Presentation
Annas engagement in the breed started in the late 80's when Anna met, fell in love with and finaly purchased the young female Antefa's Faouziah. Coming from a "doggy family" with GS, Cairn, Borzoi and OES' around her thoughts of breeding had always been there, not just feeling that special "it" for any breed yet. But with the PH it was love at first sight and Anna knew she was destined for the breed. In the early 90's Anna got her second PH, the rescue bitch Chasselli's Halil.
Tanja entered the established kennel in 2004. By then Tanja and Anna had been travelling a lot together campaigning Tanjas PH Ch Faouziah's Bastet to great successes and had already together enjoyed the very stimulating hobby of helping puppy buyers with practical as well as show training. And not to forget the rewarding handling of the breeders group at shows. As Tanja joined the kennel for real the Smooth Foxterrier where added, since this was Tanjas first breed at that point. Together we complement each other, even if we don't always agree. Tanja is the true show enthusiast, even if Anna is doing most of the handling, and also the one remembering all the facts and stats. Anna is more of a person where "gut instinct" plays a large part. She also really enjoys the upbringing of the pups and to do the dogs training. We have been blessed with quite a few fabulous puppy buyers who really enjoy the sport and love to show their dogs. To them and all the other families who provide their babies with loving active lives we are grateful. It is very rewarding for us to be a part of this magnificint breed and a joy indeed to have got to know all these fabulous PH fanciers, some of them has become our friends for life. Credit where credit's due
Shortly after Anna learned that one of her favourite bitches were to be mated as kennel Siphra's in Finland planned a breeding to a male in Holland. Anna immediately booked a female puppy and Siphra's Tell Me No Lies (Ch Imerat-Paroo Of The Netherlands x Ch Siphra's Mama Mia) where born in May 1998. It was soon evident that Vera was something out of the ordinary. She was Top Winning PH in both 1999 & 2000 and an outstanding achiever in the showrings. Besides all that Vera proved to be an extra ordinary brood bitch, a champion, groupwinners and BIS winning off spring producer. One of the dogs that has made the greatest impact for us is a daughter of Vera and grand daughter to Iris, namely Faouziah's Bastet, a k a Juno. This so lovely and outstanding bitch truly made her mark in the showrings, winning an all breed KC Puppy BIS as the first PH in Sweden to do so, winning an all breed KC BIS also as the first PH in Sweden to do so, becoming Runner-Up at the prestigeous Champion Of Champions gala also as the first PH in Sweden to do so and also still beeing the only PH to accomplish an spectacular Supreme BIS at the Swedish summer dog show cirquits. Juno holds many more wonderful KC and specials BIS wins, where we count her BIS at the Helsinki all breed KC Winter Show as one of her greatest, and she truly is somewhat of a breeders dream come true. Juno has also proven to carry on her bloodline as a great brood bitch. Her exclusive pups are still young but are showing some real potetials. These bitches has had an tremendous inpact on our successful breeding and of course the males we have had the possibility to use (Ch Antefa's Jabbah-Kaa, Ch Antefa's Minas Tirith, Ch Farao Anubis Ikaros, Ch Faouziah's Akunosh and Ch Siphra's King Of Hearts) has played an equally big part. And we are truly thankful over the breeders and stud owners willingness to share their very best with us! ![]() Last but never least we want to give a huge thank you to all our tremendous puppies buyers who care so well for their beloved dogs. You mean the world to us! Without you all, this would not be possible. |
