Char Su is about two friends,the love of the same breed and similar goals for the sharing of that special breed.

The beginning was in 1981,when Susan Vroom was presented with a puppy from a breeder that began an association of breeding under the prefix of Ashante.

The first puppy was a black and white striking male,ultimately known as Am.Mex.International Champion Ashante's Too  hip Gotta Go.He,together with his littermate sister Ch.Ashante's Abra Abracadabra started it all.

His showcareer,just to hit the spotlights was:1987's#1 Top winning Tibetan Terrier in the United States and Best of Breed at 1988's TTCA National Specialty show.His major contribution was of course as a sire;he is in the pedigree of allmost every accomplished Champion of the breed.

Susan and Diane De La Rosa met in 1987 when she purchased a male puppy sired by "Too Hip" and the friendship began.This puppy,Ch.Lan Lin's California Cooler achieved everything Diane had dreamed of,and perhaps more.Presented in the showring by Susan he grew up to be a National Specialty Sweepstakes winner(the year his father won it all)and a multiple independent specialty Best of Breed winner,one of the first Tibetan Terrier Non-Sporting group 1 recipients,and the Best of Breed winner at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club.  In 1989,Diane and Susan began to breed under the Prefix CharSu.

It was,and remains so,the ideal union of"stay at home mom"(Diane)and,on the road,at the shows handler -type(Susan)training and showing the products of breedings that Diane has so lovingly started out.

All of the CharSu dogs,both grown-ups and puppies alike,are valuable members of dual families.Litters perhaps one to two a year,very painstakingly and carefully thought out,for maximum phenotype and genotype characteristics.

The health testing is of prime concern in every breeding we consider,no bitch or dog is incorporated into the CharSu Breeding program without strident scrutiny as to temperament,as well as hips,knees,eyes,thyroid levels ans all aspects of the individual ability of each breeding dog to reproduce a loving,healthy,happy member for someone's family.
