"Poet" Jamalai Kahlil Khyam was bred by the same breeder as our foundation dog
and first Afghan Hound, "Alf" Alfadeus Abdul Kamahl.
He was a GORGEOUS oyster brindle, but came to me at several years old, and shaved. He seemed a natural show dog. When I'd gotten a few inches of
coat on him, he won a Major Reserve (with entry of 17 dogs, and handled by me), the FIRST time he ever stepped into a show ring. Sadly, he turned out to be sterile, and being so short of resources, we let him go to a retirement home.

www.hosanna1.com/Hounds/COI/HosannaFoundation/ NOTE: I am a PRESERVATION breeder. I have only ever bred dogs I believed would produce SOUND (in body AND TEMPERAMENT), CORRECT according to the Afghan Hound Breed Standard
American Version, and beautiful Afghan Hounds. I have used detailed thorough methods for evaluating my litters, ever since my 2nd litter in 1997. There are links to these on quite a few of my puppy pages. I have taken LIFE TIME responsibility
for EVERY dog I've bred, and then some. There are links to photo pages of EVERY litter I've ever bred here
www.hosanna1.com/Hounds/ . We have finished and/or produced dozens of Champions, several Grand Champions, and the current youngest Champion in the history of this breed, also a couple of Field Champions including
a whole USA/all breeds #1 racing and coursing hound. In more recent years, I have (sadly) had to let most of the best ones go as well, since I had little hope of being able to get them all into a show ring, but in spite of my mobility issues and extreme lack
of financial resources am still getting in the ring with a few of my dogs. At the moment I have one who still only needs majors, and a couple with 4 or 5 points. When I was younger and more physically fit, I kept only the best boy and girl from each litter, and PUT them in the show ring, to get other's opinions of them against other dogs.
Those are the ones I bred from. Find the links to some of the litter evaluations on some of the puppy pages. I had 3 kids at once in Junior Handlers for while, me and my kids finished our first 3 Champions by ourselves.
www.hosanna1.com/Hounds/Juniors/ . I placed all the others carefully in companion homes. This is one of the oldest breeds, and IMO the most beautiful. Since I also have 6 kids, and 21 grandkids (so far), temperament
has always been of HIGHEST priority for me. Lynda Farley ~ Hosanna Afghan Hounds 532 Farley Road Edmonton, KY 42129 (270)432-7272 CST THIS IS A LANDLINE, PLEASE CALL, I LOVE TO TALK ABOUT MY DOGS! www.howtowinincourt.com?refercode=FL0002
