EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1953, showcases three Champion Pekingese dogs named Yu-Tong, Tong-Tuo, and Lin-Yu-Tang, proudly owned by the esteemed breed enthusiast, Miss Ashton Cross, residing in Alderbourne. The trio of champions poses on a step ladder, their regal demeanor and striking coats on full display. Pekingese dogs, a breed originating from China, were renowned for their distinctive appearance, with their dense, long fur, small size, and distinctive lion-like mane. These dogs were popular companions for the Chinese imperial court and later became a favorite breed among the European aristocracy. Miss Ashton Cross, an avid lover of Pekingese, had clearly devoted much time and care to her beloved champions. The photograph captures the essence of their unique bond, as they sit together on the ladder, seemingly at ease and content. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, adding to the serene and idyllic atmosphere. The year 1953 marked a significant moment in the history of these three champions, as they had likely achieved great success in the dog show circuit. Their titles as champions underscore their exceptional qualities and the high regard in which they were held within the world of purebred dogs. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Pekingese breed and the special connection between a dedicated owner and her cherished companions.
