He was born in one of Momma Ella’s traditional litters of 8 – of 4 boys and 4 girls.  And he was a standout pup, as were his brother, Alex, and his sisters, Skye and Susie.  All keepers, the 4 found great places to live with people to exhibit the type and the style his Mom became know for producing.  He is pictured here at 8 weeks with brother Alex, Kiara Mis-Tee’s Boston Blackie.

Kermit’s temperament was always and forever unmatched!  He had a gentle calmness with which he greeted the whole world.  When he was nearly 6, a new baby was ushered into his world and he took on a new job and lie in guard under the crib. 

Besides that wonderful temperament, Kermit was blessed with many other stellar characteristics.  The total package brought him much attention.  Not just in the show ring from judges, but from the many competitors and fellow breeders watching who sought out the many desirable traits this TT possessed.  There wasn’t ever enough praise.  “Gorgeous coat!”  “Beautiful head!”  “Remarkably square!”  “Sound structure!”  “Effortless movement!”  Kermit had it all: and many wanted to capitalize on his fine breeding.

Little Sophie breaks the tie of titled get Kermit had with his brother Snoopy.

Although Kermit did not live here, he was exhibited long enough to establish a great record.  In 1993 he was one of the sons that helped bring his mom, Ella, best brood bitch at the TTCA National Specialty in Virginia.  He is pictured here with his handler Elizabeth Valovic, his mom to the left and brothers, Snoopy and Gundy, to the right.  That same day exhibited as a special, even though not in great coat, Kermit took an Award of Merit.  It was to date – and possibly still is – the largest recorded entry of TTs at one of our Specialties: a real honor for this terrific Tibetan Terrier.
