Our Dogs

The Ladies

My husband has classified the ladies’ personalities. His classification is based upon watching them grow and noting the antics and mischief they have gotten into. We wish to express our deep appreciation to Mary Morningstar of Wawatay and Traci Nelson of Sa Nashoba for all the wonderful help they have given us. It is truly a delightful experience to have other Tibetan Mastiff breeders become mentors and friends.

Wawatay’s Annamikii Denali
Annamikii is the mischievous one. She will wrap her paw around our leg as we walk by her, or she will slip up behind us and do it. If we are not paying enough attention to her, she will very gently nip us. She is tall and lanky and loves to show off. She has not met a stranger. Her tail is always wagging like a pompom. She loves to stretch out while gaiting in the ring. We describe her as the cheerleader. Her parents are: Sire: Kesang Camp’s Miinga Niiji; Dam: Dreamcatchers’ Shyama Star. Her pedigree is available upon request.

Wawatay’s Ocoee Mishi Makwa
Ocoee is sweet and gentle. When she was a puppy, she looked like a big black bear (Mishi Makwa). She is quiet, reserved, and very loving. She loves to sit and watch us. She puts her paw on us to wake us if she needs to go outside during the night. She follows us wherever we go. I lost a solid black 136 lb. wolf dog two years ago that had a small patch of white on his chest similar to Ocoee’s. At times, I think Teton has come back to us through Ocoee. My husband classifies her as the prom queen. Her parents are: Sire: Kesang Camp’s Miinga Niiji; Dam: Dreamcatchers’ Shyama Star. Her pedigree is available upon request.

Ch Wawatay’s Sierra Nevada
Sierra is our dominant female and an AKC Champion. She is the pack leader. She came into this world feisty and with the pack leader instinct. She has a strong guardian instinct and watchers over the rest of the pack and her family. She is the first one to explore something new. She is also our most stubborn one. If she decides to have a “Tibetan Moment” she will not corporate at all. She will sit down and refuse to move. I have learned to sit down and ignore her when she is in her “Tibetan Moment”. That little reverse psychology gets her attention. She will come to me and nudge me to pet her. She loves the pool and is always in it. My husband classifies as the chaperone. Her parents are: Sire: Kesang Camp’s Miinga Niiji; Dam: Dreamcatchers’ Shyama Star. Her pedigree is available upon request.

The Gent

Ch Sa Nashoba’s Comanche Tseena Kenai
Comanche is our AKC Champion golden boy. Tseena is wolf in the Comanche language. He is extremely laid back. He is very smart and grasped the commands of obedience training quickly. He loves to travel and is the first one in the vehicle. People always ask us what breed of dog is he? He looks so much like his dad, Treasure of Saras (Gazer). He wants to check out everything and everyone when we go somewhere. He is like Annamikii in that he does not know a stranger. He loves to be with the girls at all times. His parents are: Sire: Treasure of Saras (Gazer); Dam: Sa Nashoba’s Ayamanatara (Nadia). His pedigree is available upon request.
