Isabelle and Otto, parents of our upcoming litter. I have always loved Otto's dad Ch. Oshanameh's Is the Pope Catholic. However when we decided to have a look at his son in October 2012, we decided for Otto (Xciting Rattle N'Hum). Otto is a very classic and correct Afghan with timeless beauty, a well-balanced mover and with a stallion-like attitude accompanied by outgoing temperament! We are extremely happy the mating between them was successfull! **** Great news over 2012 **** Our lovely young lady Thuja Candy Kisses ended up as the no. 1 Afghan Hound female 2012 in Holland according to the www.windhondeninfo.nl system. Of course we are really thrilled about this news, considering her mother Ch. Thuja Better Believe It was the no. 1 Afghan Hound female in 2011! | |
