Crufts

 

Just one month to go until  Crufts

 

So looking forward to judging the Lhasas.

 

I wish you all an enjoyable day.


 

 

 



Grand Champion

 

Kutani is delighted to announce that

Ch & Aust Ch Kutani Secret Agent

now carries the title of Australian Grand Champion

 

James has really taken to the way of life 'down under'

he has sparkled and shone in the sunshine.

So proud of our boy, and of Nina for steering him to this super title.

Thanks go to Belinda and Nina of Zaland Lhasa Apsos.

 

 

 

 

 



Sour Grapes

Deita takes BOB and Group 2 at Manchester

This girl is such a star and has star quality.

Thank goodness Colin had the foresight to do the mating that produced a lovely litter.
Breed judge Jan Bromley
Group judge Geoff Corish

 

In every breed there are always those that don't accept a win for what it is, a quality dog winning.  There are always the moaners and small minded people who can't 'see it'

Sometimes these people don't have the courage to say what they are thinking themselves, they get someone else to do their 'dirty work' for them. To these people I say 'get a life, or get yourself a good dog so that you can compete with the best'

 

The test of a good judge is not the number of entries they pull in, but the quality of the dogs in that entry. What is the point of a huge entry if the quality is low.  Better to have a few excellent dogs to judge than to have hundreds of poor examples.

 

 

The future

 

 

 

 

 

 



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.

Trader's beautiful daughter died tragically yesterday.

Our thoughts are with Jacqui and David Chalmers who are devastated.

 

She was a typical Lhasa, beautiful and stubborn.

To know here was to love her.

 

Her legacy will be the babies she has left behind.

 

 



2012

 

 

2012 proved an outstanding for Kutani



 

Ch Kutani Lightning Strike (Noah)  - Top Lhasa

Ch Tantra's Plenty O'Toole Isa Kutani (Deita) -  Top Bitch Lhasa

Ch Kutani Rogue Trader -  Top Sire Lhasa

 

Noah and Deita were made champions in this year.

Trader Top Sire for the 4th time running and this gorgeous boy died 4yrs ago before his 5th birthday.

 

Noah has had a Group 1, G2, G3 and 2 G4s

Deita ended the year with a G2 and she is not yet 2yrs old.

 

I can only say a heartfelt 'thank you' to all the judges that have helped make this possible. 
I am truly over the moon.

 

Our next generation is waiting in the wings

Hopefully they will maintain this amazing standard.

 

 

 

New Year

 

 

Wishing everyone a very

HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

Remember, the road to success is dedication.

 

 

 



Merry Christmas

Dream Team

 

 



What an amazing year 2012 has been for Kutani

taking 14 CCs in total.

Noah 9 CCs 6 Res CCs

Deita 5 CCs and 5 Res CCs

We have had a Group 1,  2 Group 2s,  1 Group 3  and  2 Group 4s.

Noah (Ch Kutani Lightning Strike) is just 3yrs old and Deita will be 2yrs old in January.

 

Thank you to all the judges for making this possible and thank you for your confidence in putting up such a young bitch. She is a star turn and her best is yet to come.

 

We have two exciting pups waiting in the wings, untrained and unschooled, the usual Kutani way!

Oscar (Kutani Skyfall) and his sister Kitty (Kutani Pussy Kat).

Their father is Noah, so they have a lot to live up to.

 

See you at next year's show.
