“Hank” has also spent some time in England and his debut was BOB at
Bournemouth. He won res. CC before coming back to Sweden and the
Klahn-Löfquist’s (Ydrested’s) who has shown him to his titles here. He
has two interesting champion offspring out of CC-winner, Cobby’s
Mistanguette; the grizzle Sw Ch Cobby’s Midas Touch and the pinky Sw Ch
Cobby’s Money, Money, Money who is in Finland now, with Paula Valakari (Fantabulous)
and we are eagerly awaiting Money’s daughter, Fantabulous Million Dollar
Babe. Hank’s most prominent offspring in England is probably Jill
Stevenson’s Brickin Hey Good Lookin’ who has left a string of promising
offspring.

“Davy” spent some time in England and at his debut won Best in Show at
the Norwich Terrier Clubs Ch ship Show under Ann Forman. Davy won yet
another C.C. but then entered the fabulous “Trueman” the rings, and he
was unstopable, hence a third C.C. eluded Davy, so he came back to
Sweden and Marita & Olle Billström (Wich-Hounds) to gain his Swedish
title. We are very proud of his achievement’s and happy that he left
some nice puppies in England. The first of his champion offspring was
made up in the Philippines, owned by Emil Stensland.

“Thomas”, photographed when he won Best in Group, under Frank Jones at
LKA, only 8 month old! He came to Cobby’s before he was two years old
and with a BOB at Crufts. Thomas’ aunt is the famous “Dallas” and his
grandfather is the now very successful sire in USA, UK & Am Ch
Deansleigh Interceptor. Thomas has also proven his worth and that the
lines are of value is without questioning, Thomas has already sired
champions in England, Spain, Finland and Sweden.

(Am Ch Yarrow Sandstorm x Ragus Sweet Deceit)
“Dallas” is Top winning female and top producing brood in England. No
other female have won the number of Groups and she also won 12 CCs. &
BIS at National Terrier! But her claim to fame is probably even more
significant as a top producer. She was Top Brood all Terrier Breeds in
2006! In her first litter was 4 champion daughters (!) and since then
she has had 2 more champions, one being the breeds, all time Top Norwich
(who was 3rd Top Dog, all breeds, in Britain in 2008), Lesley Crawley’s
UK Ch Ragus Rings True. Dallas Swedish bred UK Ch daughter Cobby’s
Dressed to Kill was the sixth Ch.

“Fazer” served UK Ch Ragus Red Poison before she went back to England
and hence he became the grandfather of the youngest C.C. winner ever in
Britain when UK Ch Ragus Black Tie won his first CC at the age of 6
month and 1 day!

“P.K” was “commissioned” from Ann Forman (Waleric) who had announced
that she was going to breed a last litter, and it would be from Pearl
Diver. A daughter of Cathy Thompson Morgan’s very typy, UK, & multi Ch
Chatz Norse King of Bellville and a daughter of my UK & Int Ch Cobby’s
Timothy Gyp. I asked Ann if she could consider using Martin Phillips
“King Creol” to Diver. After some organizing, King Creol had not been
uses for some years and was placed in a private home, the mating took
place and to my joy Ann agreed for me to have the only puppy, a pink boy
P.K. – a stunning carbon copy of Gyp in looks as well as in behaviour!
P.K. served UK & Sw Ch Cobby’s Dressed to Kill before she went to
England in 2007 and their fabulous daughter, UK & Am Ch Ragus Got The
Look was Top winning female in Britain in 2008!

Sw Ch Cobby’s China Blue Scilla
(Int Ch Cobby’s Bay Laurel x Sw Ch Cobby’s Cornflower)
“Scilla” and her sister Sw Ch Cobby’s Convallis Lilia were quite
successful in the rings – but unfortunately not as producers. The
complete opposite was the case with their only brother, Cobby’s Crocus.
He was shown once with a 1st grading but no more. He was a tremendously
sound dog with strong bone, straight forelegs, ext straight tail and a
super coat, black eyes and full set of big teeth like a GSD (Schäfer)!
But his drawback in the ring was being a bit big, a bit long in loin and
too high in hocks as well as slightly long in muzzle. Well, why
mentioning him at all… The reason is that the only two litters he ever
sired were of such lovely quality (5 Ch out of 8 born) that he certainly
made up for what his beautiful sisters lacked – producing quality!

“Trotter” came to Sweden in 1990 after winning his 18th CC at Crufts
that year. He was the C.C. record holder, a position he held in England
until 2009 when UK Ch Ragus Rings True (by Sw Ch Cobby’s Famous Rebel x
UK & Sw Ch Ragus Truly Unruly) beat it. Trotter was on loan from Michael
Crawley and stayed with me for a year and a half. He was a splendid sire:
Top Stud in England 1990; Top Stud in England & Sweden in 1991 and Top
Stud in Sweden again in 1992. Trotter sired 9 Ch in England, 13 in
Sweden and probably many more in other countries.

“Bunny” went to England on loan to Michael Crawley and became the first
undocked UK champion of any customarily docked breeds. She was Top
Winning bitch in England 1992 & Top Brood in 1994. She had a litter in
England before returning to Sweden which contained of UK Ch Elve The
Viking (Top Sire in UK); UK & CAN Ch Elve Sir Knight and Elve Nineve,
the mother of UK Ch Elve The Red Knight. Bunny was BIS at the Swedish NT

veteran and took his Swedish title, which is somewhat easier than
gaining the Italian title that needed 6 CCs to qualify!

“Gyp” was the first imported Norwich Terrier to become a champion in
England, which he did in 1991. The year after he was BOB at Crufts. He
was Top Sire both in England and Sweden the following years. He sired 15
champions, 3 in England.

“Bruce” was one of the Cobby’s absolute Top Winners during the 1980s. He
won groups at general Ch ship Shows, Terrier Club Specialities as well
as at Club Shows. He continued to win as a veteran and was BIS-Veteran
at general Ch ship shows. We are pleased to have him represented closely
in our present I-line.

“Bobby” was one of the best type-wise and also one of the most used stud
dogs in Sweden, but his offspring is not much represented today as many
of the breeders that used him are not active nowadays. He was owned by
the Matchmaker kennel. We still have him closely represented in Ch
Cobby’s Challenger.

Sw Ch Redash Roughrider
(UK Ch Sebzevar Claret and Blue x UK Ch Redash Gin Rummy)
“Frank” was only used outside the kennel once.
Two of his incisive met
in a level bite; hence he was not at public stud. T
eeth placement did
not stop him from being Top Winner as well as a Group Winner. I am glad
to say that of the 17 puppies he sired (well it was 19 born but two died
in accidents before 4-5 month of age) all had perfect scissor bites and
15 of them were made up champions, one had 2 CCs and the 17th gained a
CC-quality card!

(UK Ch Daffran Rufus x UK Ch Ragus Griselda)
Garrick was a half-brother to the breed’s first BIS winner in England,
Ch Ragus Gypsy Love. Garrick was the breeds Top Winner in England in
1977, the same year that I had money on the racing horse Red Rhum when
he won the Grand National for the third time! Garrick won Group-2 at
Richmond Ch ship Show before he left for Sweden. He sired 16 Champions,
several in England.

The first of many of our famous English Champions, “Sid” was born in
1970, the same year that his father, UK Ch Withalder Locksley was the
first Norwich Terrier ever to win a Group at Crufts! Sid was the breeds
first Group winning male in Sweden (he won 3 groups and was BIS-2 at two
of the occasions). His foremost claim to fame is as the sire of 36
Champions, several in the UK.
