THE BEGINNING                    INTRODUCTION IN FEBRUARY 2000, WHEN 2 OF OUR COCKER SPANIELS DIED, WE WERE OFFERED A PUPPY BY SOME FRIENDS. WHEN THIS BALL OF FUR ARRIVED IN OUR HOUSE AND STARTED TO GROW WE SOON FOUND OUT SHE WAS NOT LIKE ANY OTHER DOG WE HAD/HAVE OR KNEW. THEREFORE WE STARTED TO GATHER ALL THE INFORMATION WE COULD ON THE TIBETAN MASTIFF/DO-KHYI AND THROUGH www.tibentanmastiffs.com, WE LEARNT HOW TO TREAT AND RESPECT THIS WONDERFUL BREED. IN ALMOST 2 YEARS, WE MADE MANY FRIENDS ALL OVER THE WORLD, OWNERS AND BREEDERS WHO ARE ALWAYS READY TO HELP AND SHARE KNOWLEDGE ON THESE DOGS, THEIR ANCESTRY, AND HOW THEY LIVE IN THEIR HOMELAND TIBET. IN FEBRUARY 2002 WE DOUBLED OUR JOY WITH THE ARRIVAL OF ANOTHER TIBETAN GIRL INTO OUR LIFES. SHE FLEW OVER FROM HOLLAND AND HER NAME IS SAMANTABHADRA'S KASHYAPA. ANOTHER NEW GIRL ARRIVED AT THE BEGINNING OF 2005 TO CHANGE OUR DUO INTO A TRIO. SHE IS VAJRADHARA NI A SOECHAVATI AND WHAT A WONDERFULL TM SHE IS! 2007 STARTED IN A MOST PAINFUL WAY, AS KASHY DECIDED TO SAY GOODBYE TO US IN 16TH JAN, ON TOP OF ALL HER HEALTH ISSUES SINCE SHE WAS BORN IN THE END IT WAS CANCER THAT DEFEATED THIS BRAVE AND COURAGEOUS GIRL. LIFE MUST GO ON AND TO BRING SOME HAPPINESS TO A SAD HOUSEHOLD, FROM ESTONIA WITH LOVE, CHENPOREWA FIRST FATIMA OF MAITREYA (MAYA) IS NOW PART OF OUR FAMILY, I CANNOT THANK ENOUGH ANGELA AND IVAR FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SWEET GIRL.
