AM. CH. Santera Linka’s Pixee - Pixee is Bangles' sister. She is a delight to show. She just seems to say "Let's go." She reminds me so much of her grandmother, AM. CH. Santera Miss Nes Ka, in the show ring. She also is an excellent moving female with a great little body on her. Pixee has been bred to AM. CH. Santera Tri Jed Di and is due to whelp in July 2005. It should be an interesting litter.

Santera Trikeeper of Tsand ROM - Keeper, is a very sweet girl who I bought for my husband after we lost our old Kee Lee. He very much missed having our tri Tibbie around the house. Keeper is certainly a great dog. She is a tri color female who seems to think she was trained for the circus. Anyone who has been to our house is always amazed at how she loves to walk on her back two legs. We have not shown Keeper often but we did breed her to AM. CH. Santera Link of Bangles and they produced some lovely puppies. Three of the pups were tri-colored, one parti-colored, one sable, and one solid. We kept the tri-colored male who we name Santera Tri Jed Di. What a lovely dog he is in both temperament and type. It is difficult for some judges to see this color of dog in the show ring. We then bred her to an import from Finland, CH. Ingefal’s Lilla LeJonet. From that litter we kept two males who easily finished their championship - CH. Santera Playing For Keeps and CH. Santera Keeper of the Light. Keeper also has qualified as a Top Producer with 3 champion sons.

AM. CH. Santera Playing For Keeps

Bev’s Le Fei Dom v BB

Bev’s Le Fei Dom v BB (pointed), our Kee Lee, was our first Tibetan Spaniel that we acquired. At the same time we acquired Kee Lee, the Jeffery’s acquired AM. ENG. CH. Kensing Rusk. When we decided to breed, we used Rusk on Kee Lee. The first litter produced only one pup which we decided to keep ourselves since we were so attached to her (AM. CH. Santera Ken Ra Lee). We repeated the litter and kept Santera Kes Sa Lee ROM from the second litter. We did breed Kee Lee several more times but let the puppies go to pet homes since we just did not have room for more dogs at the time. Kee Lee was a good producer and her pups had great personalities and have lived long lives as she did. She was a little over 15 years old when we lost her. She will always be part of our lives.

AM. CH. Santera Ken Ra Lee - Kena, was a beautiful female. She loved people and had a great attitude for showing. She was a lovely color with a great body and movement. Our daughter, Tracy, showed Kena to her championship. One of her wins was a 5 pt. major with a supported entry from the Tibetan Spaniel Club of America. We only bred Kena two times. The first time she was bred to CH. Phylmarko Shan Hu. She produced five puppies (1 female and 4 males). We kept one of her sons, AM. CH. Santera Ken Yuki, from that litter. The second time we bred her to a parti-color male that we had bought and she had 4 males. We kept AM. CH. Santera Ken Sham Ra from that litter. Kena had the most perfect personality. She accepted whatever came her way and was a loving companion. She died here at home right before her 16th birthday.

Santera Kes Sa Lee ROM (pointed) - Kessa, was Kena's younger sister. She was a little higher on leg that Kena and slower to develop. We did not get her out early to show so when we did, she decided that it was not her favorite thing to do. She did gather 9 points before we decided that we would not pursue her show career. We bred her 3 times only and every time to AM. CH. Santera Ken Yuki, her nephew. She had smaller litters that most of our Tibbies with only 2 in the first litter, 3 in the second, and 3 in the third. I would imagine that we could have finished all of the pups if we had kept them here to show. In the first litter we kept AM. CH. Santera Miss Nes Ka. Her litter sister went to a home where she was later bred and produced several champions. In the second litter we sold 2 boys to show homes that both finished. In the third litter, we kept AM. CH. Santera Yo Gee Nes Ka (Yogi). Kessa, like her dam and sister, lived a long healthy life. She died right after her 16th birthday.

AM. CH. Santera Ken Yuki

AM. CH. Santera Ken Yuki - Yuki, was first shown by my daughter, Tracy. My husband, Norb, ended up finishing him. He was only bred 4 times - 3 times to Kessa. One could definitely tell that his pups were related. He and Kessa produced 4 champions. The pups from his 4th litter were never shown, but could have also done well in the show ring. He retired to live with my daughter Tracy and her husband. Yuki died right before his 15th birthday. What a love he was....

AM. CH. Santera Miss Nes Ka

AM. CH. Santera Miss Nes Ka - Missy, was originally called Mischief as a baby but soon outgrew her nickname. One could not ask for a better pet. She loves all the other dogs, cats, kids, or whatever comes her way. Once when I had 15 setter pups in a litter, I let her supplement 3 of the really tiny babies for about a week. She just let us put them in with her pups, who were older and about the same size at the time, and took care of them. My daughter, Niki, finished Missy’s championship with some nice wins. Missy produced some lovely pups, 2 sons from CH. Jemari Jeb Stuart were shown and finished their championship. One of those boy, Tumbleweed, also was the first Tibbie in the world to get his Tracking title. With our daughters growing up we really did not keep many of Missy’s pups to show. We did repeat the litter with CH. Jemari Jeb Stuart and kept a female here, Santera Kircee, who was a little slower to develop like her granddam. We did gather 6 points on her before we bred her. We lost our dear sweet Missy at age 15. She continues in her granddaughter, Pixee, who looks so much like her.

AM. CH. Santera Sham Ra Lee

AM. CH. Santera Sham Ra Lee - Sham, was born about the same time as Missy. He was the second son of Kena that we kept. We used to send Niki to the ring with a dog crate and the two Tibbies (Missy & Sham). We often would have to be at the setter ring or the berner ring and would come to the Tibbie ring as soon as possible. Niki did a great job with the Tibbies. She won 5 pts. on Sham at the supported entry up at the Wine Country Shows with him. We used Sham for limited breeding and he did produce 2 champions, one our AM. CH. Santera Bo Dee, and a second to a family that had bred him to a Kee Lee / Phylmarko Shan-Hu daughter.

AM. CH. Santera Yo Gee Nes Ka - Yogi, was Missy’s little brother. He was in one of the last litters that we produced here while my youngest daughter, Niki, was still home. She decided that he had to stay here. He was quite a little showman and picked up his first major at his first show when he was 6 months old. He was only bred once and then he retired to my daughter Tracy’s home where he lived with his father, Yuki.

AM. CH. Santera Bo Dee - Bo Dee, was a male we kept from a daughter of Kee Lee and Shan-Hu. The owners wanted to breed her so we did the breeding and kept Bo Dee. We used Sham, a Kena son, as the sire. Bo Dee was a beautiful young boy and could have finished much earlier but we were showing Yogi at the time and then my youngest daughter went off to college. I really don’t get out too often to show my Tibbies myself. My girls used to do that. One day I had Bo Dee in the show and he took a major so I was determined that I was going to go ahead and finish him. He was the first Tibbie I had finished myself. I bred Bo Dee to Kircee. I should have kept one of his daughters but let her go to a home where I thought she would be shown. I then bred him to Ziggy, a little female I had obtained to hopefully breed him to. One of those puppies has just finished her championship. Bo Dee is now 11.5 years old and still really a sweet boy.

Santera Kircee ROM - Kircee, is a parti color female who has produced some nice pups for us. We kept two from her litter here that we hope to use to continue our bloodline (Bangles and Pixee). She was bred to CH. Krisala’s Connection to Flolin. Her son, AM. CH. Santera Link of Bangles, had no problem finishing his championship. Pixee, he sister, is quite a showman herself. We finished her championship in April of 2005. We bred Kircee one last time to Ch. Tibroke’s Nothin’ Left To Imagine. We co-own one of her daughters, Emma (AM. CH. Santera High Society), with our daughter-in-law, Mary Novocin. Since 3 of Kircee’s offspring have now finished, she has qualified for ROM from the Tibetan Spaniel Club of America as her grandmother, Kessa, did.

AM. CH. Santera Link Of Bangles - Bangles, is an excellent moving boy with nice bone and coat. He has a lovely disposition and loves to show. We have had a great time showing him . He finished his championship at 15 months. We hope to have a lot of fun with him!!!! He has several nice offspring from our Santera Trikeeper of Tsand ROM. His son, AM. CH. Santera Tri Jed Di, is one of our favorites. He is a beautiful tri with a fantastic attitude and personality.
