Cruaghaire Druantia

 

'Tia'

Breeder : Susan & Stuart Cuthbert

 

BVA Hip Score :  9 (17/11/09)

BVA Elbow Score : 0

 

 

She is a gorgeous, top sized, black and red long coat, a lovely gently sloping shepherd topline and a lovely rich pigmentation and a strong head like her mother but a gentle expression and disposition like her father. She also has a lovely thick, plush coat which she got from her father. Makes her very cuddly !

 

Tia is our first generation of Cruaghaire. Her name 'Druantia' comes from Pagan mythology. She is known as the "Queen of the Druids". I have to say she is aptly named !

 

 

What has been surprising about Tia is her speed and agility. At 26 inches at the withers she is oversized for a bitch but she keeps up with working collies half her size and weight at top gait. It is impressive to watch and she does it all so effortlessly. We are hoping to get her started on agility soon now she is fully matured. That should be interesting !

 

Sire : Dam :

Tia was sired by the stunning german import Zampano von der piste Trophe who is standing at stud in Scotland. His pictures do not do this boy justice. He is a lovely rich black and red with a stunning head and gentle expression. We fell in love with him the first time we laid eyes on him.

 

Hip Score : a1 normal

Haemo clear

Tias' dam is our very own Jades Wonder. Jade is quite a formidable girl and most definitely the matriarch of the canine pack. She has a beautiful, strong yet feminine head which is what drew us to her immediately and she passes this onto her progeny as you can see with Tia.

Hip score : 11

 

 

 

Tia loves nothing better than being outside exploring. She is our first puppy bred under the Cruaghaire affix and to say we are very proud of her is an understatement. She has inherited her fathers wonderful pigmentation although she is definitely a younger version of her mother.

 

She loves to romp in the garden and has taken quite a shine to our son Aidan who she follows around the house or the garden. Puddle jumping is another one of this pairs most popular past-times.

 

We are hoping to start pushing her forwards into obedience which is fine as long as she is on her own but the minute you add other dogs or kids she's off into her own little world and obedience goes out the window - She just loves to play !

 

Tia is maturing into a lovely young lady and we are so proud of her. Her loyal and loving nature is an asset to our pack.

 

Her first litter was to the stunning Heaven's first star of Arantius in 2010 and she proved to be an exceptional mother. From this we kept our Taylor. She has her own page now where you can find out how she is getting on.
