Ellen Lonigro began the Kinderland tradition some 30 years ago. She has bred many influential lhasas. Later on Susan Giles bought Am Ch Kinderland Chok´s Seneca and fell in love with this beautiful breed. That was the start of an alliance and now there is 50 co-bred Kinderland Ta Sen Am Champions that all come down from this one bitch. So Kinderland Ta Sen have built up a tradition of true top producers. Generation after generation breed typical lhasas that also produce champions.

Seneca was bred to Am Ch Ruffway T´ang Chu and a bitch from this combination was bred to Multi BIS AM & Eng Ch Orlane´s Intrepid which produced the super producer AM CH Kinderland Ta Sen Dakini. Ellen and Susan really did some interesting line breeding to their wonderful bitch line and so Seneca was mated with her grandson Dakini which produced legendary Kinderland Ta Sen Isis. She became one of the all time top producing lhasa bitches in the world with 18 Am Ch offspring.

Later Dakini also mated his sires sister and this produced the legendary and great lhasa BIG-win. AM & Can Ch Orlane´s Scirocco one of the greatest producers ever with some 50 Am Ch offspring including many Best in Show winners and top producers. Scirocco mated bitches coming down from Isis and those wonderful pedigrees have doubled up the strong Kinderland Ta Sen line.

BISS Am & Fin Ch Kinderland Ta Sen Tip O `Th Rock

Top producing Kinderland Ta Sen Isis was bred to famous Multi BIS & BISS Am & Can Ch Misti´s Play It Again Sam who also was top producer. This interesting combination produced for ex. Am Ch Kinderland Ta Sen Candy Tuft. Candy Tuft was mated to Scirocco and this superior combination produced several top champions such as: BIG-win. Am & Can Ch Kinderland Ta Sen Rockwell and BISS Am & Fin Ch Kinderland Ta Sen Tip O `Th Rock (”Tipster”). Tipster lives here in Finland and has an important role in our breeding program. Our important top producing Int Ch Hylan Sho Tru Bye Bye Birdy (Scirocco granddaughter) and our Champion bitches down from her have been mated with ”Tipster”. Here we have combined two top producing bitch lines Kinderland Ta Sen Isis and Am Ch Hylan – Orlane Snowbird producer of 16 Champions (our Birdy dam). These combinations have produced some superior bitch that we have every reason to believe will be as great producers as their grandmothers has been.

Int Ch Hylan Sho Tru Bye Bye Birdy

Midge Hylton and Pat Keen have done some outstanding work with their lhasas producing many BIS and BISS winners over the years. Specially a bitch named Am Ch Hylan Orlane Snow Bird has been a great producer. Snowbird was mated to BISS Am & Can Ch Hylan Sho Tru Tak´M By –Storm (again Scirocco son) which produced many excellent lhasas. I specially admire Multi BIS & BISS Am Ch Hy Lan Sho Tru Tak´M By-Storm. I was so fortunate to get a bitch from that combination namely BIG-pl. Int & Fin & Swe & Norw & Est Ch Hy Lan Sho Tru Bye Bye Birdy. She has been a superior producer and is the all time top producing lhasa bitch in Finland. We are so happy to continue this unique bitch line, and we have several top champion bitches down from Birdy to continue with. We have specially mixed these bitches with our Kinderland Ta Sen dogs.

Multi BIG-pl. Am & Fin Ch Ta Sen Victory Chic Choix Shoe

”Tipster” brother of BIG-win Am & Can Ch Kinderland Ta Sen Rockwell had a litter with our Int & Fin & Am & Swe & Norw Ch Chic Choix Twelveoak´s Lady ( BISS Int Ch Chic Choix Ashley Wilkes x Int Ch Hylan Sho Tru Bye Bye Birdy) which produced an interesting top winning male Multi BIG-pl. Am & Fin Ch Ta Sen Victory Chic Choix Shoe. “Shoe” is a combination of two legendary traditions and top producing bitch lines Kinderland Ta Sen and Hy Lan Sho Tru – linebred to Scirocco. ”Shoe” has an important role in our breeding program and we have bred him back to a Birdy granddaughter and also mixed him with some of our other lhasas. So we can breed back to the Kinderland Ta Sen line.

BISS Fin & Am Ch Ta Sen Victory Tip Toe

We also have had an interesting bitch BISS Fin & Am Ch Ta Sen Victory Tip Toe (”Tulip”) Tipster´s daughter here at Chic Choix. She produced one male, Chic Choix Sumar Super Star sired by Multi BIS & BISS Ch San Jo´s Shutter Speed, and this male will help us again hopefully to produce something new and interesting to be bred back to both traditions.

As we look at our cream and light gold colored lively puppies with short loins, proud well arched necks – we know that these two lines have an interesting future here at Chic Choix. We are so fortunate to be able to breed them together. This will produce interesting individuals with very unique pedigrees that have produced much needed genetical variation in Europe. I must thank very much Ellen Lonigro, Susan Giles, Midge Hylton and Pat Keen that they have sent me these wonderful dogs to work with.

Susan Giles is a very special friend and our co-operation has been so fruitfull. This international co-operation offers many interesting possibilities and I’m looking forward to seeing what this co-operation will produce.
