Slaboda’s Yokohama Ninja

Slåboda’s Yokohama Ninja S19372/89	Shiromi’s Funpatzu S29733/80
	Skjellåsen’s Tootsie N10267/83

Slåboda’s Yokohama Ninja was imported from Sweden to Australia by SZIADA Kennel. He became an Australian Champion and contributed to the foundation of local lines.

In  1993, he sired two known litters:

• With Schlama Sno Yoshe, producing a female: Sziada Milady Lucy , who went on to become an Australian Champion 
• With Kerislie Okimona, producing male  Foxlea Silva Crystal, who went on to become a New Zealand Champion

Ninja brought Scandinavian bloodlines into early Australian and New Zealand breeding efforts, leaving a modest but meaningful legacy

The difference between Slåboda’s Yokohama Ninja and Slaboda’s Yokohama Ninja shows a common issue in international pedigrees. This issue involves the adaptation or simplification of kennel names due to language or character limitations.

• Slåboda is the original Swedish kennel name, with the letter å being a standard character in the Swedish alphabet.
• In many international databases or English-speaking countries, special characters like å, ä, ö, é are often dropped. This happens due to system limitations or typing convenience. So Slåboda becomes Slaboda.

This leads to:

• Slåboda’s Yokohama Ninja = correct in national (Swedish) records.
• Slaboda’s Yokohama Ninja = version commonly seen in exports, printed catalogues, or when registered abroad (e.g. in Australia or New Zealand).

While the name variation might look like a typo, both refer to the same dog. For historical and pedigree accuracy, it’s always helpful to note the original spelling where possible.
