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 "Queen of the Druids". She is a goddess of fertility for both plants & humans, ruling over sexual activities & passion. She also rules protection, trees, protection of trees, knowledge, creativity. Archetypally she is an aspect of the eternal mother as seen in the evergreen boughs.

 

What has been surprising about Tia is her speed and agility. At 25 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

She is a sweetie until playtime where she will quite happily take on one of the bigger girls. Her brothers run from her so she is definitely a little madam !

 

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. He loyal and loving nature is an asset to our pack.
