| Joyslyn's Othello (mid 1970's) |
As I look at the three darling black puppies we have (Raven, Jet, and Whisper), I cannot help but think back over the years to the other black Lhasas we've bred, owned, and loved. As a matter of fact, our first black Lhasa came from the first litter we bred. I guess you could say it was that litter that set us one step further on our journey to where we are today. That black Lhasa became Joyslyn's Othello ("Telly"). He was sold to a show home and won some points but never finished.

| Sunshine's Black Cherry (mid 80's) |
If memory serves, our next black was Sunshine's Black Cherry, whom we purchased from Mary Soto of Sunshine Lhasas. Cherry's grandsire was our own Multiple Group Winning Am. Can. Champion Joyslyn's Piece of the Rock, so it was natural that she fit into our breeding program.

| Ch. Joyslyn MiToya Escapade (mid 90's) |
In this post are some photos of black Lhasas throughout Joyslyn's history. As you can see, they have been beauties. There, of course, were others that were sold to pet homes. Over the years we've lost track of them because, as you know, not all pet owners want to stay in touch with their breeders. Ch. Joyslyn MiToya Escapade ("Jordie") was the last black Lhasa that we bred and kept. He died in August 2007, just a week after his 14th birthday. His sire was Ch. Joyslyn's Mirage ("Raj") and his mother was Joyslyn's Mystique ("Mysti").

It was not until I got Mira (Ch. Karlyn Joyslyn Who's the Fairest) in 2008 that another black Lhasa entered our lives. I'd been looking for one for a while and as soon as my friends Karen and Jan had a black girl in their litter, I called 'dibs' on her! Mira is the mother of our current crew of black puppies.
Enjoy the pictures of some of our black Lhasas through the years.
Life is good when you have a Lhasa to love you!

I should send you photos of Oreo too.....get those initials at the end of the name with the black and white dog up on your blog!
ReplyDeleteYou are right! We need to add Oreo. I think I have a picture of him. Otherwise, I will let you know and you can email me one. You need to send me all those initials so I'm sure to get them right. It's impressive! Thanks for the reminder!
