These were all taken at Windsor Championship Show June 29th 2011. The Judge was Sue Ellis of the famous NEDLIK Lhasa Apso kennel. A breeder of many Champions whose opinion I hold in high regard. Mary -Grace won her class. The picture on the bottom left is Mary-Grace giving me her paw. She does it all the time. I taught her to do it but never had one like her who just does it all the time and if you take it and say thank you, she stops!Mary-Grace is a mild mannered, very submissive dog at home but in the show ring she switches into 'look at me, aren't I wonderful' mode. A real show dog. It is a trait I have in Whitney and her daughter Pussy. Luque too and he is the sire of Whitney and Mary-Grace and thus grandfather to Pussy. This is a trait I intend to keep.
Mary-Grace also gets executed on the morning of the show. She knows what is going on and can't wait to get into the car. She walks out to the car on her own. Whitney was not so enamoured by the drive but loved the shows and showing off.
A big thank you to Gavin Roach for taking the photographs for me.

she is truly lovely colin congrats again for winning you class
all beautiful Colin. I love the last one looking at you with her paw up. I hope you mean she gets "excited" on the morning of the show, not "executed"!! :)xx
Would it be OK if I copied and shared that last photo of you and MG to post on my wall. I think the whole world needs a bit more color!
this is the type of Lhasa I fell in love with, 24 yrs ago....love the 2nd pic and the pic showing her on the move....congratulations Colin!
liked her as a tiny baby and I'm really pleased she's doing well for you :-) x
What a beauty...nice job Colin.

Simply beautiful.......
You both look wonderful! That last picture is so precious....Congrats on winning MG's class under a breeder that you respect! Those are the best kind of wins!
Oh Colin, that last picture is gorgeous of the both of you. She sure looks to you as the pack leader. She sure is a gift, I agree with Linda. Congratulations to both of you for your win.

Mary Grace is a fabulous dog! I was taken aback for a moment at the error your voice recognition software made whereby the pup is "executed" before a show. Then, I had to laugh at myself! I love the duds, too.
Congratulations! Mary Grace is a fabulous doggie. One of my bosses is named Marygrace, and she is cute too.
All three of your outfit choices are great.
until I saw pics of your girls and boys I never really liked that type of dog.... but getting to know them and then seeing them looking all swish... I'm a big fan. Stilll love my black Lab more though.. sorry Colin!
Congratulations!
Lovely photos...executed? excited!
I get my worms muddled up too!
xx
Congratulations, Mary-Grace and Colin! Love the outfit, too!
Looks great Colin, saying that you look as if you are in pain in one of the pics, take care
