Information
My Thai Bangkaew Journey
It all began in 2012 while I was still living in the UK. Three years after losing our previous dog, I rescued a dog from Thailand’s dog meat trade. I named her **Chaya (“Life”)**, and she ignited my passion for the **Thai Bangkaew breed**. I started importing and researching foundation dogs to develop the breed in Europe responsibly. My first foundation bitch, **Star (Imp. Thailand)**, became the cornerstone of my breeding program, producing multiple champions including **Multi Ch. Roy Hill White Lily, JW’16, World Winner ‘22**, and her siblings, many of whom have excelled in Europe and beyond. I introduced my first foundation male, **Graffiti (Imp. Thailand)**, son of renowned Thai champions. Graffiti helped consolidate the bloodlines and passed on his **true Bangkaew character** to his progeny. Although he tragically passed in 2021, his legacy lives on in his children and grandchildren, many of whom are multi-champions and World Winners across Europe. My second foundation bitch, **Honey (Imp. Thailand)**, has continued this success, producing World Winners, European Winners, and breed history makers like **Roy Hill Thai Tiger, EUW'24'25, WW’24'25**, and **Roy Hill Wild Honey**, a multi-champion exported to Finland. I am deeply grateful to the breeders who entrusted me with these foundations and to the families who love my puppies. Together, we build on solid foundations to continue improving the breed. I breed **only occasionally**, and every puppy is raised as part of the family. To join the **waiting list**, please tell me about yourself and your plans for your puppy, whether as a companion, show, breeding, or sports dog. 🌿 Follow us on **Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok** for photos, news, and videos of our Thai Bangkaew family.

D.O.B: 02-01-2018. HD:A. ECVO: Eyes Clear. Honey resides in the Netherlands, and Norway
After a long search for a second foundation bitch it was found in the then 6-month-old pup Honey; she stayed in Thailand to be shown and complete her Thai Championship title and to be old enough to breed with the 1# male in Thailand, the famous Peet Lanna. I returned to Thailand in Nov'19 to pick her up in whelp, and she produced her 1st stunning litter of 5. This had my World Winner'21 & European Winner'22, Dutch Ch. Splash, her daughter Blue, is close to completing her Dutch Ch. title, and her gorgeous son King is waiting in the wings to be shown. Honey, her 2nd litter, sired by Ink, produced the French Ch. Roy Hill Ring Master and Junior World Winner & BOB '21. Czech Ch. Roy Hill Splash Of Honey, her 3rd litter, sired by Tai, are now adults, having won multiple Champion, World Winner, and European Winner titles; BISS wins in junior. They already won multiple Junior Champion titles, Best Baby in Show placements, and an adult group placement. Honey is line-bred to the famous Triple World Winner MBIS/MBISS/Thai Grand/Swiss/Fin/Rus Ch. Mitrapab Hero. She has done me proud in and out of the whelping box. Honey will be back in the show ring when her coat returns. Honey resides on co-ownership with Toini in Norway for showing and, hopefully, returning in whelp to Lucky for her last litter due 1st Sept, 2025, after which she will be retired from breeding.

New litter born Sept 6, 2025. Honey had a beautiful litter of 3 boys. 1 is available for reservation
Honey gave birth this weekend to 3 lovely boys. I’m beyond delighted with an 18-hour whelping pause after the second boy was born. It was a nervous wait, because the scan showed 3 pups, but following the vet's advice not to intervene and to give her 24 hours. I fully expected it to be born dead, but Honey did it. 3 strong boys 😍 This is her retirement litter.
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Chaya
Our adopted dog meat trade rescue
Our adopted girl ( Thai Bangkaew Dog ), now named Chaya, meaning'' Life (Force), was rescued from Thailand's illegal Dog Meat Trade on May 19th, 2012. It is thanks to Chaya that my soul breed found me. I had never heard of the breed before, and we didn't know at the time that it was a Thai breed still in development. Sadly, saving every dog in the world is impossible, so I decided to do something for the breed instead and work on their development in her honour. The rest is history. Chaya had a wonderful life after her horrific traumatic experiences and was a special dog in our lives. She was loved very much by everyone that met her.
BBISS/Thai/Dutch/Rom/It/HR Ch. Mitrapab Chiangmai's Graffiti, EUJW'14, JW'14, W'14, Zagreb W'17 (Imp. Thailand) (Graffiti)
Our Foundation stud
I hadn't intended to buy a male, but with a lack of males available in Europe, I started searching for one and placed myself on the waiting list for a combination I liked. My dear boy, Graffiti, born in October 2013, is a son of BISS/Thai Ch. Chiangmai's TBK's Funnoi, his dam is the sibling to the famous MBIS/MBISS/EUW'13/Tripple WW & First Thai Grand Ch. Mitrapab Hero. Graffiti also stayed in Thailand with my handler and a dearly trusted friend, Sagulchai Thanadka, to complete his Thai Ch title. He made me proud by winning Best In Show Specialty Baby. Graffiti has only sired three litters in his lifetime, the first Bangkaew litter born in the Czech Republic and two out of Star; sadly, Graffiti died in 2021 after a tragedy he never fully recovered. Thankfully, he left his legacy in his kids and grandkids, keeping the flag flying, passing on his super true Bangkaew character, winning World Winner titles and multiple Champions in the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, the Czech Republic, France and the UK. Thank you, dear Graffiti, for being in our lives—you are one of those special, once-in-a-lifetime dogs.

How it began
"Bang Kaew dog breed" has been known for a long time by dog lovers in Thailand. history of origin The study, published in the Veterinary Journal of Kasetsart University, states that most of the information is anecdotal from the current generation. The first ancestors of the Bang Kaew breed of Thai dogs. Born around 1862 and is a cross between a Thai domestic dog and a wild dog or dhole raised by the former abbot of Wat Bang Kaew. However, the Bangkaew dog has been the pet of the villagers of Ban Bang Kaew and nearby sub-districts. Officials of the Department of Livestock Development decided to develop and select species and exhibited them outside the community until Bang Kaew Dog is known to the outside world.
