Hello, we are Judith, Glyn & Julie Davis, and we live in Warley, which is about five miles west of Birmingham, or, one hundred and ten miles north west of London. England. Our kennel club affix Wharlie, was derived from our home town name and pronounced in the same way (War-Lee).
Our interest in dogs began in the early 1980's, with Afghan hounds, but, it was not until 1992, that we were first introduced to the Tibetan terrier.
The first Tibetan terrier to become part of our family was Cederaire Mister Wiggley (Elliott) born in May 1993 and bred by Mrs Martin, he was owned in partnership between our daughter Julie, and David Johnson of the Khados kennels, Elliott went on to win 1CC and 7 RCC's. Elliott has since been transferred to full Wharlie ownership. Cederaire Mister Wiggley is the sire of Ch. Khados Diamond Delbert, owned by Cheryl and David Johnson.
Our foundation bitch, Goosegog Prarie Rose with Wharlie (Rose) joined us in February 1995, she was born in December 1994, and was one of a litter of ten puppies. She is the mother to both of our litters. Rose won 1 RCC.
The first Wharlie puppies, were born in January 1997, their sire was Araki Black'N Tan Rebellion at Hardacre, owned by Mrs Ann Matthews of the Hardacre kennels. From this litter of four, we kept a gold sable female, Wharlie She's A Pain (Pagan). The highlight of Pagan's show career was winning the RCC at Crufts under Claire Coxall in 1999.
Wharlie Hugo Boss (Hugo) and Wharlie Just Nina (Nina), are the male and female dogs that we kept from our second litter, born in April 1998. The sire of this litter was Nimza Boston Ed Woodybehr, who is owned by Mrs Carol Witcomb. Nina has won 1CC and 2RCC's, Hugo has 1 RCC.
We have at present seven Tibetan terriers, our breeding stock are hip scored, and all of our dogs who are eye tested annually, are tested clear.
