Tiffany and Dillan were our first two show dogs and ultimately our first two AKC champions.  They were also the origin of our kennel name, combining their names to form T-Lan.  From that beginning T-Lan Miniature Schnauzers has bred 15 AKC champions with several more promising youngsters waiting in the wings.

"Dillan"
Ch. Foxfire's King Dillanger Be
Ch. Lee Jax Yeoman of the Guard x Ch. Repitition's Queen Be
1985 - 1999
 
Our first mini, first AKC champion, and first in our heart.  Dillan had a charisma that drew the eye and kept you looking.  He was a wonderful, robust dog with a phenomenal head, correct color, and very wiry coat texture.  Dillan was a stallion of a dog that hooked us on miniature schnauzers for life.

"Tiffany"
Ch. Foxfire's Take 'Em By Storm
Ch. Rampage's Express Mail x Ch. Repitition's Better Days
1986 - 2002
 
A top producer with 4 champion get and the foundation for our kennel.  Tiffany was a 12-1/4" dynamo and had the distinction of being the smallest dog Carol Garmaker ever finished.  She was also one of Carol's personal favorites and was a bed buddy while at "Show Camp."  She ruled the household her entire life.  Big dogs, little dogs, it never mattered to her.  Despite being small in stature...she was mighty in attitude.  The epitome of a miniature schnauzer and the standard for all of our dogs to meet.

"Tony"
Ch. Foxfire's He's the Only One
Ch. Foxfire's King Dillanger Be x Ch. Foxfire's Take 'Em By Storm
1989 - 2000
 
Tony's registered name came from the fact that he was the only puppy left in our very first litter of minis.  He also was destined to be our first home-bred champion, Tiffany's first champion, and the first champion we finished completely owner-handled.  Tony was a silly, comical, wonderful dog who was an outstanding ambassador for the breed.  He never met a stranger and is dearly missed.  To this date, he still remains one of our favorite dogs of all time.

"Sumi"
Ch. T-Lan's I'm Awesome So Su-Mi
Ch. Rampage's Representative x Ch. Foxfire's Take 'Em By Storm
1990 - 2006
 
Sumi was a top producer with three AKC champion offspring, as well as being Tiffany's fourth and final champion.  Carol Garmaker was able to bring out the best in this elegant girl.  On the way to her championship she picked up back-to-back 5 point majors in tough competition at the Heart of America shows.  She lived out her golden years with some very good friends of ours and one of her daughters for company.  She is greatly missed by us all.

"Ryder"
Ch. T-Lan's Storm Ryder
Foxfire's Blue Sabre x Ch. Foxfire's Take 'Em By Storm
1992 - 2005
 
Ryder was a fun-loving, ball-chasing boy.  Ryder was a wonderful dog to live with.  His favorite position was flat on his back on my lap so so he was comfy watching TV.  He has one champion offspring (Juri).

"Beth"
Ch. T-Lan's Storm's A Comin'
Foxfire's Blue Sabre x Ch. Foxfire's Take 'Em By Storm
Born 1992 - 2006
 
Beth was the ultimate show dog.  She loved nothing more than to strut her stuff around the ring.  Tragically, soon after finishing her championship she was struck by pyometria.  We managed to save her life, but she had to be spayed to do it.  She was placed with a great family and lived out her life as their beloved pet.

"Adam"
Ch. T-Lan's Black Platinum
Foxfire's Blue Sabre x T-Lan's Awesome To A T
1992 - 2001
 
A beautiful, bold dog with an unbelievable temperament, he won over everyone that met him.  His owner, Kathy Dodge, contracted Carol Garmaker (Repitition Kennel) to finish his AKC championship, which was accomplished with 4 majors on the tough Florida circuit.  Adam was Kathy's first conformation champion.

"Ruby"
Ch. T-Lan's Jewel Thief
Ch. Ruedesheim's Capitalist x Ch. T-Lan's I'm Awesome So Su-Mi
Born 1993
 
Ruby had several nice wins in tough competition while earning her championship.  She always had a great time in the ring with a sparkly ring presence that demanded she be noticed.  She's now living the retired life with a loving family.

"Juri"
Ch. T-Lan's Tsunami
Ch. T-Lan's Storm Ryder x Ch. T-Lan's I'm Awesome So Su-Mi
Born 1996
 
Juri is a female carbon copy of her dad, Ryder.  She has three champion offspring, making her a top producer.  She finished in grand style at the Cactus State Miniature Schnauzer Specialty handled by Carla Nickerson.  Juri has phenomenal wiry coat texture that she consistently passed on to her puppies.

"Biz"
Ch. T-Lan's No Biz Like Show Biz
Ch. Awesome's Pop Quiz x Ch. T-Lan's I'm Awesome So Su-Mi
Born 1997
 
Known for his phenomenal head, hard coat, and copious furnishings, Biz is owned and loved by Tammy Miller-Davison.  He was her first show dog and first AKC champion.  He now enjoys the retired life as her well-loved pet.

"Colt"
Ch. T-Lan's Make My Day
Ch. Elete's Robson x Ch. T-Lan's Jewel Thief
Born 2000
 
Colt took a major his first time in the ring at 7 months old.  He finished at 11 months of age in just 6 weekends of showing.  He accumulated several BOB wins, a Best of Opposite in Sweeps, and two Group placements from the classes.  Colt passed on his outstanding shoulders, outgoing temperament, and exceptional coat to his offspring.

"Erin"
Ch. T-Lan's Windsong
Ch. Repitition's Cornerstone x Ch. T-Lan's Tsunami
Born 2001
 
Erin was a natural show girl who demanded the judges' attention and drew the eye.  She won points every weekend she was shown and took several BOB from the classes, as well as a Best Puppy in Sweeps.   Erin is passing on her beautiful head, smooth shoulders, and "schnauzery" look to her offspring. She currently has two AKC champion offspring, with a number still to be shown.  Look for her kids in the ring.

"Sugar"
Ch. T-Lan's A Change in the Wind 
Ch. Repitition's Cornerstone x Ch. T-Lan's Tsunami
Born 2001
 
Sugar is a very special girl to us.  She truly is one in a million.  She showed like a little star and always gave her all in everything she did.  Sugar picked up the majority of her points on the tough Florida circuit under the expert handling of Kurt Garmaker, and then we finished her in style with a Specialty Club win.  Sugar had one exceptional puppy that will be hitting the show ring in 2007. 

"Justin"
Ch. T-Lan's Just In Time
Ch. Repitition's Dark Prince x Ch. T-Lan's Tsunami
Born 2003
 
Co-owned and Loved by Tammy Miller-Davison.  Justin won one of his majors at a Specialty show and the other on a Specialty show weekend.  Both in tough competition.  He was shown to his championship owner-handled by Tammy and is her second T-Lan champion.  Way to go Justin and Tammy, we're so proud of you both!

"Clark"

Ch. T-Lan's Carmel Superman

Ch. Hi-Line's Carmel With a Twist x Ch. T-Lan's Windsong

Born May 2006

 

Clark is a stylish young man with his parents' beautiful head, solid topline, and ground-eating movement.  Clark has tons of ring presence, demanding that you notice him.  He made his ring debut in January at the Buckeye, AZ, shows and never looked back from there.  Following in his dam's paw prints, Clark won points every single weekend he was shown, never going home empty-handed.  On the way to his championship he was Best of Breed from the Bred-By class over several nice Specials and was Winners Dog and Best of Winners at the Centennial State Miniature Schnauzer Club Specialty show.

Ch. Elete's Beaujolais x Ch. T-Lan's Windsong

Lyric is a beautiful, free-moving girl.  She's got a strong front, is a very sound mover, and an exceptionally correct head.  She was Reserve Winners at the Centennial State Miniature Schnauzer Club Specialty on June 1st and picked up her second major the following day, beating some of the top winning kennels to do it.  She finished her championship with the help of her good friend Carma Ewer (Carmel Miniature Schnauzers) with a Best of Winners over a nicely competitive field.
