Danny ... one of those very special dogs that comes along once in a lifetime. We are truly privileged to have bred and owned this wonderful Lhasa, and can only hope that you have such a dog one day! |
The many thrills of his show career were matched only by the wonderful puppies that he produced.
An influential sire in the US and England, he has left behind a legacy of beauty and showmanship that will never be forgotten ... we look forward to the contributions of his progeny in coming generations with great anticipation. The sire of 36 Am. and 18 Eng. Champions, grandsire of many more!

| I think when you're immersed in something of great interest, or passion, you aren't consciously striving for competitive records, wins, etc. - but more involved with the details of how each small
step forward relates to past experiences. So it was with the birth of Intrepid on the 26th of September, 1976. Brandy, our housedog, was young and we were pleased that we had a daughter of the great Avenger dog; and she was well
proportioned and pretty moving. Frankly, she was just one of many pretty bitches we had at the time, although special to us because of her personality. When we bred her to Buzzy (BIS Ch. Windsong's Gusto of Innsbrook), we hoped
for a nice male to use in conjunction with the Inimitable kids ... so we were pleased that she had 1 male pup born (would have liked to have had a couple of girls, too - but ...). He was a bright-eyed little guy with an
inquisitive manner - kept climbing out of his whelping box and falling on his nose at a very early age ... and wiggled all over when picked up. As he gained his sea legs, and started running around, Brandy got very tired of him very soon, and weaned him rather early. He was a small puppy, and very active ... but he was sound with no obvious faults. We lived in Burlington, Iowa at the time, and the Langs (who owned Buzzy) visited us on their Christmas vacation when he was about 3 months old. They were completely enamored with the little gold pup, and wanted to take him back to Newark, DE so I wouldn't sell him! At this time, I was in an unhappy situation, and planned to move to the East Coast ... we sold our home on Madison Ave., and John and Marge offered us their house to live in until we could find a place. We left in January, bringing those dogs we felt most important to our breeding program, but we had to leave some of them with others. Inimitable was left with Tom and Eileen Sorth, until such time as we settled in a new place, Ch. Orlane's Gold Chipper was left with his co-owner, but never returned to us. Chips was a real loss, we would have like to use him a great deal more, but such was not to be. Jean Blyth had planned a trip to the US with Ann Matthews, and asked if she might visit us and see the dogs - so we arranged for her visit to Newark in early February. Jean liked Intrepid as a 5 month old puppy, but was not particularly impressed ... there were so many beautiful dogs that I think she was a little overwhelmed! She did ask that we send her what we felt would be something of quality to work with her already successful breeding program when she returned to England. (next page) |
