    Lhasa Apso origin is from Tibet and its history is told by the history of the country's monasteries.  Many of the dogs were kept in monasteries and treated as sacred animals by the monks.  It believed that the Lhasa Apso to be purely a Tibetan dog. It was the practice of the Dalai Lama of Tibet to give a pair of Palace-Bred Apsos to visiting high dignitaries and officials from other countries.  





     This was how the dogs were brought to the imperial court of China.  It is considered a GREAT HONOR to receive one of the highly revered Tibetan dogs which were said to signify "good fortune for the receiver"





     In 1925 President Theodore Roosevelt and his sons went on an expedition to Tibet, searching for the Giant Panda.  C. Suydam Cuttings led the expedition


and during the numerous visits to Tibet they were granted an audience by the country's high chiefs.  This was very rare because of the remote location of Tibet and the indifference its inhabitants showed toward visitors.





     But in 1933 after several years of travelling to Tibet, the 13th Dalai Lama of Tibet culminated his friendship with Mr. Cummings.  The high priest bestowed upon him a pair of Lhasa Apsos (Black & White male and purportedly "the color of raw silk" female)  This gift was offered as a symbol of "prosperity and good fortune".  





    In 1937 the Cuttings were presented with another pair of Lhasas. these the much desired "golden" colored dogs highly prized in the Palace.  These little dogs were favored by ROYALTY.





    The breed standard for the Lhasa was approved by the American Kennel Club in 1935 which has remained vertually unchanged to the present time.  The first Lhasa Apso registered with AKC was entered into their records by the Cuttings which were the dogs that had been given to him during his Tibetan visits.





    Give your "Sweetheart" this very special Gift for Valentine...a symbol of "prosperity and good fortune" and a gift that HONORS the receiver.
