Memory Lane Xmas 2011

As Christmas is almost upon us, which in turn is followed by a brand new year, I couldn't help but think about the wonderful Lhasas that are now no longer with me.  These dogs 'made' Kutani and have given me the inspiration in the breed I now have.
This photo is of perhaps the best of them all, BIS Ch Kutani Cinncinnati (the beautiful Lauren) it is she that gave me a taste of what was to come, it is she that made me 'known' in the breed and it is she that I will always be in debt to.
She is just 2yrs old here and already a star.

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE
PEACE AND HAPPINESS FOR 2012

At KUTANI we have had a tremendous year.
Our dearest Trader ends the year as Top Stud this is for the 3rd year running.
Our Special Finnish girl Chic Choix Kutani Charisma (Karis) gains her well deserved crown and now carried the first ever UK Champion Title in Lhasas for Juha Kares (Chic Choix)
The captivating Deita, although only shown a few times, ends 2011 as Top Puppy.
Noah gains his 1st CC and 4 Res CCs.
Ch Kutani Secret Agent adds Australian Ch to his name with BIS and Res BIS and many BOBs.

In Memory

In memory of Ch Kutani Rogue Trader

3yrs ago today he died aged 4yrs 11months.

To date he has 7 UK champion offspring with others waiting in the wings

He was the love of my life and I miss him still.

Ch Chic Choix Kutani Charisma

**A special tribute to Karis**

Owned by Wendy and Jill

Her pups were not meant to be, we are so sad, and she cannot have anymore babies,

so she will stay with Jill and be much loved and adored.

Thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts to us all.
