"Something old, Something new, Something borrowed, Something brown."
I have dreamed of making this combination since I first saw the very first announcement of Tittas litter being planned. There will be something old, something new, something borrowed and something very brown.
This combination will be line-breeding of Patus sire Woody (Fynder Freethinker); one of the greatest characters and the most winning dog in the history of the breed in three different continents. This pedigree will also go all the way back to the litter sister (Bevelrock's Slany) of my very own CH & WINNER Bevelrock's Synan aka Denny. It also includes our lovely bitch Zanfi the Road Song aka Hilli and several other very familiar dogs. This pedigree will definitely highlight the longevity factor; Patu being nearly 12 years, her dam Manta already reached the milestone of 14 years, Hilli lived over 11 years and dogs from Bevelrock's litter 11- 13 years; our Denny nearly 13 years.
This combination will cherish the right breed type with long low set of ears, barrel shape bodies, proper toplines, right coat texture with tight curls and color, correct tail carriage and true Irish Water Spaniel movement.
This pedigree have many famous US and UK lines including Fynder, Mallyree, Poole’s Ide, Co-R’s, etc.
I am so excited about this combination!

Patu is at the moment nearly 12 years old gentleman with the greatest temperament of all. He is one of the most winning Finnish bred IWS in the history of the breed in Finland. He has stunning barrel shaped body with lovely proportions, steady topline and great bone. He has strong masculine head with lovely almond shaped dark eyes and very long low attached ears. He still at the age of nearly 12 has full dark coat covered with tight ringlets all around. He moves with great reach and drive and with proper rolling. Patu has showed his talent also in field and is Finnish Tracking Champion.
Patu already has one litter in Finland. His daughter and son are also both multi champions / winners and Specialty Best in Show winners. His son like himself is also Finnish Tracking Champion with three consecutive tests in one season and daughter just started with Open Class 1st. This shows three generations of Catankas competing in Winners Class as Patu's dam Manta also achieved the Winners level.
Patu's sire Fynder Freethinker aka Woody, bred by Pepi Barrington, UK, represents the picture of true Irish Water Spaniel. Woody had an impressive show career in UK, Scandinavia and finally in US. He can be found behind the most successful field and show dogs around the world and in several continents. Woody had lovely sweet temperament combined with breath taking appearance that you will never forget!

Titta is a beautiful, self-sufficient and smart lady with great character and charisma. She has a very classical elegant outline. She also has one of the best coats and color that I have ever seen. Her angulation is balanced; she has a great topline, lovely body and low hocks. She moves with great reach and drive with her head carried in the proper position. She has lovely tail set and carriage. As was written in one of her critiques, "She is a premium package that is rarely seen in this breed." She is already an International Champion and a Champion in several countries. She is also Specialty bitch winner and BOB winner at our Main Specialty. She completed her tracking champion title with straight 1st prize results from the 5 required tests and has now scored 12 straight 1st prize results in a row.
Titta's sire, Harley, is from Marion Hopkins' very last Mallyree litter. Mallyree dogs are very famous for their excellent thick, tight, curly coats, correct small dark eyes and great, elegant outlines. Harley is a stunning male with a lovely outline. He has handsome head, long neck and great topline. He, like all Mallyree dogs, has lovely thick dense coat with a lot of curls. He moves with great long stride. He is just beginning to explore his abilities in the field.
Titta's dam, Jezebel, is the result of collaboration between Florence Blecher, Kennel Hooligan, and Colleen McDaniel, Kennel Whistlestop. On her dam's side, Jezebel goes back to Florence's beautiful foundation bitch Fi, daughter of the Co-R's O'Blue Max line's important dog, Golly, Co-R's Galway Bay O'Blu Max. Golly also appears on Jezzy's sire's side behind Australian Supreme Ch Whistlestop Special agent, aka Gibbs. Her pedigree is a balanced mix of handsome dogs from Currabell, Fynder, Cuboglach, Poole's Ide and Mallyree going back to Westminster BIS Ch. Oaktree's Irishtocrat aka Dugan. While Jezzy is has lovely conformation, very good coat and a stunning head, her passion is for fieldwork, where she continues to excel.
Titta already has one litter of 11 born April 2015. Puppies from that litter have already won CCs at their first official shows in Finland, Denmark, Italy, Sweden, Estonia, USA and Australia.
