He appears both in the 'Welsh Triads' & in the medieval Arthurian Tale 'Breuddwyd Rhonabwy'. He fought alongside Arthur at the Battle of Badon as one of his chief Councillors.
- 'FAB': meaning simply 'son of'.
- 'TALIESIN': (pronounced 'Tal-YESH-in'). Meaning 'Shining Brow' is derived from the Welsh 'tal' (brow) & 'iesin' or 'essin' (shining).

Hundreds of his followers visit his grave every year.

| ☆ CAREER HIGHLIGHTS ☆
(as of 18 August 2023) |
The very handsome Windy Pops is from our first litter of Welshies & what a thrill to be blessed with such a lovely boy straight up! A 'Chip' off the old block, he is the spitting image of his sire Tally with almost identical markings, BUT the Welshie gods have also blessed him with the most perfect 'Llanharran Spot' smack bang in the centre of his 'shining brow'. He has become just as beautiful & clever as his daddy & oh what a ride he has taken us on! Out of our beautiful Muriel, he is already displaying her ever-wagging tail & insatiable curiosity. A very nosey & brave little Dragon Mittens he has turned out to be.
Bred in the purple with the most illustrious ancestors, we are filled with pride for our little Pops & feel so blessed to have him in our lives. To say we are thrilled with our homebred boy would be an understatement, and he just continues to impress. Now closing in on that elusive Supreme Champion title (despite COVID-19 slowing down his progress), he is truly the puppy all breeders dream of breeding.
