I have decided to KEEP Super
www.hosanna1.com/Hounds/KanoXSunshine/ here.
He's just decided to blow his puppy coat, and since I'm too
crippled these days to handle that, I will have to get him clipped down.
He has an INCREDIBLE collection of genes, being line bred on my GCHS CH Hosanna Love Unfailing AND
CH Hosanna Voices Of The Wind (sire of current youngest CH in the HISTORY of THIS breed, "Lightning".
CH Hosanna Call Down The Thunder On Shining Mountain}. Though at this point I don't know if I will regain enough
mobility to get him in the show rings myself, nor have enough money to hire him a handler, I do have some
girls here who he should make BEAUTIFUL SOUND CORRECT HEALTHY puppies with in future, and
casting pearls before swine gets old.
In 30+ years of line breeding on my foundation, we have never yet produced any serious health defects,
including lung torsion, stomach torsion (bloat) or chylothorax (for which there ARE NO TESTS!),
and which ARE showing up in very well known lines. We have been producing GENERATIONS of CH dogs
as well as some Field Champions., See
www.hosanna1.com/AfghanHoundChampions/
I am astounded at the folks who are so willing to pay the BIG BUCKS to the greeders, who have spent almost
NOTHING to get independent evaluations of the quality of the dogs they are using & producing, and usually
ZERO health testing, and with little knowledge of genetics. There is NOTHING magic about a particular
name in a pedigree. If it is mixed with something else, you can NOT know what all you may get,
without EXTENSIVE pedigree research, as I did with all my foundation. The show ring is NOT just a game,
or something for the ego, it is for independent evaluations by experts of the quality of what you are producing.
Yes, it s said that anyone can finish anything if they drag it around long enough , and there is plenty of politics,
and some judges that seem to judge the wrong end of the leash. And yes, sadly some very nasty people, who will
make your life miserable IF YOU LET THEM.
I am proud that my kids and I, who were nobody from nowhere, finished our first 3 CH all by ourselves, with NO
professional handling, and when I did get a handler, she started with a half dozen that were already well on their
way to CH. Plus I finished another dozen Ch (and a GCH owner handled) after I ran out of $, and had to let handler go,
and most of those while I was half crippled.
If at the very beginning, when I started out, my dogs had NOT proved to be competitive in the show rings, I would
have made a decision to DISCONTINUE, as it is TOO MUCH WORK AND TOO MUCH MONEY WASTED
to produce mediocre results. OR if I really still wanted to do it, I would have looked for something better to start with.
And, if anyone cares, I'm living in near abject poverty these days, as after 30+ years, I'm still about 200K in the hole
financially, have 0 savings, and as always EVERY SINGLE PENNEY I EVER got for my dogs has been spent on THEM.
Those who have been here KNOW I am not living fat off my incredible dogs. They make my heart sing every time
I look at them, and WORTH EVERY PENNY they have cost ME.

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

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.
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:
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:
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.
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.
