Litter ‘B’ – Skye x Ukkie

Fumi Skye Manwë – we call her Skye at home, is my dream girl. I was planning for more than 2 years to add another female into our kennel. I was searching for so long to find the right litter that would satisfy my very high standards. I was searching for a litter where I could be absolutely sure about the presented health as well as satisfied with the personalities of both of the parents.

Skye is from a very nice litter of 8 puppies (2 females and 6 males) from which 6 puppies were standard. When I was going to pick a puppy, I had one aim and that was to have a copy of Badawi (Skye’s mother). I wanted a female with stable and composed personality, but also a female with an energetic and interacting personality. I wanted a female that would have the leadership skills to once lead the pack. Since I have a big interest in the show life I wanted a female that would be active and enjoy the show ring with me as well as enjoy other activities to keep my pack more alive. Skye took over this role instantly and I cannot describe her personality in words. Skye is the girl with hundreds of faces. She can be playful, energetic, naughty, cuddly, and when required, very protective over her family. She is such an important member of our pack without whom there would be a piece missing.

Even though we do not have little children in the family, Skye loves kids and has a really great relationship with all of them. She is very careful around children and knows exactly how to play with them. She really enjoys returning back to the kennel she was born in because she has a really good human-child friend with whom she always plays. Skye and I visit Kennel Manwë in which she was born very regularly and she is perfectly happy to fit in with the Manwë pack. Skye does not like conflicts and loves her dog friends (males and females).

Since I enjoy handling dogs, Skye has spent a lot of time in the show ring and she has achieved several titles. She loves the time in the show ring and she enjoys making me happy. When we are not in the show ring together we spend time on walks and obedience. Even though we do not focus on hunting too much, Skye managed to complete one hunting exam.

The father of our planned litter will be Kani Akilah Encane Hasani for Jengachenga – called Ukkie. Ukkie is a male from Dutch-English mating and comes from a litter of 10 healthy puppies. There was one non-standard female with crown offset.  Kennel Kani Akilah has a great database of all health results of their dogs, including progeny, regardless of the results. Unfortunately the plan of my first litter with Skye and Ukkie’s brother in Spring 2018 did not work out and I had to make the decision for another male. Kate, the owner of Ukkie, was absolutely amazing and immediately offered Ukkie to me. It is thanks to her and Esther that I can make my dream come true and finally include the Kani Akilah lines within my own breeding.

Ukkie i a very calm and mature male that loves people. He lives with his owner and his dog family in Scotland. He is a very cuddly and compassionate dog.

When I was looking for stud male for Skye I was trying to find a confident male that would complete Skye. Ukkie has a great male head with great expression, great strong jaw and with good ear set. He s a very balanced of long format and good angulations. Ukkie and his owner are not the fanatics into shows as I am but they still achieved the life-long CRUFTS entry as well as Green Stars for the Irish Championship.
