It was 1977 when Jim went looking for a companion for his Great Dane. Walking into a local pet shop he saw a bundle of hair. He was intrigued. He kept coming back to it.

This pup was indeed  a Lhasa Apso. He purchased it, searched for the breeder and got the papers. He was then looking through the paper and came across a sale notice for Lhasa Apsos.

He rang the number and spoke to the breeder. It was Mrs Maribel Eather of Tieebah Kennels; she sold him another Lhasa as a companion for the first and told him about showing.

Well as they say the rest is history. Out went the Great Danes and in came the Lhasas.

These first two Lhasas were shown and gained their titles.

Not happy with that Jim decided he wanted more. Finding nothing he liked anywhere, he decided to breed for himself.

In the late 1980's Jim moved to The Blue Mountains and later met, Steven. Together we have continued breeding under the Nahemja prefix.

We are both very proud of our achievements in breeding over the years. And unlike some we do not count the number of champions we have bred. But, look mainly at the quality of those champions rather than the quantity.

Our Philosophy in both breeding and showing is Simple.      

Never become kennel blind, for others can and will breed good dogs as well.

In 1999, Jim felt it was time he put something back into the dogs he loved. He successfully completed Judges Training and is now licensed to judge Australia's Non Sporting group & Toy group.

Mean while sit back and enjoy your time spent here. We welcome comments and suggestions.

Jim & Steven.
