GCH Suntory Beastie Boy (Charley’s half-brother Adam) looks up at the judge during competition in the ring at the 2011 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in New York City last year. He is pictured with Cassandra de la Rosa, exhibitor and co-owner with Raul de la Rosa. Adam won Best of Opposite at Westminster after winning several awards at the 2010 AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in Long Beach, California. Overall, he was #2 in breed for 2010 in the United States. Mr. and Mrs. de la Rosa are founders of Suntory Lhasa Apsos and owners of The Grooming Guru.
