INT N S UCH
     Larun Your Choice  

  

Tia's far var Sjur Halls (Monolitten's Boxers) første markante import, den imponerende 
INT N SF UCH NORD V-83 KITWE OUT THE BLUE.  Han produserte totalt 17 norske champions, en rekord som bare er slått av en annen av Sjur Halls importer N UCH NORD  V-87NV-88 TRIGLYPHT THE SORCERER, Sorcy.  Men Blue hadde også en pote med i mange av champion-avkommene til Sorcy da flere av dem var etter døtre av Blue.

Tia's mor er N UCH LARUN KALINKA.  Hun er et av de mange championavkom etter den kjente kombinasjonen
CAN AM N UCH MEPHISTOS INTERMEZZO og LARUN ELEKTRA. 

Som man ser av Tias tittelrekke levde hun så absolutt opp til forventningene vi hadde til henne som liten valp.  I tillegg bestod hun:
  
   Funksjonsanalyse som boxer nr. 2  i Norge       
   NKK's kåringsprøve for tjenestehunder
   Hun ble dessuten den først norskoppdrettede og -eide boxeren med   svensk utstillingschampionat

Hun satte også spor etter seg i valpekassen.

Unni Vestrheim (Kennel Larun) generously enough let us choose freely from her Y-litter when we in 1985 decided to extend the family with another boxer. The condition was that we made our choice entirely without the assistance of the experienced breeder.
    
This was a first in the lifetime-experience for us, but as we were relatively new to the breed the odds were against us choosing the pick of the litter. 
After having studied the litter during a hot summer morning in the kennel garden, we finally ended up with the bitch with the unsymmetrical markings in the head.  Leaving the very similar bitch with symmetrical markings with the breeder.  Unni seemed somewhat surprised over our choice, but managed to hold her tongue.  With her husband`s final words; "THAT puppy will bring you a lot of happiness " ringing in our ears, we departed with Tia whom Unni rightly named; Your Choice.

Tia`s sire was Sjur Halls (Monolitten's Boxers) first major import, the outstanding  INT N SF CH NORDIC W-83 KITWE OUT THE BLUE.  Who sired a total of 17 Norwegian champions, a record only beaten by another of Sjur Halls imports N CH NORDIC W-87NW-88 TRIGLYPHT THE SORCERER Sorcy.  But Blue even had a hand in the champions sired by Sorcy as the better part of them came out of daughters of Blue.
Tia's dam was N CH LARUN KALINKA, one of many champions from the succesfull combination of  CAN.AM.N.CH. MEPHISTOS INTERMEZZO and LARUN ELEKTRA. 

As Tia`s titles will show she fully lived up to our and her breeeder's expectations.  She also passed:
  
The working ability test (funksjonsanalyse) as the second boxer in Norway     
The Norwegian Kennel Clubs Obedience test for working breeds (NKK's kåringsprøve for tjentestehunder)          
She also became the first Norwegian owned and bred boxer to become a Swedish champion        

She also proved to be quite a dam . . .
