What a year...

The new year is coming up and it brings a lot of memories, lots of feelings come back looking through the pictures. I remember year or so ago I was just looking at the puppy pictures that Mrs. Linda Kendall Smith from Orlane had sent me. I already felt that one of them is going to be the special one. Just a few months later I realized which one...

I feel very fortunate to be able to own Ally, Orlane´s All Too Easy. My dream dog, the lhasa I wanted since I first read about the fabulous dogs of Orlane. She is a dream girl, very lady-like and always with the matters of a Princess.. well, almost always.

Her happy temperament has been a joy to live with. She loves to play, enjoys her toys and enjoys attention. And of course, she is a shoe freak, but which lady is not?

Ally entered the showrings in the September 2008. Just 9 months old, she won her first Best of breed over an adult competitors. Until today she opened several Junior Championships, finished in three coutries, won a Junior Best In Show. And the list continues with a bookshelf eaten, several squeeky toys torn up and many magazines read through and through... Last but not least, one heart won over!

May the next year be at least as happy as 2008.
Thank you all for support, Thank You Linda and Thank You Ally!

Happy New Year to everyone!

The puppy I have been dreaming of and waiting for for a long time has finally stepped on the European land. I have had the most pleasurable trip to the US, visiting my friend Linda Kendall Smith at her house. I have been a great fan of her dogs since I was a young boy and I feel to be very fortunate to be able to say that my first lhasa puppy is from the famous Orlane kennel. I could never thank Linda enough for this wonderful little girl.

So, let me introduce Orlane´s All Too Easy, also known as Ally!
