How many of us remember telling our children about the
horrible winters when we were their age - temperatures of
-20 degrees, many feet of snow on the ground and how
tough it was? The way this winter is going, our kids will tell
their kids the same thing.

The Story behind the Tibbies on Animal Planet’s “Too Cute”
by Harold B. Hartman II, Namtrah Tibetan Spaniels
Four Tibbie puppies—John, Paul, George and Ringo—get their “15 minutes of fame”
on Animal Planet’s cutest show!
An Email and a Phone Call
It all started with what looked
like a form email that began with:
“Hi Harold and Mary! My name is
Quinn Fegan and I’m a casting director
at Animal Planet/True
Entertainment. I wanted to
reach out to you as we’re
gearing up for our next
season of Too Cute and
we’d love to feature Tibetan
Spaniels.”
I am sure that other
Tibbie breeders received
the same email.
I thought at first it was
junk mail, but recognized
the phone number as a
New York City number and
called it. A woman on the
phone said Animal Planet
was looking for litters born
between March and June.
Our Coco had just given birth to
four boys on March 9. When she
asked me if I knew of a litter that
might be available, I told her I was
looking at four boys that were just
a week and a half old.
To my surprise, she asked if a
film crew could come over on
Saturday to do the first shoot. This
was Thursday evening—talk about
moving quickly!
To get the final approval from
Animal Planet she said I needed to
send her pictures of the puppies, of
their mom Coco and dad, Weasley,
the room they lived in, the outside
of the house and the dog run.
I sent the photos to her and
waited to hear back. By late Friday
evening we got the word that they
would arrive around noon on
Saturday with their camera crew.
Photo Shoots
It ended up being a total of six
shoots over five different visits from
March 23 to June 9. They shot the
puppies at barely 2 weeks, 4 weeks,
8 weeks, 10 weeks and finally at 13
weeks for the “adoption day” shoot.
The last shoot was also the ‘super
slow motion’ filming.
In total they must have shot
about 12 hours of video. All of this
was somehow going to be cut down
to just a 16–18-minute segment of
the Too Cute TV show.
For that first surprise visit they
said they would be at the house for
four hours. I could not imagine what
they would be filming for four hours
since the squirming babies were so
young—their eyes were just opening
and they weren’t exactly active.
Fur Bunnies & Toenails
Around noon on Saturday, in
came four people with lights, camera
and the sound boom. We learned
right away that the floor had to be
absolutely spotless and dust free—
as all of us Tibbie owners know, that
was a huge challenge.
They explained the camera was
high definition and picks up everything. Good thing the floor had been
mopped just hours prior to the crew’s
arrival—still, the producer was on
her hands and knees checking for
fur bunnies!
With puppies just two weeks old,
the first shoot was about nursing
and sleeping, with a little squirming.
Mary had to trim puppy toenails
because they were getting caught in
the blanket the producer, Michelle,
brought for the filming. They even
shot the nail trimming and it ended
up as the introduction to the four
Tibbie boys: John, Paul George and
Ringo.
Tibbie Zoomies...
On the second shoot at 4 weeks
old, the puppies were up
and about and starting to
show their personalities.
The crew got some great
“Tibbie chase” footage, and
the boys played hide and
seek under the bachelor’s
chest.
Mary and I were sure
some of that video would
make the final cut—but it
didn’t, because of what
happened on the fourth
shoot.
What did make the cut
was when daddy Weasley
was introduced and Coco
barked to warn him off.
From this shoot onward, we
could see that Michelle’s favorite was
the little red boy, Ringo.
First Steps...Steps...Steps...Steps...
The third shoot at 8 weeks was
both inside and outside. Now that
the boys had their first shot we
allowed them to venture outside
onto the deck. Weasley also got his
chance to play with the puppies as
Coco apparently thought it was now
okay for the boys to interact with
their dad.
We were asked to “save” certain
events so that they could be shot for
the first time with the Too Cute
cameras. One of those events was
their first steps outside onto the
back deck.
Over and over again, the four
pups were placed back inside so
that the camera could capture their
“first steps” outside—following Coco,
following Weasley, and all by
themselves.

up from his position and zoomed
in on the big 4-foot-long black
snake crossing the lane in front
of the Tibbies. Michelle was
shouting directions from a safe
distance of at least 20 feet away.
To this day I do not know
how Mary summoned the
courage to remain calm in the
face of the dreaded Big Black
SNAKE!

frantically tried to find a boy who
resembled Marcus to pretend he
was the new owner. She also tried
to “fake it” by taking some photos
of George with friends of ours from
church. However, in the end, the
writers decided to use a photo of
Ringo in bed with Lucas—and just
call him George!
All in all it was an interesting
adventure. The grandkids loved
seeing themselves on TV. Lucas is
very proud that his boy Ringo was
the star of the show. All four boys
are now in their forever homes.
Hopefully those who watched
the show got a better understanding
of the breed we all love. After all,
Tibbie puppies ARE Too Cute!
Ringo became producer Michelle’s
favorite—and the ‘star’ of the show—
early on. Here he eagerly tries to get
“up close and personal” with a snake.
Act Naturally
They’re gonna put us on the TV,
They’re gonna make a big star out of me
We’ll make a film about four Tibbie cuties
And all we gotta do is, act naturally…
Well, I’ll bet you we’re gonna be big stars
Might win an Emmy, you can never tell
The TV show’s gonna make us
into big stars
’Cuz we can play the part so well…
Well, I hope you’ll come and see us
on the TV
Then I know that you will plainly see
The cutest boys that ever hit the big time
And all we gotta do is, act naturally…

Dear Parent Club OFA/CHIC Liaison,
In November 2012 the OFA implemented its new eye certification registry. The new registry was implemented at the request of the American
College of Veterinary Ophthalmology (ACVO) and is the ACVO's endorsed eye registry. One of the ACVO's primary goals of the transition from
CERF to the OFA was the timely production and dissemination of statistical data regarding ocular disease and prevalence in purebred dogs.
Under CERF, the last edition of the "Blue Book" - the publication summarizing eye examination results - was the Fifth Edition released in 2010
with data through 2009.
In addition to the regular processing of eye clearances, the OFA has assumed responsibility for the maintenance of the ACVO's statistics and the
production of the Blue Book. Working closely with the Genetics Committee of the ACVO, the OFA is pleased to have completed the Sixth Edition
- 2013 Ocular Disorders Assumed to be Inherited in Purebred Dogs, with data compiled through 2012. The OFA is committed to producing
annual updates, and to providing this information back to the parent clubs at no charge.
A full copy of the publication is available on request. As your parent club's OFA/CHIC Liaison, you are being provided with the publication's
pages specific to your breed. While the publication in its entirety is copyrighted by the ACVO, please feel free to share the attached statistics
with your health committee and with your club.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Eddie Dziuk

Descriptions and Comments
A.
Entropion
A conformational defect resulting in an "in rolling" of one or more of the eyelids which may
cause ocular irritation. It is likely that entropion is influenced by several genes (polygenic),
defining the skin and other structures which make up the eyelids, the amount and weight of
the skin covering the head and face, the orbital contents, and the conformation of the skull.
B.
Distichiasis
Eyelashes abnormally located on the eyelid margin which may cause ocular irritation.
Distichiasis may occur at any time. It is difficult to make a strong recommendation with
regards to breeding dogs with this entity. The hereditary basis has not been established
although it seems probable due to the high incidence in some breeds. Reducing the
incidence is a logical goal. When diagnosed, distichiasis should be recorded and breeding
discretion is advised.

C.
Chronic superficial keratitis / Pannus
A bilateral disease of the cornea which usually starts as a grayish haze to the ventral or
ventrolateral cornea, followed by the formation of a vascularized subepithelial growth
that begins to spread toward the central cornea; pigmentation follows the
vascularization. If severe, vision impairment occurs. Pannus may be associated with
plasma cell infiltration of the nictitans.
D.
Persistent pupillary membranes (PPM)
Persistent blood vessel remnants in the anterior chamber of the eye which fail to regress
normally in the neonatal period. These strands may bridge from iris to iris, iris to cornea,
iris to lens, or from sheets of tissue in the anterior chamber. The last three forms pose the
greatest threat to vision and when severe, vision impairment or blindness may occur.
E.
Cataract
A partial or complete opacity of the lens and/or its capsule. In cases where cataracts are
complete and affect both eyes, blindness results. The prudent approach is to assume
cataracts to be hereditary except in cases known to be associated with trauma, other
causes of ocular inflammation, specific metabolic diseases, persistent pupillary membrane,
persistent hyaloid or nutritional deficiencies. Cataracts may involve the lens completely
(diffuse) or in a localized region.
F.
Retinal atrophy - generalized
A degenerative disease of the retinal visual cells which progresses to blindness. This
abnormality, also known as progressive retinal atrophy or PRA, may be detected by
electroretinogram (not part of a routine eye screening examination) before it is apparent
clinically. Except for X-linked PRA in the Siberian Husky, in all breeds studied to date, PRA
is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.
G.
Ceroid Lipofuscinosis
An inherited disease of man and animal characterized by the accumulation of lipopigment in
various tissues of the body including the eye. It results in progressive neurologic disease
including blindness. (Also called Batten’s disease).

By Carol Srnka
The AKC/CHF/Purina Sponsored Parent Club Health
Conference was held last August in St. Louis, MO. As
usual there were a host of very highly acclaimed speakers on a myriad of very intriguing topics!
I was particularly interested in the first speaker, as I had
received some questions from Tibbie breeders about
epilepsy in the breed.
So, first up was Dr. William Thomas DVM, MS, DACVIM
(Neurology) from the University of Tennessee on
“Canine Epilepsy, Where We Are and Where We Are
Going.” He explained that “seizures” are events,
“epilepsy” is a disease characterized by recurring
seizures. It is possible to have seizures that are not
epilepsy.
There are two main types of epilepsy: 1. Structural/
metabolic - which are caused by lesions on the brain or
neurological disorders and 2. Idiopathic or genetic of
which there are dozens of different types.
In idiopathic epilepsy the dog appears perfectly normal
between seizures. There are no underlying lesions or
other disease processes. Often the first seizure activity
is age related - starting between ages 1 - 5 years old. It
is presumed to be genetic. These dogs usually have the
typical generalized Tonic/Clonic type of seizure. The
Tonic phase being the abnormal/involuntary twitching/
possible loss of bladder and or bowel, etc. The Clonic
phase being the period immediately following the Tonic
phase where the dog is no longer frenetic, but seems
spent. This is usually followed by a period of disorientation.
Researchers are continuing to investigate the genetic
factors of the disease. Breakthroughs in this area would
hopefully lead to a better understanding of the disease,
how individual dogs with the disease could be better
managed, as well as recommendations as to breeding
of affected and related dogs and could eventually lead
to a definitive diagnostic test.
“Currently there is no test to confirm idiopathic epilepsy and the diagnosis is based on clinical features and
exclusion of other causes of seizures. There is no cure
and treatment most commonly entails daily administration of phenobarbital or bromide.” These treatments
have mixed results. Researchers are also continuing to
work on other types of drugs, both human and some
specifically designed for dogs, as well as additional options to drug treatment.
Little Known Facts About Carol Srnka...
I have always had a dog for as long as I can remember but got my first “purebred” dog when I was 13,
a Miniature Poodle.
My husband, Chuck, and I started raising dogs in
1969. We first had English Setters and then Gordons, for hunt and show, under the “High Brass”
kennel name.
In 1982, I decided that I wanted a small, low maintenance breed (read that, a dog that did not require a lot of grooming for the show ring!!) I
looked at Tibbies, Cavaliers and Schips. Tibbies and
Cavaliers were not yet AKC recognized so I got my
first Schip who lived to be almost 17 years old!
Hence began the “Belgae” prefix, for my little
black barge dogs from Belgium.
In 1990 I got my first Tibetan Spaniel, a little red
and white parti bitch. Her name was Margee’s
Amni Machen O’Belgae (MaiTai). MaiTai produced
two champion daughters who went on to produce
two generations of agility titled Tibbies.
MaiTai was a very special little dog, with some
very human-like characteristics. She was very
young when she was diagnosed with a severe pure
red cell Aplastic Anemia, she was gone in 6 weeks.
So began my extreme interest in Tibbie Health.

testing to determine the activity and severity of the disease
within the dog, as well as general blood work to assess for
any other disease processes. Many owners may find out that
their dog has become infected with Lyme disease at a routine appointment as many frequently used heartworm tests
also include testing for tick borne diseases. If this is the case
and the dog is not showing any clinical signs of illness, it will
be up to you and your veterinarian if you choose to pursue
additional testing and treatment or take a “wait and see”
approach.
Basics of Lyme Disease
Angelic Vetter, DVM
Almost everyone knows something about Lyme disease, but
often what you think you know may be only the beginning.
Hopefully, this brief article will help to provide some basic
information about the canine Lyme disease infections.
Transmission and Prevalence
Treatment
Lyme disease is a spirochete bacteria scientifically known as
Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted by the deer tick,
Ixodes scapularis. The deer tick has an extended life cycle,
about two years long. An egg develops from a nymph to
larva and then adult. The nymph, larva, and adult each require a different host and at each of these stages the tick can
become infected or transmit the disease while feeding.
Lyme disease has been diagnosed in all states; however
certain areas have a much higher rate of infection. Although
most people associate Lyme disease with the New England
states, other areas such as the northern coast of California
are considered a moderate risk area.
The Lyme spirochete is very good at evading both the immune system and antibiotic therapies. It is able to “hide” in
different body tissues and change its configuration so that it
cannot be detected. Therapy is aimed at reaching a latent
state where the organism is not causing any illness or discomfort to the dog. In the past, the treatment for Lyme
disease was a 28 day course of doxycycline. This antibiotic is
effective and reasonably inexpensive. However, due to its
decreasing use in human medicine, doxycycline has become
difficult to obtain. Another antibiotic known as Minocycline
is equally effective although generally more expensive. The
cost will vary greatly based on the size of the infected dog
Symptoms of Lyme Disease in Dogs
Prevention
Most people associate Lyme infection with a characteristic
“bulls eye” rash. However, this is uncommonly seen in dogs
due to their dense hair coat. Many dogs that contract Lyme
disease are taken to the veterinarian for intermittent shifting
leg lameness. The dog may seem to limp on one leg, get
better, but then begin limping on another leg. Often times
on a physical exam the dog may have swollen joints and a
fever. Dogs may be infected for several months and possibly
over a year before they show clinical signs. In fact, it is
estimated that over 90% of dogs that become infected will
never become sick as their immune system will be able to
limit the infection. In rare cases while trying to eliminate the
infection, the dog’s immune system will deposit immune
complexes in the kidney and cause severe and irreversible
kidney damage that is often fatal.
It is very important to note that in order to transmit Lyme
disease, as well as many other tick borne diseases, the infected tick must be attached and feeding on the host for a
minimum of 48 hours. This means that utilizing an effective
tick control product and monitoring your dog for ticks is the
most effective means of disease prevention.
There are many different vaccines available to protect
against Lyme disease. There are arguments both for and
against vaccination which are outside the scope of this article. This is a discussion best had with your veterinarian as
they will understand the prevalence of the disease within
your area.

Diagnosis
Many times the first test that a veterinarian will do if they
are suspicious of Lyme disease is an in-house test that tests
for several tick diseases, as many have similar clinical symptoms. This test will be positive if the dog has antibodies for
the Lyme spirochete, meaning that the dog has been infected and the body’s immune system has developed a response. It is important to note that due to vaccine
modifications a vaccinated dog will NOT test positive if it has
not been naturally infected. When a dog has a positive test
result, most veterinarians will want to do more extensive

The Name Game “
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet.
~William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
I had my first litter of Tibbies and could
not think of a kennel name. I had Norwegian Elkhounds originally and bred
two litters of them. Thinking I was going
to stay in the Elkhounds, I didn't want a Tibetan name for my
prefix. Driving back from a match with Freeda Manley, who
showed Tibbies with me, we passed through Amherst county, which had a shopping center called Ambriar, for Amherst
country and Sweet Briar College, which was close to where I
lived at that time. It hit me it could be used for my kennel
name, so I changed the A to an E and it became Ambrier
Tibetan Spaniels. My first litter was from TSCA Ch. Truk Ku
She May Mo, “Natasha” and the sire was Sherwood's Ku
Omar, "Ram". One of these puppies from this litter registration pictured below was Ambrier's Tiger Lily, who was sold to
Tom and Flo Whiting. She is behind so many Tibbies since she
was the American side of the foundation to Bims Tibetan
Spaniels. -Mallory Cosby Driskill
My kennel name, Butternut Hill, is
the name of the hill that I lived on in
my childhood in Upstate N.Y. It was
and unbelievably remains , an idyllic
place. I kept two pups from my first litter. My favorite is
Butternut Hill Tim the Enchanter, CGC THD (pictured).
-Colleen Faini
I chose my kennel name from a
poem by Ernest
Christopher
Dowson titled “Cynara,” written in
the 1800’s. It is most noted for the
line “gone with the wind,” where
Margaret Mitchell found the title for her famous book. I
started using the prefix with my Collies and contiuned using it
with my Tibbies. My first bred-by Tibbie was Ch. Cynara High
Time, “Austin” (pictured). His dam is Ch. Santera High Society,
which I co-owned with Sandy Novocin, and his sire is Ch.
Santera Tri Jed Di. -Mary Novocin
”
Dreamcast was
chosen because
our son, Mike,
had a horse
named Dreamer. His first show dog was
Tresaith's Dollymixture Dream. When
his first showdog also had Dream in her
name, it seemed logical to take that as a
theme. Dolly's sire was Woodhenge Dreamcaster, so from that we
took Dreamcast. Our first Tibbie to have our prefix is GCH Dreamcast Soul Survivor (pictured). -Janet Habiger
Flolin is a combination
of our first names Floyd and Linda. My
first Tibbie that had
Flolin registered was my group placing
Ch. Flolin's Xiao Siang Thai (pictured),
whelped August 16, 1981 out of Am/
Bda/Can Ch. Fairstar Cho-Sun X
Ch.Phylmarko Par-Ti-Fait Flolin owned by Linda Foiles & Jo Downing. -Linda Foiles
In the 1970's John and I were showing
Samoyeds & a few years later we added PW
Corgis. In 1984, when Samantha was seven years old she asked for
a dog of her own that she could show. She did a good job of
handling the Corgis but was just too small to pick those 25 pounds
Corgis up and put them on the table so someone always had to be
standing ringside to put the Corgi on the table for her to stack &
the judges always put the Corgi down on the floor for her.
So.... about a year later we brought home out first Tibetan Spaniel
from Dick & Carol Jeffery, Jemari's Emperor. Sam showed Empi to
his championship & then we got a bitch from the Jeffery's. That
was the beginning of the Hysam Tibbies.
We had a different kennel name for the Sammies & Corgis but
Samantha wanted her own name. It was a very simple decision.
Whenever Sam would show up ringside the other exhibitors would always
greet her with “Hi, Sam!” So, a simple
change of the spelling and we had a
custom, short, five letter kennel name
just for her. By early 1990 Samantha
was the youngest breeder, owner,
handler of champion Tibbies in the U.S.
Sam's grown now and living in Baltimore in her own home with her two cats.
So, in 1984 what started out as just one Tibbie for a little girl,
turned into a love for the breed, and almost 30 years later we still
have Tibbies. The perfect breed that in the beginning we knew
very little about. -Susan, & John, & Samantha Mullins
The
Iceywinds
Kennel name came from being involved with both Bernese Mountain Dogs and
Tibetan Spaniels, which were
dogs who had a cold weather
connection, thus the “icey”
part of the name. The "winds" part of the name comes from
my nickname "Wendy" which was part of my middle name of
Winslow. So, I put the two together to form “Iceywinds.” My
first Tibbie to carry my kennel name was AKC Ch. Iceywinds
Jen Kum Ra V Bev’s (pictured) back in 1985. His sire was Tashi
Ali Kum Ra and his dam was Phylmarko Autumn Joy Of Briel.
He was bred by Beverly Burney of Bev's Kennel. -Sarah Baker
Our first Tibbie was Ian his registered name
is Ambrier's Radiant Scion of Zeke. We went
off the idea of scion, a sun or star. Both of
our middle names are Rae and both our fathers were name Ray. Ketu means
shooting star in Tibetan. So the
kennel name became Keturay;
rays of a shooting star. Pictured is
Keturay’s I’ve Got A Right (Susan
B) from our first litter.
-Shelly Potter & Shannon O’Neal
When I purchased my first Tibbie, I
wanted a different kennel name. I started
thinking of combining forms of my name
with my husband's. The first one I
thought of was Flolin which was Floyd and Linda. But I'm glad I did
not decide on that since Linda Foiles was already using it for the
same combination of names! Then
I came up with Lin Chi which is the first
three letters of Linda and my husband's
nickname Chip. The picture is my first
boy as a puppy...Sir Adams Porthos of
Lin Chi -Linda Hendrix
I was watching an episode of CSI:NY. The guy
who lived next door to the "victim" was a
Mandala artist. So it came out as the story
progressed that Mandalas were Tibetan art. Each piece beautiful, individual and unique. Just like Tibbies. and BOOM!
I thought, that's my kennel name. - Moira Sullivan

We first heard about Tibetan Spaniels
in 1997 when, at a family reunion, our
sister-in-law, Melanie Hartman, began talking about searching for a Tibbie. At that time, I thought
it sounded like an interesting breed. It wasn’t until we met
Bingo, Melanie’s first Tibbie, that we fell in love. We began
searching for our own Tibetan Spaniel. Melanie intended to
show Bingo in conformation, and being active in dog shows was
on my bucket list. It was the perfect time to start this adventure.
Our three children were older and
we both had the time to become
involved. We purchased our first
Tibbie from Mallory Driskill,
Ambrier’s Force Is With Yoda.
Yoda was not destined for the
show ring. Even though we would
not have traded Yoda for the
world, I was still looking for a
show dog and the ability to join
Melanie in the show ring. Melanie
and I went to Wine Country Circuit shows in September, 1998. I
came home with Owen (Dragonhold Party of Five), and Melanie
came home with two girls from Cheryl Kelly. That was the beginning of Melmar. Melmar was the combination of Melanie and
Mary. The first Melmar champion that we bred was Ch. Melmar
Harry Potter (pictured above). He was out of Owen and Jewel
(Lorac Ambrier Crown Jewel).
There were a total thirteen Melmar champions over the next
several years. As time went on, Melanie’s two young daughters
were growing and it became more difficult for Melanie to continue showing the dogs. In 2002, Harold and I decided to go on
our own and start fresh with our own prefix. There were several
names that we were tossing back and forth. We wanted something short and easy to remember. One evening we were discussing a new kennel name while cooking dinner. Our son was
there listening as Harold and I went back and forth with names
we had been considering. Dave looked at us and said “What
about Namtrah?” We said “NAMTRAH?” He said “Yeah, that is
HARTMAN spelled backwards.” It was an a-hah moment. Thus
the prefix Namtrah was born. Our first Namtrah champion was,
Ch Namtrah Fenlea Rising Son. -Mary & Harold Hartman II
I originally chose my kennel name
“Sierra”when living in Sacramento and owning and showing Shelties. I wanted a short ,
alliterative name and since we had a nice
view of the Sierras it was pretty simple to choose. When I
bought my first Tibbie I had
planned to change it to
something different but my
husband told me I was already known by that name
so I decided to keep it. My
first Tibbie champion from
my first litter bred is Ch.
Sierra

(pictured). He was from a
litter of five , of which 4
finished--but he was the
first to finish - winning his
first points on his 6 month birthday and finishing the day
before he was one year old. Incidentally he was the only sable
in the litter--the rest were all parti colors. -Jacki Scarborough
Over 30 years ago, a couple owned
a large tract of land – between 150
-200 acres. They had this idea of
building a self-contained community with its own sewer and
water and eventually power. The area was known way back then
as Shangri-la. The neighborhood
was eventually built and that is
where I now live – only now it is
known as Somerset Lake in Landenberg, PA. So, when trying to
figure out what would be a good
name, it just made sense to use
the name for the area that I had
grown up. – Sharon Lucernoni
I grew up showing English Springer
Spaniels owned by my Aunt and
Uncle- Mary and Andy Carey. They
had used CAREY’S for their dogs so that was not an option for me
to use. When it was time for me to get my own dogs, coming up
with a name was fairly easy. We were living on the edge of the
Shenandoah Valley in a wooded area – hence, SHENANWOOD
came to bein 1972 when I got my first English Springer Spaniel.
Seven generations of English Springer Spaniels champions as well as several
champion Welsh Springer
Spaniels followed through
1993, when I got my first
Tibetan Spaniel. Bill and I
decided to continue with
the name for our Tibbies.
Our first homebred Tibbie
champion was Ch. Shenanwood Court Jester,ROMX.
“Ernie” was co-owned with and shown by our son, Will, at many
shows and easily completed his championship since “Ernie” was
really his dog. Almost 100 Shenanwood Tibbie champions have
followed in the past twenty years, with the newest group of
youngsters out now. -Colleen Bias Chaffee
“ ”
It all began on a beautiful July day in 1979, as
we set out to find a Basset Hound for Liana’s
father. Long story short, we came back with
Cairo for Dad and China Mae for us. It wasn’t long before China
Mae was a young lady and we decided to breed her and keep a
pup to show. The rest is history, we were hooked. We placed all
of China Mae’s puppies in pet homes except for our son’s
favorite. We named this young male “Matt’s Apple Jack.”
Matthew’s favorite cereal was Apple Jacks. The stud owner
told us we should have a kennel prefix if we were going to show
and breed. What a chore! We finally decided on Tamzil for our
kennel prefix. We wanted to include our children in our new
endeavor. Matthew was 11 and Elizabeth was 8 and at the time
they were enjoying our new hobby. So...we turned Matt and Liz
around and turned it into “TAMZIL”. Matthew, now has his own
Tibbie -The Beast- and Elizabeth has our two wonderful grandsons, Luke and Elijah.
Our first Tibetan Spaniels to use the Tamzil prefix was a litter
out of our Ch. Camas Tibs Hana Shobu and sired by Lily
Tamura’s Ch. Braeduke Garpon. They were Tamzil’s
NankiPoo, Tamzil’s ChenRe-Zi & Tamzil’s Honah Li. Greg & Liana Craven
It ain't what they call you, it's what
you answer to. -W.C. Field
Tamzil's Honah Li & Tamzil's
Nanki-Poo held by the Craven’s
daughter, Elizabeth.

I began in 1976 with Samoyeds and
chose Anadyr for it's geographical
location in the arctic circle.
Later I went into Cavalier King Charles
Spaniels and chose Crumpet
for the English tone.
Then about eight years ago I
went to the Tibetan Spaniels.
My first was a lovely red bitch
who spent her entire life up on
her “tippitoes,” even in the
ring, from beginning to championship she rarely had all four
feet on the floor. Hence,
“Tippitoes” became my kennel
name and her silhouette on
her tippitoes is prominently displayed on my business cards and
web sight. -Linda Lashley
The first Tibbie to have our kennel name was
Ch. Tzuzis Jive Talking of TuQute (pictured below). Karen Hand and I had both
been in other breeds, mainly Rottweilers and Akitas. Karen used the
name U-Nik and I used the prefix
Imarii for the Akitas. Karen got a
divorce and came to live with me
and John and we started looking for
a smaller breed. The first Tibbie we
saw at a show, we both said, at the
same time, “That is too cute!” We
changed the spelling and that was
that. - Pam Glave

The beginning of wisdom is to call
things by their right names.

I hope everyone has enjoyed reading about how
some of these prefixes came to be. If you were not
included this time and would be interested in participating in a “Part 2” please let me know. If I get
enough interest I’ll be happy to continue with another piece. You can reach me by email or phone,
which you will find on page 2 of this issue.

How did I arrive at my kennel name?
Our first dogs were Ambrier dogs and
when it came time to establish our kennel and
have a litter we thought
long and hard about what
we felt would best identify
ourselves and our litter. I
had spent over 20 years vacationing in Maine so I
thought Acadia would be
great, but seemed too close
to Ambrier. Then we
thought about doing a
combo of both our names –
nah, not great. Then I

Our donation will help provide animal care services during the
first critical hours following a disaster the time before FEMA
support and services are deployed. It will also put an end to
post-disaster tragedies which have historically affected pet
owners, such as: putting themselves in harm’s way to save a
beloved pet, or even losing a family pet during a disaster.
