Club Shows

There are six Lhasa Apso Clubs

LAC, MLAA, NOELAC, LAAWSW, SELAS and Scottish

Of these Joker has won Best In Show at all except SELAS (and I judged that one!)

Amazing record for this amazing dog

One Record Broken

In this weeks Our Dogs

What a proud moment

Get a Life

It has been a week from hell!

My beautiful dog and myself have been the subject of a personal, unfounded attack by a top judge in this country.  The vitriol that has emanated from not only this person but also from certain Lhasa exhibitors has been astonishing.  

I go to the shows to show my dog and enjoy the day with friends.

BUT my dog is now doing extremely well and the evil side of certain people is coming forward.

Thank goodness for friends and fellow exhibitors that know the truth and are also appalled by this behaviour.

The Kennel Club should take note, this is totally unacceptable, especially when it is now being portrayed as an innocent remark for the betterment of the breed.  RUBBISH!  This was only about one thing, and we all know it.

I am not going to back down, quite the contrary.

I hold my head high, and show my dog with pride.

Kutani Shockwave

Absolutely delighted to say Kutani Shockwave (the wonderful charismatic Jack) takes his 2nd CC at Bournemouth Championship Show under Mark James (Waterley)

What a magic day for his co owner Vicky Clutterbuck

The 3rd is not far away

Group 2

On a very humid day at Paignton Champ Show

Joker took his 39th CC + BOB under Vanessa Wegman

Then the Group judge Mr Bill Brown-Cole appreciated him that much he awarded him 2nd in the Group, to the top winning poodle 

I look exhausted, I was exhausted.  

Thank you to my fellow exhibitors who helped throughout the day.

Joker Kids

I am so proud of the offspring that Joker is producing

This is his son out of Mandy O'Doherty's beautiful bitch

Future

As well as taking the CC and winning a fabulous Champion Stakes class of over 50 dogs, Joker (Ch Sandauri ShowStopper for Kutani) is putting his unique stamp on the breed.
At Border Union his offspring won Junior Dog, MPB, Junior bitch 1st & 2nd and the icing on the cake, the junior bitch took her 2nd CC and beat her sire for BOB.
Plus two kids that already have CCs, plus Res CCs 
Not bad for a dog that is still so young.
Thank you to everyone who had faith enough to use him.
May your dreams come
