History
My interested
in tibbies started in 1979 when my parents bought me black and tan coloured
Tibetan Spaniel male puppy Black Diamond. This male was bought as a pet and
he was not showquality in any way. After two years, I bought another male
puppy, black and white Fin Ch of Zlazano Zilvio. During these years I
learned lot about tibbies and got new friends in shows. In 1983 I got
permission to buy my first bitch and I knew exactly that I wanted her from
kennel Sajasan, Mrs Salme Vestelin. At the end of that same year Int & Nord
Ch Sajasan Isadora moved to us and three years later I was lucky to get two
of her halfsisters Fin Ch Sajasan Odina and Int & Fin & S Ch Sajasan Odette.
These three bitches created the great foundation for my breeding, and nine
years later received I Finnish Kennel Club´s award for top quality breeding.
In my student years all my litters were taken care of my parents, who lived in Kuopio. I showed actively and the star of those days was my beautiful bitch Fin Ch Tashi-Gong Ava Gardner, who attracted specially specialists from Great-Britain.
When finished my studies, returned I back to Kuopio and settled to Kurkimäki. After few tibbie litters I met my becoming husband Pasi and soon we got married. A year later we founded our company and our first child was born. Because our young family and own business, my time for breeding and showing has been limited. Fortunately I have good, trusted friends, with who I have had possibility to continue my dear hobby. At the moment my breeding is depended on my co-own bitches, and based on carefully considered co-own litters with my friends.
At the end of the year 2002 particolour bitch Bio-Bios Icemaiden moved with us from Sweden and co-operation with Bio-Bios kennel started. Today we have four more Bio-Bio´s in our team: the top winning Fin & S Ch Bio-Bios Highlight for Tashi-Gong. her brother Int Ch Bio-Bios Hidden Dragon, Bio-Bios Gladiatress and Bio-Bios Top Dog. I was also more than lucky to catch a piece of history for my future breeding in 2006, namely Tuuling Chan Zayenne, who´s grandmother is Fin Ch Tashi-Gong Cayenne - one of the foundation bitches of kennel Tuuling.
Introduction
" We can do no great things - only small things with great love"
(mother Teresa)
Tashi-Gong kennel is located at Kurkimäki village, about 25 kms from the
city of Kuopio. I breed Tibetan Spaniels in the small scale at home and
therefore I have never had more than 6 dogs at the same time. It is very
important to me, that all my dogs live as familymembers and they are taken
care until the last day of their life. Due our small children and busy work,
we now have only four tibbies (Fin Ch Tashi-Gong Caroline, Bio-Bios
Icemaiden, Bio-Bio´s Highlight for Tashi-Gong and Tuuling Chan Zayenne) and my time is
still limited for
showing and breeding. We have litters only occationally and co-operation
with the owners of T-G tibbies and my friends in Finland and abroad is very
important to me. One of my big dreams came true on 2005, when little, black
toypoodle "Leija" (Toyway Heartbeat) found her way to us - she is top!
