At the time when
we were deciding which breed of big dogs to choose, the Tibetan
Mastiff attracted us by its appearance at first. The nature is,
however, much more important, and we took to the dignified
nature of the Tibetan Mastiff, which is reserved towards
strangers but nice towards family members. What did we want? In
the year 1991 our three children were relatively young, so the
most important thing was that the dogs and the children should
like and uderstand each other. What we further expected from our
future friend was both the care and the feeding in adulthood
without excessive demands, the ability to guard without any
special training, no great need to be walked and hardiness. We
did not need an absolutely obedient dog, but a sensible friend
and guard dog. As we were getting to know the Tibetan Mastiff´s
nature, we came to realise that it was ideal for us. We could
give them a lot of love, enough time and understanding. And so
we brought home two beautiful bushy little bears, our first two
bitches Anik-Chin and Bali Alatna on 30 December 1992…
The little dog-girls grew quickly and
we were lucky, they were exactly as we had imagined them, they
grew up to become two beauties, so dog shows started. Bali
became the first Interchampion from Czech breeding, Aisha was
also successful. We decided to start breeding and we kept female
Annabell from the first litter (she became the second
Interchampion from Czech breeding), and we were already
pondering what to do next. We brought a male Of Zlazano Lhako
from Finland and we were choosing other suitable partners for
our females. All our Tibetan Mastiffs were black and tan, but
blue and tan is also interesting colour. This decided our future
steps: we kept Eli. Ellisabeth is female with a pleasant nature,
exceptionally beautiful. In the year 1999 we brought home
our little darling, male Phou-Sheng des Mille Vallees from
France. Tashi, as we called him, was amazing. We liked his
appearance and nice nature. In the year 2000 there were very few
golden Tibetan Mastiffs in Czech Republic. The golden female of
my dreams Chua-Jen was born as the first puppy in the litter.
Thanks to Bali, my dream came true. Some of our dog-friends have
already left us, but their offsprings live with us… And
Eli? In the year 2003 we took her to our first World Dog Show,
thinking how fine it would be to gain fifth place. There were 8
females in Champion Class with Eli. And Ellisabeth won, she got
the title World Winner! We achieved another great success at
World Dog Show 2006 in Poznan, Poland, at which Mimayin Strazce
z Tibetu (son of Falco Strazce z Tibetu and Chua-Jen Strazce
z Tibetu) got title World Winner too. At 2009 Ellisabeth and
Irdlow got World Veteran Winner, female Xenie Strazce z Tibetu
World Junior Winner...
The Tibetan Mastiff evokes the image of
a huge dog by its very name. That´s why our main aim is to breed
not only healthy, but also nice and large dogs with beautiful
movement and correct legs. So far we have been successful, the
majority of our males are more than 72 cm tall and have nice
movement.
Our family of dogs has grown and
I´m glad we´ve got many friends among the owners of our puppies.
We would like to thank all who look after our dogs-children and
we wish them a lot of pleasure in their life with Tibetan
Mastiffs.

2012....In 2012 my
husband died. I have to take care of the dogs myself, but the
next generations of our dogs Strazce z Tibetu will make their
owners happy and run at shows. Ivana
