Keeper in the Specials ring after winning WB, BOW, BBE @ Evergreen AHC Specialty.
Keeper starts her show career in style by going WB, BOW, BBE for 5 points at the Evergreen Afghan Hound Club Specialty under Breeder Judge C. Gill Ullom.
This was a special day for many reasons, not the least of which is the honor of winning with four generations of Kaimar Afghan Hounds under Mr. Ullom.
Keeper's Mother "Rita" was WB, BOW @ the AHC of Greater Milwaukee under Mr. Ullom.
Keeper's Grandmother "Lilli" finished her Championship going WB, BOW, BOS at the EAHC Specialty show 12 years ago in 2000.
And finally, nine years before that in 1993 Keeper's Great Grand Uncle "Stedman" finished his Championship going WD at the AHC of Northern CA Specialty - becoming my very first homebred Champion.
Thank you Mr. Ullom for consistantly recognizing and rewarding 4 generations of Kaimar Hounds.

A Man, His Dog, And A Mountain!
Congratulations to Dr. Louis Nagy on your new family member - Echo - Ch. Kaimar Taza Hot Beach Echo of Persia (Drifter x Dinah).
Lou traveled all the way from Pennsylvania to Darrington, WA to travel with Echo to his new home - all he asked for was a photo of himself and his new dog with a "snowy mountain" background. Whitehorse Mountain and I were happy to oblige!
In addition to Echo, Lou is also "owned by" Echo's littermate Sawyer - so it was a real family reunion when Echo arrived in PA.
Thank you Lou for the love and care you provide to these two boys. People like you are what make it all worthwhile!

I am very behind in my news reports these days!
It's been nearly a year now since we moved into our new home in Arlington (Darlington) WA. Humans and doggies are all loving their new "digs."
We had a new litter born at Kaimar on March 23, 2007. They are growing up and have begun to test the waters on the show scene. We wish all the new owners best of luck with their kids.
I guess my New Year's Resolution should be to keep more current with my News!

We will have more exciting news to share at the end of March. 2007 is going to be a great year!
