Welcome to
Falkor Rottweilers
We were introduced to this amazing breed in the late 80’s when we got Defa. He had limited success in the ring but his forte was Obedience where he competed at test "A" as well as representing the South and South West of England at Crufts in the JHA finals.
We increased the gang with Stacey then Fugley and then Ishey who also had limited showing success. The Falkor gang currently consists of Finley, Auyrn and her daughter Minx.
We choose our Affix “FALKOR” which is the name of the “luck dragon” (a dog like creature) from the NeverEnding Story and our foundation bitch Auryn is named after the amulet which has the power to save the land of Fantasia and which the story is based around. The Falkor emblem incorporates “The Auryn” and a head study of Chinnie who was Auryn’s daughter who we kept from her first litter. Tragically we lost Chinnie very suddenly in February 2007 to ITP.
We were going to keep the mythical theme when naming our pups and spent many hours studying some weird and wonderful ones. Then one day while chatting to Mary MacPhail and running some of these by her, she wisely suggested that they were not only easy to miss spell but even easier to miss pronounce. Mary asked me to name some of top show dogs from the past, which I did, she then pointed out that I had not named one dog with a name that was even slightly difficult to pronounce. So after having a re think we came up with “Trades and Professions” as The Rott is of course a “working dog”!!!!!
Well that’s the introductions over with, now come and meet the gang and we hope you enjoy your visit. |
