This is a blog you need to read from the bottom up.   I've received more pictures of this beautiful boy.
 He was only 9 1/2 pounds.    In the last picture, he seems huge!   
I also received this picture.  The last picture must have been taken at a very strange angle!      This isn't a big dog.
This is one big Pekingese.   He was Chik T'sun of Caversham, Australia.  He was best in show at Westminster in 1960.     I tried to find more information on him (like his weight).    He was owned by Mr & Mrs C C Venable.      I can see he was beautiful!  Click

Linda - Westminister dog show is in the USA --- ????
ReplyDeleteI can't see how people in the 1960's Australia could afford to travel to the USA for a dog show honestly.
