LAC Champ Show

 

Where to begin?

We had such a fabulous day.

Oscar (Skyfall) won his junior class

 

 

I find this boy's balance stunning.

He is a handful to show but worth the every minute

 

 

 

Then Jill Lock wins the open dog class and the dog CC with Gino

 

 

And the icing on the cake

I took Tia Maria, my big secret, into the open bitch class which was so heavily contested.

Not only did she win the class, she then went on to take the CC and best of all, BEST IN SHOW

 

 

 

 

Our judge was breed specialist Gill Holland (Vaderlands)

 



 

 

 



Exciting prospect

 

 

Well our Deita is in season again.

She is to be mated to our exciting youngster Oscar (K. Skyfall)

Happy Days!

Puppy News

 

We have good news, bad news and a happy ending.

 

Ch Kutani Love Affair at Baltoro (Lizzie Lhasa)

is now mother to 6 puppies (4 girls and two boys)

This is the happy news.

 

Ch Tantra's Plenty O'Toole Isa Kutani (Deita)

didn't fair so well.  She had a difficult labour.

This is the bad news.

 

But the sun shone on us and Deita now has one baby boy to love.  He is black of course.

This is the happy ending.
 

 

 

So welcome to the world Kutani Carbon Copy aka Luther 

Our hopes are high for you.

 

 

Multi Ch Kutani Reckless

 

There was this special litter born in 2000

Jersey, Michael, Angus, Suzie and JK

It was one of those litters that you remember for all time.

From this litter a star was born, his name was JK

He had it all, but above all else he had the personality which shone through in everything he did.

He became a UK champion gaining BIS at Club Champ Shows and Res BIS at East of England Championship All Breeds Show.  The breed judge was Sarah Hattrell, the Group judge June Freeman and the BIS judge Val Foss.  He only lost out to the top winning Giant Schnauzer of the time.

After achieving everything in the UK we took the decision to let him shine abroad.  Juha Kares fell in love with this wonderful boy and so to Finland and the Chic Choix kennels he went.

So the two JKs shone together.

Reckless stamped his quality on many of the Chic Choix females and created his own dynasty in Finland.

We are forever grateful to Juha for giving JK a super retirement home.

For us he produced the super brother and sister, Kutani Rogue Trader and Kutani Sunkissed from which all the Kutani's now decend.

 

It is with a very heavy heart I tell you that JK died peacefully in his sleep this week.

Rest well JK, we and many more, will always remember you.

 



 



Colours

 

 

Lhasas come in all colours

All as beautiful as each other

 

When it comes to judging, colour is secondary.

 

I love all the colours this wonderful breed comes in,

be it black, white, gold, cream, silver, brindle, grey or a mixture of any of these, all as beautiful as each other.

B'ham Critique

By judge Albert Wight:

Noah
OD (5) Only 5 but all Champions and each in impeccable condition.
1 & Res CC Cain's Ch Kutani Lightning Strike. Almost the complete package, the right size and substance, well sprung ribs carry well back, his reach of neck and tail set and carriage add to a compelling outline then dress it all in wonderful jacket and you have an eye-catcher. His head is a delight, oozes Apso quality and charm, so well pigmented, correct mouth and never set a foot wrong either in stance or on the move. More than happy to give him runner up spot to his close relative.

Deita
LB (12,1)
1 Cain's Tantra's Plenty O Toole Isa Kutani, what a flashy little number this black and white is. Charms in spades, beautifully headed, really well bodied, fabulous coat and presentation and moved around the ring as though she owned it. Her head is so good, correct bite, super eyes and skull fairly lean. Could end up titled.
 
(Of course Deita is now already a champion but not at the time the entries closed so not shown in catalogue).
Super write ups, very very proud.

Gino
LD (10)
1 & CC Lock's Littondale Vallentino. I see is a son of Ch. Chethang Nikodemus, so he is half brother to the OD winner which won the RCC. This was a very strong class, even in quality and a joy to behold. I simply loved the head quality of this dog. His mouth and bite are spot on, the muzzle so correct, the back skull lean and slightly receding, the ears frame the face with feathering and his expression is stunning. Blessed with a good neck, really well ribbed, strongly boned legs, level backed, beautifully set and carried well furnished tail and he was the soundest moving male of the day. This was his day, he looked every inch a Champion and I was very happy to give him his first CC.

Gino is by Ch Chethang Nikodemus (a Ch Kutani Rogue Trader son)
out of Kutani Shabbie Chic.
We had a great 'Kutani family' day.  Thank you to Mr Albert Wight for appreciating all our dogs so much, and huge CONGRATULATIONS to my friends Jill & Dave Lock on their first homebred CC.

Sky's pups

After a very long and tiring night for Sky

we are happy to announce that she and her 5 babies

are doing fine.

 There are 3 girls and 2 boys



Noah & Deita

Thank you to Jill & Dave Lock for helping make this photo possible.

To get my two fidgets to stay still for this to happen is a miracle.

Noah is of course Ch Kutani Lightning Strike (Group winner)

Deita is Tantra's Plenty O'Toole Isa Kutani (2 ccs)

Summertime in my garden

Puppies expected

It was meant to be.

No sooner had we got the news that dear Kiss Kiss had died, then we had the exciting news that our Sky is in whelp.

She has been mated to Ch Kutani Lightning Strike.

Both these dogs have Kiss in their pedigrees.

Sky is a Ch/Aust Ch Kutani Secret Agent daughter

Noah is a Trader grandson

This litter will be due end of July / beginning of Aug.



The most beautiful Lhasa I have ever known, Ch Kiss Kiss Kutani, dam of Ch Kutani Rogue Trader, has died aged 13yrs. She was such a typical Lhasa, stubbord at times, but she was also a joy. Rest in peace beautiful girl ♥
