Gerti Bracksieck asked me some years ago if I would interested in doing something for the old Apso type. I was told that there was a very typey imported Apso bitch with the Panitz family in Switzerland and that the Panitz family was willing to cooperate in breeding their little bitch. It sounded very interesting to me when I heard about the “Tibetan Line” program, which some breeders wanted to start. The program stands for the preservation of the original Lhasa Apso, which could survive in its country of origin; very different from dogs with tons of coat and huge size that could be seen everywhere. |

The Tibetan Line based on imported dogs bred to pure Tibetan lines. Seeing the results of the breedings we have done already, we were quite successful. I especially like in the TL dogs their robustness. They have much vitality and have the very typical coat, double coat: hard hair on top and a normal amount of undercoat. They are very intelligent and still have the original independent personality, comparable to cats. The Apso “thinks” before he cooperates. If he comes to the conclusion that it is nonsense he will react accordingly; mostly he Won’t anything. This might cause problems if people don’t understand the nature of the Apso. Only seldom he growl, if he wants to get out of situation he doesn’t want to do. If people are sensitive enough they can handle these situations, just forcing the dog will never bring the desired result. You have to work together with your Apso. The breed is not for beginners. |

With “Chu-Chu Princess of Tongsa”, the little princess of the royal family of Bhutan, my Tibetan Line started. |

To these I purchased a little, typey male with a “great heart” – “Kushog-Traschi-Deleg von Lu-Khang (TL)”. He is out of breeding “Pato” (Canadian Import from Gerald D’Aoust) and the nice bitch “Traschi-Deleg V’Rinzin(TL)”. |

Together with friendly breeders we build up this „TL-program“ which is on the initiative of Gerti Bracksieck and Kerstin Handrich (Traschi-Deleg) We hope to preserve the origin type and character of the Lhasa Apso with this program. We think that all will be lost after a time when we don’t selective the right. |
My best dogs from "Tibetan Line" are Sangha Chu-Chu (TL) von Tri-Song, her daughter W'Asanga-Chu (TL) von Tri-Song and W'Asanga's daughter Dza-ti-Chu von Tri-Song (TL). | |

There are some more very nice TL dogs out
of my breeding, but they are living in pethomes, for it is difficult to
find good people for these treasures. All are robust and agile, they jump
and climb, have the ideal coat and the typical temperament. They have
quality and healthiness, impressing in their vitality. Karin Acker |
