: Trad 2006

Can Ch/Ch Tamaron’s Arranbrae Tradition (Trad).

Born on 5th August 1998, Trad arrived in Australia in December 1999.

Trad’s sire is Am/Can Ch Highcroft Tamaron’s Contender,(Rocky) who is a litter brother to my Am Ch Highcroft Calienté (Imp USA).
Rocky was Best of Winners at the 1996 Collie Club of Canada National Specialty Show under Dorothy Welsh and completed his title at 9 months of age.
Rocky to date has produced 18 Champions and 5 pointed offspring.

Can Ch Tamaron’s State of Mind,(Stacey) like her son Trad, finished undefeated at 7 months. In her first litter when bred to Ch Gambit’s Restless State she produced among other now titled get, BISS/Int’l/Can Ch Tamaron’s State Of Confusion who has been a great winner and sire at Tamaron and also was Best in Specialty at the CCC Nationals in 1997.

Trad at home

Trad was Runner Up Best of Breed to my Ch LochWind Arts Degree at the Perth Royal Show 2002, when owned by Sue Henley. This was under collie specialist Mr Horatio Pizzorno.

Trad was rarely seen after gaining his Australian Championship. Used only once or twice in Australia. Bred to the tri bitch, Vedamea Black Saphire, Trad produced Ch Arranbrae USA Connection.

I purchased Trad in winter 2005. It took some months to get him ready to be seen in public again.

I entered him in only four shows.

12th Feb 2006 Best In Group. B&DDC

25th Feb 2006 Challenge Dog. HK&TC

6th Mar 2006 BOB. The Western Classic.

14th Jul 2006 CC & RUBOB. The Winter Festival

The beautiful Trad proved all he needed to in those four shows. He was retired.

Mia

In 2006 Trad was bred to our Quinn x Calli daughter, Ch LochWind Color Mia Rainbow.

On the 3rd June 2006, Mia whelped the “Ex” litter which was comprised of seven puppies. These pups were DNA clear eyed.
Ch LochWind Exclusive who easily attained the 100 points for his title by 8 months of age, was ranked number one Collie Puppy in Australia, by Dogzonline Pointscore 29.4.2007 shown by Jane Armatys, International judge and breed specialist, of Keamaree Collies.

Blade

The Ex litter contained some spectacular puppies that were never shown. I had made the decision to stop showing at that time. So all bar two were sterilised and pet homed.
