Paméla are the "mum" in the family and it was back in 1987 that she went to Stockholm and bought her first Tibetan spaniel. Zibban's Just mr Chips was a wouderful little guy, so a mere year later she bought dog numer two; Zollis Ci-g-ward. A prince in the house! One year and on month later it was time for the first girl in the family; Zibban's Charmtroll. The breeding intrerest awoke and in 1991 Paméla founded Lill Tibben's kennel. The name of the kennel (translated to English: "Tiny Tibetan") came of Pamélas wish to breed smaller dogs when the breed itself started to grow rather big! Many dogs have seen the light of day through the years and every litter have been named in alphabetical order. During 2007 the whole alphabet had been used and Lill Tibben's "new" A-litter was born.
Johan is the "father" of the family and he just happened to end up in the middle of the kennel when he met Paméla, and it did not take long before his interest was awoken. Nowadays he regularly goes to meetings and he happily goes to dog-shows, anatomy courses, cleans up after the dogs (but then he does not look so happy..) and everyting else that comes with the life as a "Lill Tibbe". Nowadays he also is a proud part-owner of the kennel!
Gina was more or less born in a litter-box! She soon took interest for the dogs and participated in dog-shows as a little girl. Nowadays you can often find her giving a helping hand during births and such.(hittade inte ordet för valpning, så jag skrev födslar istället) Gina is also very good at showing the dogs at dog-shows. Until April 2008 she went to school at Dingle naturbruksgymnasium and studied natural science, she graduated with 22 MVG. Now life awaits with new challenges, but she still remains her mothers "right hand" when it comes to breeding.
Jimmy was born just a few days after the first litter in 1991, so crawling around kissing puppies are fully natural to him. But cleaning up after them and going to dog-shows does not interest Jimmy at all, but he do nurse all the dogs tenderly.
Jesper has grown though he is the youngest in the family. When he was little, mum always were occupied telling him not to carry the puppies upside-down, but nowadays he gladly takes care of the dogs and walks them in the summer, but as soon as mum suggests that he should participate in a dog-show he gets REALLY MAD! PAH! It's not his thing. But he does like to stick around the house and take care of the little puppies.
Micaela tfinds it very fun to be around the dogs! She also just happened to get involved with the dogs when her dad met Paméla. Micaela gladly visits and she often take a long walk with a couple of the dogs. She has also participated in dog-shows and such and we believe that at least ONE tibetian spaniel will move with her when she gets her own apartment!
Johanna is the one in the family who has the most harsh point of view on all the dogs who runs around! Her love to the dogs are great, but she finds them a few to many.. But she likes to sit in the sofa and cuddle with a dog, or two.. or three..
Josefin loves to cuddle with our little dogs just as Jesper! She has now been around a couple of litters and she is really gentle with our puppies! Though Josefin, apart from Jesper, finds it fun to participate in dog-shows and luckily we have a few to choose from when the times come!
As you can see we are a big family!
Everyone is welcome here, two-legged as four-legged!
Sometimes you can't keep in touch with everyone you wish, but the thought of our friends and those who now have one of our puppies always lingers in our hearts!
