This gorgeous red boy is a Basil and Molly son, Ch. Kai-La-Sha Sherman O'Rumtek, aka "Tank".  In his first two litters, 7 out of 8 pups finished their championships owner handled.  He is 11 inches tall, and weighs 17 lbs.  He has proper proportions, and a well constructed front and rear. His head and expression are the ideal I have sought to retain in my breeding - the classic  Lhasa Apso.  And the coat?  To die for!

Introducing Mumta Khanna.  She has been breeding her pure Tibetan strain of Lhasas in Northern India for the past 3 decades.  Her Lhasa Apsos are the true Gompa (Temple) Lhasas from Tibet.  The true Himalayan type!  To see more of her Lhasas please click on this link: MUMTA

This is Ch. Kai-La-Sha Elle, as a 2 year old bitch of Hamilton/Tibetan breeding. She is 24 cm (9.5 in.) tall, and weighs 5.25 kg (12 lb.). She has all the things we want in a Lhasa bitch: a feminine, correct head and expression, a hard straight coat, a well angulated shoulder and straight front legs, a sound well angulated rear, a dense, hard little body, with a flat topline. She also has one of the biggest mouths (LOUD) God ever bestowed on a Lhasa Apso! Needless to say, the neighbors are not among her biggest fans!  Ellie now is retired in Florida.

Kai-La-Sha Tough Cookie II as a 3 year old , 10 1/2 inches tall, well built bitch.  She has a wonderful hard, dense coat, and a perfect head and bite.  Cookie has a lovely character as well.  She loves all people, but especially babies, canine and human.

Ch. Kai-La-Sha Dolma ROM*.  Dolma was my first homebred Champion. Born in 1974, she combined all the best features of a Lhasa. She was small - 9.5 inches tall, well made, with a wonderful typey expression, a perfect bite and a hard, beautiful coat. She was the most intelligent dog I have ever had, with a personality that no-one who knew her will ever forget.

Ch. Kai-La-Sha Sharbil Tsam-bo.  

Sam, one of Dolma's champion sons by Everglo Rempa carried the same beautiful headpiece and hard coat as his mom.  His coloring, a charcoal and deep red was striking.  He was a beautifully balanced dog with his famous father's smooth movement and proud carriage.

Kai-La-Sha Indian Summer was perhaps the most perfect bitch I have ever bred. She hated the showring, but even so managed to win a few breeds.   Showing her was like pulling teeth.   Even when she did agree to carry her tail,  she always let you know that "this was not my idea!".   She was so incredibly beautiful that the judges tried very hard to give her a chance - sending her around many times to see if she would show well enough to justify putting her up. But Summer had her own agenda - at home - on the sofa!

Ch. Kai-La-Sha Kha-Char , aka Piggy finished at 16 months in this photo.  Piggy, a daughter of Everglo Copper Carol, had a wonderful coat factor which she has passed on to all her descendants. Her pigment was amazing.  Black nose and eye rims, of course, but also black skin, black gums, and black palate.  When she got excited, she had dandruff - black dandruff - which looked quite odd in her milk white coat. She never had face or foot staining either. Her son, Tommy, inherited both his mother's coat and pigment.  Piggy produced 10 puppies in her first litter and 11 in her second litter. (In the dictionery, you will find Piggy's photo next to the word "fecund"!)

Deu.Ch. Kai-La-Sha Tom-Tru: Born in 1984, Tommy is a son of Piggy and lived till age 17 in France with his adoptive parents Laurent Pindel and Francois Andrzwjewski.  He showed no signs of slowing down, and was still actively breeding and producing well into his teens.  Tommy was a very sound dog, and is notable for throwing his wonderful coat and pigment and excellent fronts down for several generations. Tommy is the sire of our present leading man, Basil.

Ch. Everglo Somethin' was a dog I borrowed from Gloria Fowler.   I took him mainly for his pedigree as he was a son of the wonderful Everglo Rempa.  He was no disappointment as an individual either. He was a solidly built dog with the most beautiful hair I have ever seen.  It was dead straight, and gleamed like embroidery silk. He had a lovely expression, a perfect bite, and a sweet and gentle disposition.

Ch. Kai-La-Sha Honest Injun, born in 1986, is a champion in a half dozen countries, shown in Europe by my friend Karen Olesen.  Injun, now deceased, was a 10 inch tall well balanced dog, very compact but not lacking in substance. A good mover for his size, Injun had a terrific rear end, as well as a very nice front, and a dead level topline. If I had to fault him, I would say he had a bit too "foxy" a facial expression.  Injun produced Ch. Kai-La-Sha Fresh Paint (Indy) and my own very special, never shown, Amber.  Injun could always be counted on to reproduce his wonderful deep red coat and rich black pigment.

An Injun daughter, "Indy" (Ch.Kai-La-Sha Fresh Paint) was a regal bitch who finished at 18 months. She had her father's soundness,and beautiful movement.

"Pinky" (Kai-La-Sha Pink Peony) was never shown, but was easily one of the best and typiest bitches I ever bred. Pinky was the house pet and could not tolerate other rivals to her territory. She retired with a gentleman of similar dispostion in Arizona.

Ch. Kai-La-Sha Somethin' Regal was a son of Ch. Everglo Somethin'. Charlie was perhaps the best moving dog I have ever seen - for smoothness and length of stride.  Charlie flew over the ground like a whisper - simply floating - he looked like his feet never touched the ground. He had a long nose and a soft coat, but a wonderful willingness to show. No matter how hot, rainy, or cold - Charlie never cared. Personally, I thought he was a bit demented - no sensible dog of mine was ever that happy to show! Charlie is Basil's maternal grandfather.

Once again,  Basil, (Ch. Kai-La-Sha Justa Jigolo). Sired by Ch. Kai-La-Sha Tom-Tru, he finished his US championship at 13 months of age, and was top Lhasa in Austria, 1996.  Je also has his Swedish and Norwegian Ch. titles.  Now 14 years old, looking half his age, Basil is home in the USA.  This dark silver dog is 11 inches tall, has a perfect head and mouth, and a hard textured coat.  He is also a very sweet dog, tolerant of children, puppies and other males as well as bitches.

Kai-La-Sha Reddy for Love is a male, (in this photo, 7 months old) dark red, well built, 10 1/2 inches tall. Reddy is by Ch. Tall Oaks Enuf's Enuf out of our mahogany red Kai-La-Sha Amber. Reddy now lives with Juha Kares in Finland.  Reddy decided at the age of 8 months that he was "Ready for Love". Cookie, (Kai-La-Sha Tough Cookie II), unbeknownst to me, was in a "silent" heat - no bleeding at all!  Reddy, however, discovered her condition when I let them all out in the garden. These two made good use of the opportunity afforded them by my ignorance and inattention. As expected, on Nov. 6, 1997, Cookie produced 3 red boys and 3 red girls!

Here is the real thing!  Just sent by the Queen of Bhutan to her friends in Switzerland, Moti-Chu is about 7 months old. Note the hard straight coat, characteristic of the true Tibetan Lhasa Apso, and the large very black nose leather. Also notice the rather high earset characteristic of the true Tibetan Lhasa Apso.

And last, but not least . . . Kai-La-Sha Amber with her stolen bagel! Amber was shown once, at 11 years of age. She is the mother of Ivan, and a very sound bitch. We just lost her at age 16.
