There was always something special about Autumn and that became more and more obvious as she grew. She began her show career at age 4 months, winning Best Beginner Puppy in Show on the day she turned 4 months old. At age 7 months she was awarded Reserve Winners Bitch at the American Lhasa Apso Club's National Specialty. That win earned her her first major!
What follows are photos of Autumn as she grew up and progressed through her show career. The first photo is of Autumn at age 7 weeks. What a cutie!
The photo below was taken of her after she won Best Beginner Puppy in Show when she was 4 months old.
She was Reserve Winners Bitch at the ALAC National Specialty and, as a result, was awarded her first major. Doris Cozart was the judge and her critique said, "1st and reserve winners was Joyslyn's Wind Song, a very typey bitch, well balanced, correct head planes, good eye shape, neck flowed into shoulders correctly and great attitude."
Here is Autumn strutting her stuff at the 2019 show in Indy.
Autumn won majors two days at shows in Manitowoc, WI.
The following month, she won two majors in Jefferson, WI, and came home a Champion!
Since Autumn was still young and still eager to show, we decided to work toward her Grand Championship. She was off to a great start when she won back to back specialty shows in West Bend, WI, earning her the BISS title at the beginning of her name.
Other wins included placements in the Owner Handled Group and the Regular Non-Sporting group, as well as multiple Best of Breed wins. Autumn (not me!) made the decision that enough was enough, and we stopped showing her in early September 2020. We are so proud of having bred such a beautiful Lhasa!
