handled and with a professional handler.

Ronnie, our stunning party colored Lhasa. He is Champion
sired and now pointed. Way to go Ronnie.

Shows we are attending:

October 11th and 12th Boulder City, NV
October 25th and 26th Perris Lake, CA
November 1st and 2nd Irwindale, Ca

We will list more as we enter. All of these shows we will be
attending however our dogs maybe shown by hired handlers.

Watch 2009!!!! That will be our year. We just have a feeling. We
are hoping to have 4 or 5 in the ring. Watch for Atiya's and Lilly's
brood to make their debut starting late 2008 or early 2009. Babies
we keep will be shown up and down the West Coast.

Fingers crossed to our friends (you know who you are) who are
currently in the ring all over the country!! We wish you all the luck
in the world, we know you will do well.

A special thanks to all our wonderful friends in the business for all
your help and encouragement. Without support, knowledge, and
help from other breeders and show families we could not have made
it this far nor could we continue. It has always been our families
dream to spend our free time exhibiting our dogs. Watch for my
daughter Breanna as well. She will make her debut in Junior handler
in 2008 at age 10. Breanna will probably debut with her Lhasa Apso
fav's. Thank you to Mary and Breeder/Judge Johnnie Mashcoff for
your jump start to her new hobby.

Remember, most of what you hear is envy not hate!!!

Those who know they are good don't need to talk about others to
feel better!!

Those who have no life need to be involved in everyone else's!

Even the accomplished had to start at the beginning.

The Unwritten Rules of Dog Showing

01.....After trying forever to obtain that elusive second major, you have no problem getting the third major the next day.

02.....The novice people that enter every show and always show up even if the breed judging is at 8 am and the show
is a six hour drive will not show up when the count is exactly a major. Or if they do, the dog that finished yesterday will
be moved up and break the major anyway.

03.....If you attempt to build a major, one of the extras will win, never the dog the major was worked around.

04.....The day you don't take an umbrella or raincoat to the show because the weather is beautiful at your house, is the
day it is raining (or snowing) at the outdoor show site.

05.....Although all dog shows have lots of vendors, the day you forget the tack box is the day there are NO vendors
on the premises selling show leads.

06.....If you go to the trouble of checking out of the hotel before leaving for the show, you will not win the breed. If
you don't check out, you will win the breed, and there will be no time to do so before groups.

07.....Your national will always be scheduled so that you are forced to move your immature puppy up, by just a few
days.

08.....Your dog will decide to completely blow coat just after entries close for the national, which you have already
committed major bucks to attend.

09.....If you are showing dogs in two different breeds that have the same judge, it is inevitable that one breed will be
the first one in at 8:00 am, and the other will be the last one of the day at 2:30 p.m.

10.....The day you say, "If Rover doesn't win today, this will be his last show and I'm putting him in a pet home" will be
the day he wins a four point major. (After which, of course, the waiting list of pet homes disappears and he never gets
another point.)

11.....And of course we all know about the puppy we sold as a pet with a spay/neuter contract. And his litter-mate
that we kept as a show prospect.

12.....If your dog does better behind other dogs, you will draw the first place number and the judge will insist on
catalog order.

13.....If your dog does better at the front of the line, the judge will allow you to line up in any order and someone will
beat you to the first spot.

14.....If the judge is requiring the dogs to be shown in catalog order, your male special will be sandwiched in between
two bitches in full standing season. If you are showing a bitch special in season, she will be the only girl in a ring full of
attractive males. (And if you decide to leave your special home because he or she has gone boy/girl crazy, none of the
other specials entered will show up.)

15.....The judge you didn't enter under because he/she hates your dog will draw an overload and your breed will be
given to a judge who loves your dog.

16.....Whenever a premium list includes a group judge that loves your special the breed judge will be the one who told
you to neuter it and put it in a pet home. (But if you don't enter, remember that rule 16 applies).

17.....A particular judge will ALWAYS put the Winners Dog up for Best of Winners, unless YOUR dog goes 'WD'
and there is only a major in bitches.

18.....If you enter a small show where there are normally no specials or only one, three of the top ten dogs will be
flown in from all over the country.

19.....If you do win an easy breed at a small show in Podunk Nowhere, you will then learn that a dozen top dogs and
professional handlers have flown in from the farthest corners of the country, and every one of them will show up in
YOUR group.

20.....If you win the group, you will discover that the BIS judge's favorite dog, who is the all time top winning dog in its
breed, has just won it's group, and the BIS judge has recently given it a BISS.

DOG PEOPLE

Dog People are a special breed not usually recognized by the AKC.
They:
Think everyone has crates in their living room.
Have messy houses-their kennels are spotless.
Can always find a show catalog within arm's reach.
Have kids who know more about the "birds & bees" when they are 5, than most people know when they are 40.
Drive trucks, vans & motor homes equipped to haul dog crates.
Can never be reached on a weekend: they are at a dog show.
Will drive 400 miles, spend $100 on gas, $200 on a motel room, & $150 on meals to bring home a 25 cent ribbon.
Have kids who regard to the word BITCH as just another household word.
Have lush green backyards---& they never bought fertilizer.
Get up at 6:00 am to walk the dogs, can be at ringside dressed to kill by 8:00 am , but have trouble getting to work on
time.
Will usually give up the $150,000 home in the suburbs to move to a shack on 10 acres so they can have a $150,000
kennel.
Never miss a closing date for entry fees--but pay the mortgage 10 days late.
Would rather be audited by the IRS than be investigated by the AKC.
Use dog food bags for trash & 30 gallon trash cans for dog food.
Talk for hours on the phone to another dog person in a language known only to dog people.
Have parents who think they lost their minds.
Have neighbors who think they are strange.
Have doggy friends who think they are TERRIFIC!

If I did not have pets...

1. I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety.

2. My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.

3. All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of pet hair.

4. When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like the humane society kennels.

5. When the doorbell rings, I could get to the door without wading through furry bodies who beat me there or who are
running away to escape the strangers.

6. I could sit on the couch the way I wanted, without taking into consideration how much space several fur bodies
would need to get comfortable.

7. I would not have strange presents under my Christmas tree...like dog bones, stuffed animals, little balls and string
toys. OR have to answer to people why I wrap them.

8. I would not be on a first name basis with three vets.

9. The most used words in my vocabulary would not be: "out", "sit", "off", "come", "no", "stay", and "leave him/her/it
ALONE".

10. My house would not be cordoned off into zones with baby gates or barriers.

11. My pockets would not contain things like poop bags, dog treats and an extra leash.

12. I would no longer have to spell the words B-A-L-L or F-R-I-S-B-E- E or W-A-L-K or T-R-E-A-T-S or
C-O-O-K-I-E-S.

13. I would not have as many leaves INSIDE my house as outside.

14. I would not look strangely at people who think having their ONE pet ties them down too much.

15. I'd look forward to Spring and the melting of the snow instead of dreading "mud season".

16. I would not have to answer the question "Why do I have so many animals?" from people who will never have the
joy in their life of knowing they are loved unconditionally by something as close to an angel as they will ever get.
