^{The Drakyi Hall of Fame}

ATMA/ARBA/FIC Ch. Formosa-Drakyi Simba

ATMA Ch. DRAKYI Rebel-lion x Denali's Tsunami
Jan. 18, 1993. OFA GOOD. 30", 165 lbs. Gold.

SIMBA, a seventh generation DRAKYI line-bred dog, has become the focus and foundation of our breeding program, and others around the world. A double grandson of the breed great "Maynard," harkening back to the fabled giant Tsang Khyi variety, Simba and his get are setting new standards for size, bone, head type, and temperament. He was ATMA's National Specialty Stud Dog winner for 1995 and 1996. Simba represents the ideal Tibetan Mastiff as the cover dog for the breed book, The Tibetan Mastiff, Legendary Guardian of the Himalayas, by Rohrer and Flamholtz, and is featured on the breed DVD, "The Magnificent Tibetan Mastiff."

ATMA/ARBA/FIC/SKC/CRS/INT'L Ch. Formosa-Drakyi Dreamer

DRAKYI's Dreamer and litter sister Nadia (Ch. Drakyi Perfect Ten Hoshen, owned by Dennis & Nancy Young), swept the 1997 ATMA National and Regional Specialties as Best of Breed AND Best Opposite Sex! Dreamer was the show dog of a lifetime. Handled by breeder/owner Rick Eichhorn (and later retired with owner Ann Oviatt), some of Dreamer's wins include:

· 1997 ATMA National Specialty Best of Breed under AKC judge Dr. Richard Meen, and Best Opposite Sex the following day at the ATMA Regional Specialty.

· 1998 ARBA Golden Nugget BEST IN CLASSIC (3 Best in Shows, 1 Reserve Best in Show)

· Multiple Best of Breed, Group, Best in Show awards with ARBA, Tri-States Working Dog Association, Canine Rarities Show, the Pacific Northwest Tibetan Mastiff Association.

TMCA Premiere/ARBA/Master Ch. Drakyi Nahkote, "BEAR"

Owned and handled by the late Peggy Hervatine, Bear and Peggy were most often seen in the Group and Best in Show ring. The golden Bear was the largest of TMs to be seen in the ring, impressing judges with his beauty, type, presence and soundness.

Denali's Tsunami

ATMA/SKC Ch. Sierras' Mojahedin Maynard
x ATMA Ch. MCA's Anjuli Bai DRAKYI
11-03-89. OFA GOOD. 26.5", 130 lbs. Gold.

The strength of any line of dogs is based on outstanding bitches. Without question, Tsunami represents that ideal, with her solid structure, beautiful head type and mastiff-like breed type. Dam of our "Golden Boy" Simba, Tsunami appears many times in our very best pedigrees. She was ATMA's #1 Brood Bitch for 1996.
