The Kennel

This is a kennel run by me, Mikaela Sandbacka and my partner Patrik play a part in it. I’ve wanted a dog all my life and started harassing my parents at the age of seven. My first dog, a Shetland Sheepdog, was a male called Tim. He moved in in 97, I was twelve at the time.
 

I learned a lot from my time with Tim so naturally I wanted a second dog as I couldn’t do shows nor compete with Tim as much as I would have wanted. This led to Rosie moving in, another Sheltie. I made my show depute with Rosie that resulted in a blue stripe, I have learned a lot since. Rosie and I started competing in agility. She reached Class 3 in both disciplines and has one certificate. We had a try at Obedience but it didn’t turn out to be our thing, so we spent all our time on the agility course. She was supposed to be my broodbitch but unfortunately she turned out to have C on one of her hips. She is now forced to retire due to Health conditions.

Since neither of my Shelties had been entirely healthy I started searching for a new breed. I found the Japanese Spitz. After attending a lot of shows and extensive research I decided to go with Enfloy’z kennel and made a reservation for a bitch puppy there. After a year and a half Diva arrived, an absolutely lovely dog! She is now Swedish Champion, Swedish Agility (jump) Champion and the mother of twelve gorgeous puppies (two litters).

Later I bought a dog from Enfloy’s Kennel, little Nike. I just adore his mother and couldn’t refuse the offer to buy him! He is absolutely lovely and has managed to become Swedish Champion and is the proud father of fifteen puppies in three litters

As Rosie started getting older and Tim moved to a friend of mine in the Swedish country side region of Värmland I got the urge for a new Sheltie. I started looking for combinations I liked and found Sannie. She’s my little sweetheart. Unfortunately she didn’t become something worth taking to shows, even though she’s attended once with a red stripe. But she’s a rocket on the agility course. Her first litter she got two puppies, sadly they both died after just two days. I will probably try once more.

As it turned out, Annie (Daughter of Diva) adored me above all else apart from maybe her mother and refused to leave our pack after a visit. I got the ownership from my mom and her friend this Christmas. She is incredibly beautiful and currently has four certificates, one cacib and 3 winner titles. Furthermore she’s a rocked on the agility course.

Future plans hold imports of both breeds but when that will happen we are unsure of.

Next dog will be Patriks first dog of his own and will be called Adidas (his father is Nike). He’s from the C litter (C’s Circus Clown). It wasn’t planned but he has many features from his father Nike who is best friends with Patrik, so he couldn’t resist having his child here with us, to train and love from the very start. We both hope he will become at least as beautiful as his father and mother. He shows the sign of a future Agility dog; he loves toys and is absolutely crazy.

Chezzay’s breeding goals:
We want to breed dogs with plenty of working spirit with a healthy and for the breed typical exterior. The dogs used for breeding by Chezzay’s have been shown with a result of first price and up. They are also actively trained on the agility course. We will make random testing of hips, elbows, and knees of our Japanese Spitz’s as there’s no severe problems in the breed at the moment. We will check hips and eyes on our shelties. Eye’s since it is required and hips cause we feel too many severe faults are appearing. Should the situation change we will then revaluate the situation.
