ch, too, so this one is an all-Champion litter as well!
Being so satisfied with "Danny"'s (Ch Genesis Navajo Red) genes Arja decided to use his son Ch Scaramis Solid Gold to Satumaa in 1999. Unfortunately they only got one puppy - the clever and yet so classic bmg bitch Int Fin N Ch Neliapilan Yksinäinen Suzi. "Suzi" is the mother of two litters, the P- and J-litters, both sired by the English Ch Phelezzi Prometheus.
