Chaniam Kennel imported its first three Beardies from Jenny Osborne, of Osmart Kennels, in England. Jenny is the Patron of the Bearded Collie Club in the UK and friend and mentor of Chantal Andrew, Chaniam Kennel owner.
Ch Osmart Smokey's Silver Starter at Chaniam was Chantal's first blue male and did remarkably well in the Working Group (there was no Herding Group back then). Starter, as he was known, was mated to Ch. Rodoando Culloden at Chaniam (black bitch) ('Valli') and produced 5 champions out of 7 pups.
Chantal then imported more English dogs (Ch. Banacek Golden Guinea at Chaniam, Ch. Osmart Hi Y'all I'm Copper at Chaniam, Ch. Geliland Brianna at Chaniam, and Chaniam's Best in Show Ch. Geliland Black Bawbee at ChaniamZ). Chantal also bought Starter's neice, Ch. Knightbridge E. Muffin ('Iggy').
Chantal Andrew has owned or raised more than 30 Champions with only 7 litters.
She has never bred for quantity but for quality.
Chaniam Kennel presently has 6 residing Beardies:
Ch. Chaniam Tarbh
Ch. Chaniam Milis II
Ch. Chaniam Barcleigh Blue
Chaniam's Bedlam's Easaid ('Sedge')
Geliland Tiara at Chaniam
Osmart Best Foot Forward at Chaniam ('Strider')

Bawbee and Iggy were mated to produce Tarbh, and he in turn, is the sire of Sedge, who had a litter of pups over a year ago. Most of the puppy pictures are of that litter as Chaniam Kennel has not had a litter for 10 years. Prior to that, digital cameras were not around. If they were, they had to be too expensive.

Chaniam Kennels best fairing home bred was Miney - American and Canadian Champion Chaniam Happy Hogmanay. He amassed 43 group ones (and many more group placements) but never won the elusive Best in Show title.
