you can read more about Tibama and our story:
Tibama
Kennel started with Aud's great love for dogs. Shortly after
her boyfriend also got the "disease" and they agreed to buy a dog immediately
after they'de finished their studies.
After
thorough investigation, and a positiv "heartattack" caused by a lovely
cavalier, Timmy got to be
our first puppy . This was in the year 1980. His enthusiasm and loving
character filled all our needs
in a dog. He was a nicely coulored tricolor.
After
a year with Timmy as our only dog, we got the urge for a cavalier with
totally different colors.
After some time we found a Black and Tan dog from Sweden (Bambi). He
was a lovely B/T with a nice
tan and an incredible speed and courage.
These
two followed us through thick and thin for about 10 years, and Timmy
raised ur oldest children
in dogcare. When these two started to get weaker, we wanted to secure
a new generation. The choice
this time was a great and big blenheim dog who kept us busy through
Timmy and Bambi's last fall. He
was always happy and jumpy and almost became an agilitychampion.
To
complete the circle of colors, we imported a little ruby dog from England
(Sorata Julius). After
that we both got "hooked" and the world of dogshows entered our lives.
He was Aud's heartbreaker
and always enjoyed going to dogshows, a thing Aud almost never had the
heart of denying him. At
home he was the chief of the dogs, and ruled together with his Queen
Jannicken (Rybergets Jewel
also out of Sorata's breeding), and these two quickly became the heart
and basis of our breeding.
We'll
never get a replacement for Julius. He was an epoke in the showring
and was a legend already
while he was alive. He became first Norwegian, so Swedish and then an
International Champion,
full of enthusiasm and always proudly wawing his tail, until the illness
put a stop to it all…
Julius
was a great intruduction to showlife and breeding. Because of him, our
hearts will always
choose a great ruby before any other colour. Even though the breeding
of rubys is small, and it's a
colour which is not the easiest to show up, we have taken the challenge
of bringing the wholecolours
in to the winningring. After thorough planning and very careful buyings
from the best kennels in
England, we are proud to be able to to say that we have succeded in
getting high and have bred a
lot of both ruby and B/T champions.
