  In  The Beginning

Tryfan Bethan

 

 

     

My father, employed by Philips Electrical Industries, was working in Melbourne when our precious Collie, Princess, died.  A fellow workmate, Ken Dobson, was breeding and exhibiting Pembroke Welsh Corgis.  Mum and Dad bought a young bitch Elizron Tanya from Mr. Dobson and bought her home as a surprise for we girls. 

Tanya was transferred into the joint ownership of my older sisters, Elaine and Denise who registered the Tryfan prefix.  Eventually Tanya was bred to Ivor Snaith’s import, Champion Lees Kettledrum.  This litter produced a pretty bitch Bethan, whom I handled for my sisters.  We had a lot of fun showing Bethan, and I was well and truly bitten by the show bug.  Tanya had a second litter but none were shown.  These were the only litters bred under the Tryfan prefix.
