My
involvement in Lhasa Apsos began in 1970, when I was fortunate enough
to become acquainted with Norman and Carolyn Herbel through my
friendship with their daughter, Carmen. Having always loved dogs, it
was a wonderful opportunity for me to learn about Apsos from the ground
up; starting with the basic care and grooming of the breed and
eventually working my way up to the show and breeding aspect of what
ultimately became a lifetime commitment. The close relationship begun in those early years with the Herbel family has endured through more |
| than
three decades and, though we now live many miles apart, the Tabu PA
breeding program continues to hold true to those original principles
first established by Norman and Carolyn Herbel of Tabu. My husband Jim and I now reside, along with our many Apsos, in the beautiful rolling hills of south-central Pennsylvania (PA). |

Our
lives with the dogs have been very fulfilling thus far. Among other
things, the years have seen us become ROM breeders of numerous champion
Lhasa Apsos, including the Grand Victor at the 2004 American Lhasa Apso
National Specialty; Nancy authored the book "A New Owners Guide To
Lhasa Apsos" (TFH) and established the Measurement Certification
Program for the American Lhasa Apso Club, which keeps statistics on the
height, length and weight of our Apsos.

| Finally, no words can express how much our work with the incredibly talented dog photographers, Jeannie and Bane Harrison, of Close Encounters Of The Furry Kind,
has meant to us.Their ability to capture the heart and soul of our
wonderful Apsos in their photographs, enabling us to share their magic
with so many others, means more to us than any title, any win or any
trophy ever could. Thank you Jeannie and Bane! Nancy Plunkett |
