Khados Kennels, based in the Midlands, on the
Warwickshire/Worcestershire border, close to the M42 and within easy distance of M40/M5/M6 interchanges. A
small, owner run business, the boarding kennels are set in our own gardens and our guests are looked after
alongside our own precious Tibetan Terriers.
Our own dogs range in age from fifteen years to six months old .Pictured is George
our oldest Tibetan Terrier, on his fourteenth birthday and proud to be wearing his new birthday present bandana.
We also have a lazy fat cat called Fred.

What's New?
What have the Khados Tibetan Terriers been
doing lately?
After a few years when we had been fairly inactive in terms of competing, we managed to get out and about
to a few shows in 2006/7, with some success.
In 2006 Khados Howz' That (Howard) won his class at Crufts and at Southern Counties won the reserve challenge
certificate (our first green edged card for two years), at Windsor, Fleur - Khados Comin' Up Roses - won her second reserve
CC. Howard won another at BUBA and to end the year on a nice note, our co-owned puppy Khados More Than Lucky won Best Puppy
In Breed at LKA.
Khados Dublin Quest (Patrick) owned by Maggie Irving, also won his class at Crufts, our own Khados Fifi La Femme (Fifi)
and Champion Khados Diamond Delbert both came home with second prizes, as did Khados Mad About The Boy for Regenka (Bex) owned
by Gill DuCros. We were proud that seven of the eleven Khados bred dogs shown at Crufts in 2006 were placed.
Other championship show first prize winners in 2006 were Khados Cinderella Man owned by Avril McLean, Khados Comin' Up
Roses and Khados Sweet William, owned by Julia Tuck, Khados Bad Beatrice with Leashkan owned by Olive Thomas, Khados Fallen
Madonna with Merrifern owned by Sue Wood and Mary Smith, Khados More Than Lucky co-owned with Roger and Soo Jackson, Khados
Pink Passion owned by Tony Skaboullos and Gary Faulkener, her sister, our own Khados Patchwork Princess (Patches) and
of course Fifi and Delbert, the latter still showing strong in his twelfth year.
Other highlights of 2006 were in January, the Togepi boys crowning their first Champion, Renvall's Vanity Fayre, a daughter
from George's final litter and the first new Champion of 2006, she also gained another CC later in the year.
The birth of our healthy, happy puppies and the pleasure that others gained from their litters from Khados progeny.
Our first holiday in twenty something years in a remote corner of Scotland with six of our dogs.
And so we moved on to 2007, a bittersweet year for us, in our personal family life there was a heavy sadness
for the first six months of the year with the long and lingering illness that Mother suffered and then thankfully her
eventual peace in June. We are grateful for the comfort and kindness of our friends which helped us through
that dreadful time. As time goes on and our kennel becomes older it becomes inevitable that there will be sadness
too in saying goodbye to many of our dear four legged friends as they leave us to play happily in doggy heaven and
2007 was a particularly cruel year. We pay tribute here to our darling Diamond Delbert and Must Be Maude and to other Khados
bred dogs, Almost An Angel, litter mates Brown Sugar, Stormin' Norman and Georgia Brown, Bill Bailey and other relations,
Adora Bella, Mister Wiggley, Prairie Rose, Symon Saint and Miss Mollie Marple - to all owners, our heartfelt thanks for
caring so well for these precious little people and we hope that in time you will look back only with happy memories and not
with sadness.
There were happy times and celebrations in 2007 too, Howard won his first CC with BOB at Birmingham City Show,
ironically the same show where we had last won a CC some six years earlier with Delbert in 2001. Best Veteran in
Show wins for both Delbert and Doris. There were more reserve CCs, three for Howard and one for Fleur, there were plenty
of first prizes for Khados dogs and their progeny throughout the year, we enjoyed success with our breeding abroad.
There were three lovely healthy litters born, to Fifi, Scarlet and Lala, other friends were pleased with litters
by our boys, we had another holiday in Scotland and we enjoyed the company of visitors from overseas Tibetan kennels
and the fabulous World Congress weekend in August.
Let us now see what 2008 holds in store.
Our thanks to all owners of Khados tibetan terriers and their offspring for their placings in 2006/7
- well done, we are very proud of you and we wish you good luck and continued success for 2008.
