Yesterday we heard the sad news that Princess Lillian passed away at the grand old age of 97. Princess Lillian born  ( Davies ) in Swansea Wales ( UK ) in 1915. Met the Kings late uncle Prince Bertil in 1943 but at that time she was diborced ( Craig ) and the royal protocol did not allow  " common " divorced peopleto marry royalty ( same in UK then ) They quielty lived  togeter for over 20 years before they could married in 1976 when our King Karl Gustav 16th married Queen Silvia

I have a special affection for princess Lillian as it was she that awarded the BIS Tropy to myself & my Tibetan Terrier Multi Ch Tintavon Desdemona at the Swedish KC.s 90th anniversary in 1979.

We talked English ( of course ) and she was extremely friendly & plesant. On the right hand side of the photo you can see her late husband Prince Bertil ho came up and congratulated me and said " oh bay the way I am her Husband " and I  mamaged to say " I know Prince B ertil    Being a devoted Monarchist this mmory has benn tresured for 33 years

SvKTR Club Show

The surprise wins are always the best!
On Saturday we had the SvKTR club Ch show with 78 adult TT.s & 13 puppies which were moved to Cindy petterson´s (Apso & Mastiff judge) ring, our judge was Steven Green (kennel Varoney´s) UK. Steven has a real gift for writing long & interesting critiques and each critique was different and suited that dog, I was also impressed by the thorough way he went over the dogs (without messing up their coats) not like some judges who just put their hands lightly on the dogs head & back and thats it!!!!
T. Valdirio, Valdineia & Prethina all received a CK (Ch quality) & Amazonia first won a strong class of 14 Ch females and then won BOS, this is her critique:

Superb specimen in full bloom with charming expression full of Tibetan arrogance, lovely dark eye & very good dentition, strong but balanced front with lovely lay of shoulders, very good depth of chest & spring of ribs, strong angulated & muscled rear which showed when she moves, excellently presented & textured coat, covers the ground with total efficiency.

Thank you Steven, I think this critique is worth framing

Our beloved ”Blondie” Nordic Ch Tintavon Gail Force Wind has gone to ”doggy heaven”.

She had problems with her spine and balance this Winter and blood tests did not give us
any answers so we think she might have had a slight stroke but she was starting to recover
and again go out for walks with the other dogs when she developed a growth in her stomach
area and we decided not to put her through any operations as she was always a fit and very
special Whippet who would have hated to be kept at home and miss out on her walks!

As with most of our dogs now Blondie was shown only sparingly but probably her greatest
win was Best Puppy in Show at the Swedish Sighthound show at Skokloster in 2000.

Blondie had only one litter and produced 3 boys, 2 of which are Champions,
our SE & FIN Ch (group winner) Tintavon Espen Keyzerson
& Isa Johannesson’s SE Ch Tintavon Frode Keyzerson.

Zenio moves to Brazil

At last we have found a home for Zenio and it was worth the wait as he will go to a
 super home in Sao Paolo to Roberto & Marcos whom we wish the best of luck with this
character as "our house is empty" without him!

At the moment he is with his handlers Daniel & Silvia Beloff in Belo Horizonte to get used
to them first as he has a brilliant memory &  will be happy to se them when they start showing him!.

Zenio & Daniel in Paris where I flew with Zenio so he could meet Daniel and
 be less of a shock meeting new people without us being there but Zenio loved
Daniel straight away and was very happy walking the streets of Paris with him!

Newly bathed we decided to get some new photos of him, standing he is a dream but moving, well look at his page under Toscas puppies.

A lot of work and photos but we think this one really turned out good!

Congratulations Valdo!

T. Valdirio won BIS PUPPY at the Tibetan Terrier World Congress show in Norway

Under breed specialist Anne Cathrine Unelsröd, kennel Bondekonen, Norway.

WELL DONE Valdo & Gunilla.
 

Jerry won BIS puppy at SvKTR´s club show under breed specialist Mike Davis,
kennel Pinrow, UK.

Sister Amazonia was BOS Puppy

CONGRATULATIONS GUNILLA & VALDO

At the TTS club show T. Valdirio (Gunilla Albrigtsen) won BIS Puppy under judge Tanja Hakamo,
kennel Falamandus (FIN) and T. Amazonia (Tintavon) was BOS puppy.

Cristalino, Jerimias and Prethina all were awarded "honour prizes" but poor
Zenio was car sick and with a strange (thanks Pia B) handler did not enjoy himself so much!

See new photos of "numbers 1, 3,5,6,7, & 8 in their photo albums.

He has the most lovely temperament, funny, cuddly and very smart!

From being the "ugly duckling" he is turning into a "beautiful swan", angulations are improving,
now 3 spots around his eye rims and his eyes are getting darker all the time,
so could well be he makes the grade but most important is to find a loving home
for him otherwise Göran will keep him as it is favourite!

 40 YEARS JUBILEE

On the 21st March 1969 Pauls first Lhasa Apso was born, her name was
Nyima of Showa and bred by Irene Plumstead.

Tintavon was added on to the front of her name and Nyima became the first
foundation bitch, she was never a show winner as she had missing teeth and
not a big coat but she had the most wonderful character and the straightest front legs
you could wish for! Nyima was also the beloved pet of my parents when I left home
and lived to be over 16 years. Nyimas grandfather on her mother side was
the Tibetan import Zungeru Kin-Tup with of course an unknown pedigree and on
her fathers side as great grand father (also great, great, great grandfather on mothers side)
was the very first American Lhasa import to the UK,  Hamilton Dewatas who lived at
Hardacre kennels when I worked for Anne Mathews.
Special thanks and love to Irene for letting me have this precious little Apso.

HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL 2009

To our family, friends and all sincere dog lovers throughout the world.

These lovely and very fitting words were sent to us by the Working Dog Club
 of Split along with a DVD of the 4 summer night dog shows
which Torbjörn and I had the pleasure of judging at.

   AT LAST

We are doing some updates on our website!  
This summer and autumn have been just so hectic what with the World dog show and
the judges conference on the Tibetan breeds which we were two of the organisers
along with many judging engagements that we got way behind with news and
new photos but we promise to do better next year!

 EXCITING NEWS

We are expecting our first litter in four years!

TIBETAN TERRIER puppies are expected/hoped for around the 13^th January,

Tintavon Tosca has been mated to the beautiful and so correct

Finnish male  Ch. Falamandus Jára-Ki Khaki

whom I gave BOS from the youth class when I judged the Finnish T.T specialty in 2007.

Many thanks to Tanya for trusting us in letting us have “Finn” here for the matings

and to Gunilla who at short notice took the ferry to Helsinki to collect him.

We are expecting something exceptional from this combination!

More photos and pedigrees can be seen in Tosca’s file.

James and Shelley on the birth of your second son Oliver James Cainey

Another new Swindon Town fan and only 9 to go for James and Mikes own team!

Our dear brave friend Lena Soloviev from Moscow passed away to-day after a short battle against cancer. Every time Torbjörn and I visited Moscow to judge at Stolitza KC show we were always met by her smiling face and loving heart. Lena was the "motor" behind the club that kept everything running so smoothly.  We miss Lena and future visits will not be the same without seeing her but we are sure she will be keeping an eye on things from "up there". Our prayers and thoughts go out to Vladimir and their son.

under Danish judge Gert Christensen.

to the judges who appreciated Ozzy´s type, style and temperament,
to the exhibitors for the congratulations and
not least to “our supporters club”

The most unexpected wins are often the most treasured and this one certainly
will be and it felt great that even after so many years in the breed and so
many illustrious wins that we can still get so much pleasure and happiness
from winning the cac right up to BIS 2!

Tintavon Tuvalu has gone to “doggy heaven”.

To-day we received the very sad news that Nahemja Dudley Dan has gone to “doggy heaven”.

I first saw Dudley when judging in Melbourne where he won the breed and group under me and later went on to win BIS under Philip Kersey, (NZ). 

I immediately fell in love with this very special Lhasa and thanks to the kindness and generosity of Jim Grundig who agreed to let us borrow Dudley for what turned out to be a very successful one and a half years.  Dudley came to us with Aust. Ch BISS BIS titles and went back with INT, Nordic Ch WW-98 BIS, BISS.  

At his very first show he won the Group and BIS2, at his BISS win he was handled by Göran, I handled him when he won BIS at Borås in 1997 and it was Torbjörn that Handled Dudley to BOB at the 1998 Helsinki World show under Christofer Habig (D) much to the joy of Jim and Steve who had come over to see the show.

Dudley was also Top Lhasa in Sweden in 1997. Not only did he leave his mark as a top show dog but also left some lovely offspring the most successful being our black bitch T Black Opal, herself a multi group winner and dam of  a BIS winner.

NEW CHAMPION

S & FIN Ch T Gail Force Wind wins cac & Res cacib in Trondheim to become Norwegian Ch which now makes her Nordisk Ch. This was Blondies first time in Norway so we are extremely pleased with this win as she is now over 7 years and the entry was 51 whippets for Edwina Thomas (AUS). Blondies son S Ch T Espen Keyzerson was 2^nd best male with res cacib.

Not a bad weekend with 3 new Norwegian Ch.s for the Tintavons! Well done Torbjörn and Anna.

CONGRATULATIONS

In Deepest Mourning and chock!

To-day we received the terrible news that Rossi had passed on to “doggy heaven”,

He died under anaesthetic while waiting to be operated on for prostate cancer.

Not only was he Mojca´s first real show dog but he was a wonderful ambassador for the breed and definitely the most titled Lhasa ever from Tintavon who made us so proud and gave us so much great publicity but it is for his sweet temperment that we will remember him most. Luckily we can enjoy the success of his son ex Tintavon Fiorentina, BIS, BISS Titling Al Capone alias Ozzie and his many winning grand and great grandchildren.

Int, Slovenian, Croatian. Slovakian, Hungarian, Austrian, Italian, Bosnia & Herzegovina and VDH (German) Ch. Slovenian & Croatian youth Ch. Austrian Bundesseiger ´99, East European winner 2000, Tel Aviv winner 2001, European winner 2001, reserve European winner 2003, multiple BIS & BISS winner in several countries + many times Top Lhasa in Slovenia! TINTAVON ROSSINI “Rossi”

He put kennel Titling on the map and kept the flag flying high for team Tintavon!

Thank you Rossi
 

SvKTR (Swedish club for Tibetan Breeds) had their AGM and Torbjörn is now
again the Chairman.
His ambition is to work for the good of all the Tibetan breeds and not like
some people who are only interested in their own club and could not care how
it goes for the other Tibetan breeds!.
