Erba International All Breed Christmas Show

Emanuela wanted to put one more CAC on Tuuli before finishing the year. And she did it!

It was a windy day outside, so it just had to be Tuuli's day!

Zoomin' Fairy del Gran Pamir aka "Tuuli" - CAC CACIB BOB

And (Supergirl) Gran Pamir Miss She's Bliss aka "Iara" - Junior BOS

This was Iara's third win in a row, we are more than pleased! VP 2nd in the class was

Kyber's daughter Vain Jane and VP 3rd the great moving "Isha" GP Miss Lil White Star.

This show had the 2nd biggest Afghan entry (all breeds) of the year, as far as we know!

Judge was Mrs Liliane De Ridder Onghena from Belgium.

This last win sees Tuuli as one of Italy's Top Winning Afghan Bitches All Breed 2004.

Also, to our knowledge, no other bitch has won as many Cacib's as her in Italy this year. Wow!!

Seasons Greetings to all our friends! Wishing you all a great 2005!

Seth & Co wish you Happy Holidays!

By the way, we started to re-design our site... yes we are crazy!!

It will be hopefully out for the New year, watch out!

Now we're proud to say that he's

Sighthound Specialty Show in Lostallo (Switzerland)

"Iara" & "Isha" (former Ms Piggy & Stellina) and their owners' first show ever!

Starting out with a BANG...

"Iara" - GRAN PAMIR MISS SHE'S BLISS

Puppy BOB & BEST IN SHOW!

Showing like a real experienced showdog, Iara is getting noticed at the tender age of only 6 months!

Her sister "Isha", Gran Pamir Miss Lil White Star got 'Very Promising' too,

but like all the other puppies in the class she was "unplaced", only the winner was known.

Thank You Judge Mrs E-M Klepp (Norway) for appreciating these Sweeties.

Iara & Isha's critiques:

Iara: "Very sweet little puppy, nice head, dark eyes, very good lenght of topline, well related,

long neck, good feet, well formed body for age.

Shows a lot of character. Good sidedrive, well presented (shown by breeder)."

Isha: "Sweet puppy, nice head, long neck, ok topline, well angled long legs, well developed for age.

Nice feet, good bones, moves well. Well presented (shown by owner)."

Both cuties from Fabio x Millah litter are owned by Isabell Janza & Igor Maggioni in Switzerland.

You're doing a great job guys! Keep it up :-)

And "Tuuli" was Exc 2nd in Open Class. Anyway, her movement is once again recognized:

"...She moves with the right Afghan steps".

National Lure Coursing in Rieti

The weekend has been more than successful, both on the field and conformation...

"Shon" - Shayraf Gran Pamir de l'Isle Rare

conquers another CACL!! What can we say?!

He leads for the Top Winning LC Afghan, he's had a spectacular year on the field...

And only one competition is left for the year.

Unfortunately one year must pass between the first and last CACL so we have to wait

to celebrate the New Champion to be... Great job as usual Hajni & Fabio!

Now at just 2 years and after few shows she has all her 4 Nat & Int Allbreeds CAC with several Breed

wins at her credit. She is now 'only' 2 Specialty CAC away from her Italian title. Anyway, she will still be sparingly shown and will further appear at very selected Specialties.

Also, she now needs 2 foreign CACIB to finish her Int title, so we're looking forward

to showing her somewhere abroad later.

knew he was being shown!

Well, hats off to his owners Mr Roberto Santini & Mrs Svetlana Zelenovscaiain in Spain.

Another good weekend for Tuuli aka Zoomin' Fairy del Gran Pamir!

- CAC CACIB BOS -

Beating (ALL) Champions and/or SBIS Winners!!

Thank You Judge Mr Des Manton from Ireland!

Judge's comment: "Pleasing overall shape and balance, good angles, front and rear.

Ok topline and depth. Presented in good coat and condition.

Moves easily with good grace and style, good front springy action."

Our current young Showgirl has been out very few times and is now at halfway to her Ch title. She also got her first Cacib toward the International title.

Anyway she will still be sparingly shown next, but watch for her...
