The Tanjo English Springer Spaniel Kennels were established in 1982, in South Africa. Tanjo was the first Kennel Union of Southern Africa (KUSA) accredited English Springer Spaniel kennel in South Africa. The kennel is owned by Joan Whittingham.
After showing numerous locally bred dogs we decided to import. Our first import in 1991 was from Australia, Ch Wongan Moody Blue at Tanjo (Benjamin), a liver, white and tan boy. Our first USA import in 1994 was Ch Salilyn’s Sheer Magic (Zillah). She was the top ESS in South Africa for 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999. She was also the top bitch for 2000. She was in the top 100 dogs in South Africa for 1997, 1998 and 1999. She was bred by the late Julia Gasow in the USA and was sired by Ch Salilyn's Condor ex Ch Salilyn's High Regard. She was a full litter sister to Ch Salilyn N Erin's Shameless (Samantha), top Sporting Dog in the USA for 1998 and 1999. Samantha and Zillah's sire won BIS at Westminster Kennel Club in 1992 and Samantha won BIS at Westminster Kennel Club in 2000.
Zillah was joined by Ch The Talking Eyes Big Shot at Tanjo (Zak) in 1998. He was bred by Boris Pegan in the USA, and was sired by Ch Salilyn's Cyclone ex Ch Sieger's Charlotte Hornets. He was the top Springer on the KUSA ratings for 2000.
Ch Dansen's Sincerely at Tanjo (Ocho) our first black and white Springer arrived in 2005. Ocho was bred by Dr Danny Sena in Dallas, Texas. Ocho was the top Springer for 2006 and 2007, and was awarded the KUSA 2007 and 2008 National Springer title.
We kept a black and white male pup from the first Leila/Casino litter, Tanjo Jedi Knight, Luke. Luke is PRA and PFK normal (clear). Luke is now a breed champion.
From the Leila/Casino second litter we have kept a liver and white female, Tanjo Keepsake (Jessica). Jessica is also PRA, PFK and Fucosidosis normal (clear). Jessica is now a breed champion! Way to go, Jessica!
From the Milly/Casino litter we have kept a black and white female, Tanjo Obsession, (Pearl).
