GABRIEL AFGHAN HOUNDS

n January 1969, my first Afghan Hound, Disraeli of Scheherazade, was acquired as a pet. Of course one is never enough, so in 1971, I was given the gift of Brody's Tara Boom.This one happened to be a wild and crazy female puppy. She did so many bad things, like jumping across the kitchen counter, tearing through the rest of the house and reeking havoc while we were gone, and then returning to the kitchen when she heard us return. Tara also loved to dig up the ashes from the fireplace, scattering dust everywhere was her favorite pastime activity. So in order to have some sanity, we enrolled in obedience classes and she really excelled. She earned her CD title quickly and was ranked in the top 10 for Afghan H... It was at the obedience events that I first saw conformation competitions. I had never seen anything like it and was quite fascinated with this aspect of the dog world.We set about to get a "show" quality dog and thus began our journey in conformation competition and breeding...
