We hope you will enjoy your visit to our site, devoted to the delightful little Tibetan dog, the Lhasa Apso.

You will find many photos from puppies' early days in the whelping box to their becoming AKC Champions.

Our Lhasas are an integral part of our family. They grace our home and adorn our furniture. Floral Hill puppies are home-raised, healthy, happy, people-loving pups of high quality, purposely bred to meet the AKC standard for the breed as closely as possible.

If you are considering a Lhasa Apso as a possible addition to your family, please visit the AKC Standard page and its links for descriptions of breed features that set it apart from all others.

In Memory of Sweet Ellie...
March 26, 1996 - July 19, 2011

March of 1996 we were so hoping for a little girl out of Beauti's first litter, and she gave us just one. This delightful golden puppy became a favorite of our daughter's and was her bed buddy until she left for college. Playful and fun, she loved squeaky toys and was known for her ability to follow the directions of a pointed finger to find a tossed toy. At six months this precocious pup led us around the show ring. Her confident attitude, beauty and soundness caught the attention of judges and on 12/14/97 our sweet Ellie was awarded a 5 point major and became Champion Floral Hill's Sweet Elegance. A wonderful, devoted Mom, she passed on her exceptional qualities to her offspring and multiple owners have said, "Best dog I've ever owned."

We miss her so, but are grateful for the 15 years of memories she left us.

 

 

 

Wedding Announcement

 

Our daughter, Kristen Walcott and Benjamin "Beau" Justice were joined in matrimony 3:30 p.m. September 18, 2010. The sky was blue and the weather perfect for the outdoor ceremony in the gardens of the University of Virginia Colonnade Club. Vinnie did an excellent job handsomely carrying and presenting the rings for the couple. At the end of the evening the newlyweds made a romantic exit into the night running through the bubbles of well wishers. The couple enjoyed a fabulous honeymoon in London, Paris and Bruges. Welcome to our family, Beau! We are so happy for you both.

Megan and Buddy have puppies!
November 20, 2007
The dam, CH Floral Hill's Megabit, a petite 12 lb. golden girl, is a Beauti daughter. "Megan" was breeder/owner handled to her championship, winning Group placements along the way. The sire, our fun loving, loveable "Buddy," Ch Floral Hill Sharbil Sidekick, was also owner handled to his title.

Megan was a devoted Mom to her three babies, 2 males, 1 female, and the pups look fabulous! The two boys have been placed in loving homes and we look forward to having fun at the shows in 2008 with their sister, Floral Hill's Beautiful Doll.

Dolly very much enjoyed having her brother over for a visit and the two to them had a great time playing in the freshly fallen snow.
