Ch. Bobander Secret Passion

"Pash"

b.8-12-00

Ch Bobander Secret Agent ex Glory Be at Bobander

Secret Passion became our latest bitch Champion at just 2 years and five months.  Pash spent much of her career being show alongside "Dylan" who  tended to steal the limelight. But her qualities  shone through and she won her crown. Dylan won the dog CC that day and between them they scored "the double" at Birmingham under breed specialist Marilyn Holgate

Ch Carregis Born To Perform At Bobander

"Dylan"

23-6-01

Carregis Bobby Dazzler ex Carregis I`m Scrumptious Too

Dylan was bought from Carol Bowman and her daughter Caroline after a very successful mating of her bitch to Ch Bobander What Ho Bertie .

I had always admired many things about the Kynismar ancestors that appear in her pedigree and here I feel we achieved a good combination of the two lines. The judges agreed with us and Dylan became the youngest Breed champion ever in the UK.. His first CC was at South Wales, and his second at East of England with Best Of Breed and Group 4.

He was only thirteen and half months when breed specialist Eilish Banks gave him his third Challenge Certificate again with best of Breed at Welsh Kennel Club. It took just 6 weeks!

Dylan has since become a most successful stud dog...producing our own Ch Bobander What a Performance.

Ch Bobander Magic In The Air ex Calypso Crazy at Bobander

 Secret started her show career really well winning her first RCC in junior at Crufts under Marita Rodgers and a first CC shortly after. She was like her brother in breaking new ground for the Bichon Frise in Britain by being the first finalist in the new and very prestigious PET PLAN junior stakes at Bath Ch show. Secret`s talents are not limited to the show ring, when mated to Ch Sulyka Happy Hurbert she produced some exciting puppies including "Dandy".

"Rosie"

2-02-93

Ch Bobander Magic In The Air ex Calypso Crazy at Bobander

Born a year after Bertie, Rosie had a super career with 4 CC's and 6 Reserves. Unfortunately this was cut short by illness so never had the opportunity to reproduce herself, However she was a delightful little character who contributed much just by being part of our family

Ch Rusmar Xmas Magic ex Bobander Indeed I Do

It didn`t take long for us as breeders to recognise the importance of selective line breeding and how essential good conformation and true Bichon temperament was if we were to establish a successful line. We were fortunate to acquire a dog and bitch from Myra Atkins ( Kynismar) Kynismar Sweet Talking Guy from Bobander and Kynismar Annie Get Y'r Gun for Bobander and they featured significantly in our plans. Our next generation, produced" Michael", Top Puppy in the breed for 91. He went on to quickly gain his title, and was well known for his exceptional conformation, outgoing nature and for being true to breed type. His subsequent value as a sire for us has been considerable.. When mated to Calypso Crazy at Bobander ( a Guy daughter who won I CC& 6 RCC`s) they produced three litters with a Champion in each, Cally became Top Brood Bitch two years running in `94 and `95.

Ch. Bobander Toot The Flute

Pedigree

"Toots"

27-05-85

Ch & Ire Ch  Sulyka Snoopy ex  Shamaney Manhattan of Bobander

Toots was "our first" and the result of an early mating that we were keen to do between our Shamaney Manhattan of Bobander ( sired by Ch Leijazulip Kipling of Shamaney ) and Ch Sulyka Snoopy.( Sired by Ch Leijazulip Jazz of Zudiki ..."Kipling`s" brother)

All did not go to plan and we were disappointed when our own dog Bobander The Muffin man mated her as well. We used the new and revolutionary DNA testing to prove the sire and Kennel Club history was made when Toots, newly crowned, had her registration altered ( she had previously been registered with two sires). This had never happened in the |UK before.

Toots was well recognised as having a particularly lovely head and quite a dynamic personality, especially in the ring where she was a real showgirl!.

She was well worth the trouble!
