Welcome to the world of Kutani!
Since coming in to the world of Lhasas I have made friends all over the world and seen my dogs go on to great things all around the globe.
So I have started this blog to reach everyone. To show you my dogs and to tell you about my history of showing and breeding.
I bred my first litter in 1987 after sucessfully showing
Eng Ch Parlu Red Baron to his title, bred by Philippa Luiz.
In this litter was
Kutani New Yorker who was sold to Australia after gaining 2CC's in England. He went on to become an Australian Champion.
In 1988 came the litter that changed my life.I mated
Parlu Just Jessica to
Norweigan CH Tanac's Golden Glower at Saxonsprings who produced
Eng Ch Kutani Cincinnatti who won 18CCs, including
Best In Show at the Scottish Kennel Club All Breeds Championship show in 1992 under judge Rainier Vournien.
Not able to have puppies herself, her litter sister
Kutani Tellahassee, was the basis for all future litters.
Her daughter
Kutani Mississippi (gold/white parti)produced
Ch/Aust Ch/ Kutani Dare to Dream and
Ch/Ir Ch Kutani Soldier Soldier, both gold/white parti's, in consecutive litters from different sires.
Ch Parlu Red Baron mated to
Parlu Just Jessica produced the lovley cream male
Eng Ch Kutani Rainmaker, owned and handled by Carol Hill
. Also from this litter there were 2 Swedish champions and an Australian Grand Champion.
The next champion
Kutani Soldier Soldier won 16CCs and many group placings including Group 1 at LKA 1999. A stunning gold and white male he certainly passed on his style and arrogance to his progeny!
His daughter is the truly stunning Ch
Kiss Kiss Kutani (gold/white parti) she is a combination of
Ch Kutani Dare to Dream and
Ch Kutani Soldier Soldier.
In 2000 came the most exciting gold dog I had ever bred, Reckless (JK), or to give him his full titles
UKCh/Am Ch/Dk Ch/Finn Ch/Sw Ch/Norw Ch/Est Ch Kutani Reckless.
Not shown until a junior, he took Res CC at his first champ show. He ended his UK career with Res BIS at Peterborough All Breeds Championship Show under Valerie Foss.
Juha Karis, visiting from Finland, fell in love with JK's style and showmanship, so JK went to stay with Juha and has produced the most amazing dogs for him, including the all time multi titled dog
Chic Choix Sky's The Limit.
Coming up to date JK produced the litter mates
Kutani Sunkissed (Storm) and the beautiful gold/white parti dog,
Ch Kutani Rogue Trader. Trader was my soul mate, dying far too young last year, robbing the breed of a significant sire. His progeny will tell his story.
Kutani Secret Agent (James), a Trader son, now flies the flag for Kutani in the UK.
Kutani has flourished producing Champions all over the World including an Australian Grand Champion.
THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT, THE FUTURE IS KUTANI
