History-owned by AJ Hazlett since pup.
Riana Tumby- Tumby has that extra quality we are looking for in our stud sires. This has been passed down from his sire Driftwood Clyde and grandsire Riana Cash. Tumby when working can switch on the concentration, power and footwork to handle any stock job required. As with Clyde and Cash, Tumby has the ability to release the pressure when required. This helps the stock to relax and allows the dog to have control of them.
Tumby is a very good thinking dog with an excellent cast. He is easy to redirect and recast. Works well on cattle and will nose bite if needed. He has the strength to stop the lead beast and then get off to cover the whole mob.
Tumby has from limited opportunity, sired some excellent quality progeny from Riana Sady. The bitches from this mating are Riana; Emma, Trudee, Kyp, Lyddy, Fable, Trend, Georgie , Swift, Jive, etc. Plus males like Riana Raddle from the first litter , Dinkum from the second litter, Logan and Tally from the last litter.
Every litter by Tumby ex Sady has produced the highest quality progeny with excellent working ability. Rarely do you see such consistency and quality in so many litters, from the same mating.Tumby has no bitches we can mate with him at present as they are either by him or too closely related for the mating to be worth while. We hope that with the use of suitable outcross, we have bitches to mate him to in the future.
Progeny-Left an outstanding group of progeny from a number of litters ex Riana Sady. Every litter from Sady has been very consistant and of the highest quality and working ability.
Sire
Driftwood Clyde-A dog with everything going for him. A high quality animal with enormous potential. All the same power & movement of his sire Riana Cash. A very good sire. From Riana Bula left Riana Battle, Tumby, Bronte, Wilba, Cole, etc.
Dam
Riana Bula-top quality working bitch. Strong temperament and constitution. Wide castwith good outrun. Breeding high quality progeny. Has the distinctive Riana way of working her stock. Showing the good thinking and clean casting ability of our strain of Kelpies. The ability to develop an excellent cast is a result of strong selection and culling for working ability placed on the Riana Kelpies right from a young age. Our policy of mating the best workers has developed the prepotency in breeding that we have such a reputation for around the world.
Progeny- Riana Cap from her first litter(by Riana Nap), then a litter by Driftwood Clyde. From which came Riana Battle (sold to USA for US$8000) Tumby, Bronte and Delta Dawn. Later litters produced Riana Bligh, Puddle, Cole, Wilbur, Sweeney, Hondo, Talley II, Jive and Logan etc.
