*Raffica's at Donibane

Imports

                                                                       The first import made was from the  U.S.A. from  Raffica Kennels. It was a son of the marvellous "Taco" ("Pahlavi Puttin' on the Ritz) that took my breath away from the very first moment. Although not related to my bloodline,  I planned to bring with me a son of him. So very determined to that, I contacted with the charming  Sue & Garret Games (Raffica Kennels), importing a puppy from his litter out of USA.Ch. Raffica's Ginger Snap, called "Raffica's at Donibane"  (see above picture), Sumava Kennels would breed him to  "Sumava's Illargi" before closing their succesfull breeding plan, being it the last litter that took place on that kennel.                                                                     

                                                                       Later,  deeper and deeper into the  rearing plans, I decided to import from Chahcheran Kennels of Bev Ward "Chahcheran Inditu"  that would be used to be able to breed  two of the most important litters at Jatabe the "B" and the "D" litters. That sire, had an incredible  quality as a stalion , producing individuals much better than himself, proving  that the breeding potential underlays in the quality of the pedigree.

                                                                      The next and the last import from  Chahcheran Kennels will be a couple of bitches in order to be able to breed  the next two litters at "Jatabe" .The first one is "Chahcheran Nu-Donna"   an"Indi" (Chahcheran Inditu) daughter, and the second  "Chahcheran Jhehanna"  half sister of  him ,so the "Indi-connection" would be reinforced in the near  future. 

                                                                        Last but not least in 2004 I imported one of Larry Wilt's famous Grandeur bred males to be able to acomplish one of the best litters ever at Jatabe, the "I" litter, out of my best bitch "Silmaril of Jatabe". That male was a combination of the  famous Grandeur bloodline with the not less famous Dureigh and Ben-Ghazi strains, a very classical mating that prooved very successful in the past. His name "Asia Magic Dragon V Empyrean", thanks a lot Larry!

                                                                        In 2007 we could import a puppy bitch from France her name "Caroline du Val de Broceliande at Jatabe" from Jacqueline Prudhomme, she happened to get together in a single litter all her favorite Sumava descending progeny and pedigrees so no surprising that  we could take advantage of it importing this fantastic black and tan bitch, Merci beaucup Jacqueline for this "petit diablesse".
