Welcome to all Tolian breeders!

I thought we could all join in on some kennel/breed updates in this thread!

Including:
- New High SOPs
- New Studs that are successful
- Show achievements
- Breeding/trait projects
- Etc

Feel free to contribute as often as you like!


Current Breeders:
Ariege
Kovert
Magic Acres
OakBay Kennels
Roymars
SageLark
WildWingSuz
Zavahier

My current High SOP is a 92.05%
Ariege – Piano Man
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13653057
He will be hitting the ring this week to start his show career I’m glad he was born a boy – hopefully he will do well with the ladies

I’ve been a little ‘show happy’ recently and have now got 3 GCH’s and 54 homebred CHs in this kennel. I will probably be starting to slow down on the number of dogs I’m putting through the ring – as I’m hoping to focus more on breeding in the new year. (Showing really hits the bank account hard lol!)

A while ago I had a massive project of bringing in 10.0’s in Head – which sadly I haven’t continued – so now I am breeding back to some old studs to bring this trait back again. (by the way – I have placed a few links to studs that are still usable in abandoned kennels in the breed forum if anyone is interested).

I’m currently focused on breeding Gait – so have now got some 10.4’s in Gait .... slowly slowly lol.

And that’s about all from me!

What has everyone else been up to?

Congrats on the new high SOP! Nothing that good in my kennel sadly. I am currently playing about with colour, breeding for solid colours. As the dogs are of lower quality I dont put them up for sale but if there is anyone interested in colour breeding just message me and I will happily get you started.

ETA I started going through new litters after posting on here to find a 92.05 girl!

Hello-I'm rejoining Showdog after a long long break and would like to start back with Anatolians. I'll be going to a standard account as soon as I get reset. I'll be looking for dogs to buy for showing and/or breeding. It might take me a while to get caught back up but I'm eager to do so!

Thanks and look forward to working with y'all!

Hello again...I will actually be working from this account rather than the CS Animalia account. Was happy to see that I still had a couple of Anatolians on the all time list from ages ago! They look a little different than I remember...

Thanks! Jodi

I just had a new high SOP pup born last night:

Ariege - The Kings Speech
www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13734315

92.30%

Very happy with him - looking forward to seeing him in the ring and as a stud

Congrats! He looks like a very nice boy-best of luck with him!

Ariege update

I thought I would give everyone an update on this kennel and its progress:

GCH CG Ariege – The Kings Speech is continuing to do well in the ring with 23 BOBs and 1 BIG – but his main place to shine has been in the breeding scene!

His offspring now includes 7 CHs and he has another 17 pups being sessioned or shown – which will make 24 CH offspring eventually! He only needs one more showable pup to be born to make him a Silver Sire Merit (once they all achieve their titles!) Very exciting!

Ariege has so far bred 68 CHs and 7 GCHs

I currently have 6 dogs showing and another 6 being sessioned in this kennel.

But my new exciting news is I had this little girl born yesterday:

Ariege – Edge of a Revolution

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13954089

SOP: 92.75% !!!

She has GCH CH Ariege – The Kings Speech on both sides of her pedigree and is the daughter of Ariege – The Kingsmen and CH Ariege – The Kings Army. I have high hopes for her!

Congrats-that's a beautiful pup!

Ariege Kennel Update:

GCH CH Ariege – The Kings Speech – only has another 15 days left of his Campaign in the ring – he will then be retired from showing. He will continue to service the ladies until he is no longer needed – which may very well be sooner rather than later since he already has so many nice sons born to him. Once he has finished breeding he will be retired to the couch

Currently he has:
11 Champions
8 Currently showing towards CH title
7 Being sessioned for the ring

Which will make 26 CH progeny once they have all been titled

In the ring:
Ariege – Edge of a Revolution (92.75%)
Ariege –In The Kings Shadow (92.20%)

Ariege – The Kings Quartet (92.45%)
Ariege – High Intensity (92.45%)
Ariege – The Kings Jester (92.20%)

Ariege – Curse of the Pharoahs (92.45%)
Ariege – London Calling (92.60%)
Ariege – Original Prankster (92.60%)
Ariege – Side Effects (92.50%)

I also have a lot of my dogs in various different Finishing Kennels - so if you see some 'Ariege' dogs being shown by different players - thats why We are very lucky in this game to have a lot of skilled Finishing Kennels - otherwise it would be a lot harder to title so many dogs - especially for the offspring of The Kings Speech. At the end of the day we only have so many sessions to go round :P

bump

We've got some newish folks-hope they will come on down and introduce themselves! <grin> I am really CS Riverflow, been a little checked out lately but hoping to have more time to spend in the next few weeks. Nice to see some new folks in the breed!

An update on the progress over in Northern Lightz kennel

This kennel has mostly been used to focus on 10.0 in Head, but I have also had a lot of success in working on our Gait trait as well


In the ring – working on their GCH titles:
GCH CH Aurora – Uncertain Future (92.45) is continuing to do well in the ring pulling lots of BOBs and continuing to earn points toward his already achieved GCH title. It’s sort of funny though because when I named him I wasn’t sure if I was going to bother showing him (hence his name lol) but I’m glad I spent the time and effort to test him out in the ring cuz it was certainly worth it It’s dogs like these that keep me interested in the game – because you never quite know what you’ll get with them

CH Aurora – It was a Friday Night (9.8 gait – 91.90%) has done very well and I’ve been delighted with him. He only needs 1 more point towards his GCH title. He has taken quite a few BOBs as well as a BISS



In the ring – working on their CH titles:

Aurora – More Than Words (92.35% with a 10.1 in GAIT)
Aurora – Queen of my Heart (92.50% with a 10.0 in GAIT)
Aurora – Bright Side of Life (92.45)
Aurora – Want You To Want Me (92.05% with a 10.2 in GAIT)



Being sessioned for the ring:

Aurora – The Oracle (92.20% with a 10.0 in GAIT)
Aurora – The Path to Greatness (92.95% with a 10.0 in GAIT)



Gait project:

I currently have:
4 x 10.2
2 x 9.8
2 x 9.9
1 x 10.1
3 x 10.0
(in GAIT)

I’m really happy with how my new Gait project is coming along

Quick update from Ariege:

I have officially gone show CRAZY! *sighs* I have got so many dogs that are worthy of being shown that it’s insane! I apologise in advance for the number of entries I will be having in shows in the next few weeks. I think I’ve exhausted myself already though – so once this large batch have gained their titles I might drop back a bit (a LOT!) on showing lol. I mainly have boys in the ring at the moment.

Wow its been yonks since anyone updated on here!

I've been having a pretty crappy run in the whelping box in this kennel lately, so my highest SOP is only a 93.45%.

The pups being born lately haven't been up to show standard so I only have 2 dogs currently showing which for me is CRAZY as I normally have anywhere from 10-15 dogs being sessioned/shown at any one time.

In this kennel I have at least 10 x dogs with an SOP of 93.00% and above.

Still working on my 10.0 Head project. Have also been spending some time raising some of our less important traits such as FQ, HQ, TNB, F etc. Which I spose is why my SOPs haven't been spectacularly high lately hahaa. Oh well - you win some, you lose some :P

I've managed to finish 20 GCHs in this kennel with 17 of them being finished this year. I've also bred 121 CHs with 67 of them being finished this year - so I'm quite happy with my show success this year A pretty solid effort! :P


How's everyone else doing?

Nothing too spectacular going on here.

I'm slowly raising my keepable sop, pretty soon nothing below 93 will be kept for girls, but since I have a high boy ratio, they have to be pretty spectacular to stick around.

Good luck on everyones projects
