Tiakina is one of the most respected and well

Phyllis and Derek Rigby

They have bred and owned seven generations of Champion male dogs. Five of their shelties gained the title of Top Winner Sheltie (Dog World). They produced the most champion offspring (five) from three litters out of one bitch; three champion dogs in one litter. They have two different pastoral winners (they share this record with Mrs M Norman from Francehill). They bred the top brood bitch of all time. They both judged at Crufts.

I am very honoured that they accepted the invitation of being my guests in this world breeders portrait. I proudly present: Phyllis and Derek Rigby of kennel Lythwood U.K.

As breeders can think different, I trust you to read this article as it is meant to be: a portrait of world breeders, who were so kind to share so many years of experience in breeding and judging with us. Of course you don't have to agree with all the things Phyllis and Derek Rigby have pointed out, but I would appreciate it very much if you would respect their opinions.

“Look, learn and listen. Don't look at yours or other people’s dogs through rose-coloured spectacles. In breeding one should consider, not the dog that has got a lot of CCs, but what a particular line has produced to the line of your bitch. Consider the Standard, and judge your animal to how you think you could improve it.”
