Afghan Hound Family & Friends,

Months ago, I received back "Kano", one of my very special boys, due to owner passing away.  I have finally received his registration back in my name.

He is special because (besides being very correct, and beautiful, sound, and seems to have bomb proof temperament!) he is a littermate

of our all time breed record breaking "Lightning", CH Hosanna Call Down The Thunder On Shining Mountain, owner handed

to become YOUNGEST CH in the history of this breed, by his owner, Brian Wood.
That record stood for almost 30 years, by a Grandeur Afghan, handled by Michael Canalizo.

I was not able to get him to any show classes, as our club was not having them in summer, it was too hot in our building. But I took

him to the Bluegrass Cluster dog shows in Lexington anyway, to see how he would do.  On the Thursday 8/29 first day of shows was the very first time he ever had a show lead on him, or saw a show ring,  He loved it, his tail is ALWAYS UP, and on Saturday, Sunday& Monday he was Winner's Dog, and has 3 Champion points already.  This past year I finished a CH on Percy, who was 6 years, same age as Kano, at the time.  Unfortunately, I do not have the resources to keep showing him, nor the personal mobility to show him myself, but I very much think he DESERVES and would ENJOY continuing in the ring, so I am seeking a co-owner for him.  I have more than enough boys here, so would be fine with him living permanently with a co-owner.  I would keep co-ownership so I could perhaps bring a girl to visit him in future. I have his lovely niece, Sunshine, they would make a nice uncle/niece line breeding on my GCHS Hosanna Love Unfailing ("Lacy"), who is Kano's & Lightning's mom, and Sunshine's grandma.

Here is some video of him with my daughter, Rose, when we first got him back months ago.  Note his reach and glide movement.

Kano's Pedigree www.hosanna1.com/Hounds/RingerXLacy/PedRingerXLacy.gif I need to UPDATE THAT, his sire, Ringer finished his CH with a 5 point major, from BBE class!

Some photos, one when he first came home (he LOVES KIDS), his first show pic, one of Sunshine, and some of Lacy. 
CALL 270-432-7272 with questions and/or serious inquiries please.

Kano is a Japanese word, meaning generally ‘a powerful man’.  I think it suits him.

Unfortunately, we have had dozens of new sales taxes put on us in KY.  Among them are VETERINARY

AND GROOMING SERVICES, and CAR REPAIRS.  Those are HUGE expenses here, and

our SS checks just will not stretch enough for all that added expense.  Sorry.  We do the best we can here,

 BUT THIS HAS AFFECTED OUR PUPPY PRICES.  Though we do not place any puppies in KY, we have to

pay all of these taxes no matter where they go.

 

Also, for any who had thought of showing, it is a great time for it.
The numbers in this breed have now fallen so low, it only takes

4 to 6 to make a major just about anywhere in the country.
This is about 1/2 to 1/4 of the numbers we had to compete with

when we were finishing our CHs.

  As always, if you are interested,
PLEASE CALL ME ON THE PHONE. (270)432-7272 CST  Thanks,   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You will not find a nicer Afghan Hound puppy for the cost anywhere, as we only ask enough to

cover a fraction of what we've spent on them.  If we were, they would be about 4x as much, as I notice some others are.

If interested, as always, please CALL (270)432-7272 CST (I'm a night owl)

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since I can no longer get them in the show ring much myself, I am making available my FIRST PICK girl & boy from my litters.  For almost 30 years, we have produced an average of a bit more than ONE litter/year.

Always before, after extensive evaluation at 8 or 9 weeks, I have chosen and kept the pick boy and girl all to myself to show.

I have never forced anyone else to show my dogs, but out of my 'picks' we have finished 30 Champions, and (so far)

4 Grand Champions, plus our FIRST CH, a Mexican CH.  If you are serious about having one who can WIN in the ring,

these are excellent prospects. Due to health issues ( found out I need a new hip, and don't have resources for that - mostly because spent a half million or so on these dogs for past almost 30 years <G>), and also can no longer afford to pay a handler to show them, so hoping to find the right person(s) to give them a chance. 

 

We were out of the ring past 18 mos due to covid, & Ace was shaved last year. But now we're coming back!

Percy is OFA Excellent. I will be getting Uno tested soon. Watch for Percy in the Specials ring in the fall!
I would LOVE to special Uno, after he matures a bit more, IF I can find the resourses for that. >br>I might consider a co-owner for Uno. If interested in that PLEASE CALL. 

    

 

 

    

    
Always before, I have kept some to show (or be shown) myself because

it is the best way for me to be SURE they are as good as I think they are

- put them out there, and see if they can actually beat other dogs, and it's about PRESERVING the breed.

 

I have always bred only my best to my best here, and the ones we have shown have been quite competitive. 

 

You will have SOLE ownership, and FULL rights to your puppy if it comes from me.

  HOW TO MAKE A RESERVATION: FIRST CALL ON THE PHONE - see above for # - THANKS : )  

I've changed my procedure  a bit due to my osteoarthritis, and lack of resources to hire a full time handler.

 

I am still going to evaluate the litters at 8-9 weeks, so I can give people accurate information on which

would make the best show prospects.  For those who are not familiar, this is a sample of that evaluation process. 

 I've been doing all this for every litter since our 2nd litter in 1997.

 

This is for the litter of Ch Hosanna White Lightning ('Flash') X Ch & Grand Ch Hosanna Love Unfailing ('Lacy)

Here is the QUANTITATIVE evaluation of that litter:

http://www.hosanna1.com/Hounds/FlashXLacy/AfghanHoundPuppies9wkEvaluation/EvalFlashXLacy9wkJan4-2013WWW.htm

If you have questions, and want explanations of how this works, please CALL

- still don't have so much time to type. Here are the 9 week evaluation pictures of each puppy in that litter:

http://www.hosanna1.com/Hounds/FlashXLacy/AfghanHoundPuppies9wkEvaluation/EvalFlashXLacy9wkJan4-2013WWW.htm

Here are pics of them when they'd grown up a bit: http://www.hosanna1.com/Hounds/FlashXLacy/

 

I'm still going to hold off promising an individual puppy to an individual person until I can give them my best

 information on them (AFTER I evaluate them).  I've never before forced anyone to show my dogs, but I do

still think it's important (it's about EVALUATING BREEDING STOCK), and since I can

no longer do much of that) I'm going to encourage SOMEONE do that, at least with the first pick boy and girl. 

Previously, all the puppies I've placed have been the same price. 

Previously, I've never allowed my 1st pic boy and girl to go to anyone else, kept them myself for

showing/future breeding.  From now on, I will make my 1st picks available, but they will be a bit more $

than the rest of the puppies in the litter - HOPING that a serious show person, and maybe someone who

would like to breed them eventually will be willing  to make a bit more investment for the BEST.  I have been

having some very nice litters - quite a few that were not 'first pick' have been successful in the show ring, and

even finished titles.  We finished 3 and 4 from some of our litters.  However, almost ALL of my 'first picks'

have done well in the show ring, and ALL of them have PRODUCED winners, though just a couple

of those over past 20 years didn't finish themselves (one or two of them just didn't want to be show dogs

- a couple we lost prematurely - one - Hosanna Precious Gift - was even lost by her handler).

 

As soon as they have been evaluated, I will invite those who have put deposits to CHOOSE THEIRS IN

THE ORDER IN WHICH I RECEIVED the deposits. 1st IN = 1st pick, 2nd in = 2nd pick, etc.

Remember, before, always folks had pick AFTER I TOOK MINE.  And, I have NEVER picked on color

NOW you can choose from the ENTIRE litter - BUT IF you want the one I call 'first pick', it will cost a bit more.

You may pick WHATEVER one you want from what is available when IT IS YOUR TURN

- pick on color if you want to, or any other criteria you have.  BUT the prices will be a bit higher for the

1st  'picks' of the litter, This means that, IF whoever is first or second in line doesn't want the 'best' (1st pick)

one (for whatever their reason is - if they want a pet, they may not want to pay more for it, for instance), that one will

still be available to those who got deposits in later.

 

It has rarely happened that there was only a single boy in a litter. Actually, that's how

CH Hosanna It's Your Will got his name.  He was the ONLY boy - and he finished his Championship, and sired a Champion

plus a Champion PRODUCER (Will only sired a single litter, and only one of them was shown, his son, Romeo, did not 'want'

to be a show dog - but he has produced two Champions and a Grand Champion in his single litter).  Willie  was GORGEOUS.

His pic is here (scroll down a bit) http://www.hosanna1.com/Hounds/ChildrenOfPeace/

At the top of that page is his sister, 'Bliss', my 1st pick girl from that litter.  Though she did not want to be

a show girl, so never even won a point, she was OUTSTANDING in EVERY other way, and PRODUCED

SEVERAL Champions.  Note the LINK at top of that page to THEIR 8 week evaluation photos. And, yes,

I also did the SAME quantitative evaluation on them, just didn't get it up on a web page.  Have it here in my notebook.

 

IF there is an ONLY boy or girl, I will price them according to where they rank in the whole litter.  If they rank in the top

third, the only will be 'pick of the litter' price.  If rank is lower, will hedge, and only ask same as for the balance of the litter

 - even though might still be an OUTSTANDING puppy. 

 

Remember, the WORST puppy from a HIGH quality litter can be BETTER than the

BEST puppy from a LOW QUALITY litter.

 

I am, as always, willing and available to assist my puppy's people.  I will share ALL the knowledge I've gained from

studying genetics for more than 50 years, and studying and working with this breed for more than 25 years.

I am willing and able to be a MENTOR to anyone who is serious about helping to continue this breed in a responsible 

way (that is, TAKING LIFE TIME RESPOSIBILITY FOR ANY PUPPIES PRODUCED), and maintaining and IMPROVING the QUALITY of it.
