| ABOUT US: We were maried on the 20th June 2006 at our beautiful Twin Waters home on the waters edge surrounded by family and friends. It was a ceremony ending in the release of several dozen beautiful Monarch butterflies. We spent our honeymoon touring in DAISY, our rather flamboyant mobile home which is of course named after our little Silky Terrier. Accompanied by six dogs, three Silkies, two GSP's and a borrowed Griffon we set off to do the show circuit from Alice Springs through to Darwin for the Royal. Not the sort of romantic honeymoon either of us envisaged but it was fun and we were certainly kept fit walking all those dogs. The Griffon, Ch Shigriff Wyld Fig Jam, who was borrowed from Caroline Elder, who was soon joined by another, Shigriff Storm In A Teacup. Having owned Dragon and then Billy and Tettles too we became very passionate about these special little dogs, so passionate about the breed in fact that we decided to get serious about owning some of our own. As we can only have two dogs at our Twin Waters home we decided that it was time to move and so we bought 10 acres at Ocean View, just five minutes down the road from Amate Park. The views of the Glass House Mountains from this property are stunning and we are currently in the process of designing a house with of course room for our growing family of Griffons and of course Daisy our Silky too. As well as our interest in dogs we also plan to resume breeding Llamas with the emphasis of our breeding programme on developing the true Suri Llama. As we are now heading in a new direction we decided to drop the Amate Park prefix and are now breeding under the prefix Llamas of Tzani. Tomorrow, the 27th April, we begin a three month adventure travelling overseas to the USA, Mexico, Europe and the UK. Our first stop is Los Angeles where we will visit Disneyland and MGM Studios before flying on to Albuquerque for the Silky Terrier Speciality accompanied by James Camac. As well as some sightseeing we will also attend a Suri Llama Conference in Colorado and several Griffon Specialities in Europe and the UK. I've said very little about the four Griffon bitches that we have purchased from Hans Bleeker and Jan den Otter ... that is another story which I'm affraid I don't have time to do justice to at the moment. We are extremely fortunate to have had this opportunity to obtain these four gorgeous girls from the leading Griffon breeders in Europe. Hans and Jan have been breeding Griffons under the prefixes of Leo Belgicus and vd Platte Belskes for 32 years. We will be in Amsterdam in time for what will probably be the last ever Griffon Speciality in the Netherlands in which our four girls will compete. Soon after the show they will depart for Australia. The limo is waiting ... I have to go now, but if you are interested in hearing about our travels then keep watch on our Latest News page. So until later ......au revoir. Diana and Tim |
