'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.
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.
Here are some random photos from our family album.

Cruaghaire Druantia
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.
