*Mr Diego (Jacob) - Dog Challenge and RUBOB at the Royal Queensland Show 2023* HOSHIAHNA Miniature Schnauzer Kennel is home to “Mr Diego” - CH Repitition’s Lord Of The Rings, bred by Kurt Garmaker and Andy Tsieh from the prestigious Repitition Kennel, AKC (https://repititionminiatureschnauzers.com/).Diego is available at stud to approved bitches with full-breed DNA profile and from active show homes. Diego is the son of Am Gr CH Repitition’s Hard Knock Life, who is from a bloodline of the breed’s "top producers". The top three stud dogs of all time for the breed are: CH Regency’s Twist of Fate, CH. Rampage’s Representative, and CH Repitition’s Cornerstone – each with 91, 88, and 81 champion progenies, respectively. "Representative" is the father of "Cornerstone", and Cornerstone is the great grandfather of Diego, who himself holds an Australian and European title, as handled by Villy Mazelis (Neringa Kennels, Australia) and Jelena Kazak Nicolic (House Kazak, Serbia). So far, Diego has only sired a limited number of litters. His main-registered progenies are just starting to be seen in dog shows around the country and are doing well. One of his sons, Badger (CH Egoist Stormfront Shazam I Am), owned and handled by Chelsea Jeffries (CSHAYE Kennels) gained his champion title at six months of age and in six weekends of campaign, winning multiple best of breed and minor/puppy in group under tough competitions. Another offspring, Syrus (CH Neringa Spektakular), bred and handled by Villy Mazelis obtained his champion title within five weekends, setting the bar even higher. In just over one and a half years from coming to Australia, Diego has already sired several champion progenies (List below) in Australia, and more on their way, proving that he too is a "producer" of top quality individuals, like his ancestors.
