Rosaril Rhythm of Love with Nachubans.

Nachubans In the Buff

My name is Fay Buchanan and I moved from Lanarkshire, Scotland to Lancashire with my husband, Ian, and family in the late 70’s and. we bought our first Shih Tzu at the beginning of the 80’s. The Breeder asked if I had ever thought about showing, saying our puppy was a lovely example of the breed . It sounded great

fun and things just snowballed from there. We soon had an extended family of Shih Tzu.We had caught the ‘showing’ bug, much of our spare time was then spent going around the show circuit in our camper van with our children and dogs. The children enjoying Junior Handling Classes at the shows. This taught them to be good losers and modest winners.

Over the years as our children entered their teens dog showing had to take a back seat as our time was taken up supporting them in whatever hobbies they had decided upon..

We never lost our enthusiasm for Shih Tzu and showing. We still enjoyed the company of our Dogs and had long telephone conversations with our doggy’ friends keeping in touch with what was happening in and around the show ring. . The children eventually grew up, but by that time I was unable to travel around showing our dogs. We manage a few shows but I realised I would not be able to show the dogs to the extent we had in the past.

We had continued to support Northern Counties Shih Tzu Club and kept up our membership and in

2000 I was approached by a founder member of the Club who asked if I would be willing to act as Secretary for The Northern Counties Shih Tzu Club. I agreed to stand for election and have been the Club Secretary since then. Eighteen months after this we lost our Treasurer and I was once again approached and asked if I would take on this responsibility alongside the duties

of Secretary. Being at home all day I felt able to cope with both jobs. The Club holds two open shows and one Championship show every year.

We hold Breed Seminars .

My favourite event of the year is our annual Fun Day which is held near

Preston, Lancashire on the first Sunday in August This day is open to

members and non members and everyone is guaranteed a warm

welcome. There is fun and games for everyone and evena fancy dress

competition for humans or their dogs. Anyone interested in becoming a

member of the Club or attending one of our events can email me at

fay@nachubans.co.uk for more information. Or visit the Clubs’ site at :

I retired from the position of Secretary in August 2007 and from Treasurer in 2008 although both my husband and I remain active Committee Members and my husband acts as the Club’s Show Manager.

When planning a litter I try to breed for type and temperament. My

dogs are our pets who share our home. They are used to the normal

day to day noises expected in the home and our grandchildren are

encouraged to play (gently) with our puppies.

When they go to their new homes new owners are given a leaflet

containing the pup’s diet, worming details, and some helpful tips.

They are also given the pups five generation pedigree, Kennel Club

Registration and 6 weeks free insurance. New owners are told they can phone

me about any worries or problems they may have with the pup. My support is

here for the lifetime of the pup if needed. If, for any reason the new owner

feels they can no longer cope with the puppy I ask they contact me.
