Greyhounds: And the BEST OF BREED is...

Well friends, looks like Annie and Finnegan are going to follow in Sylvia's foot steps. We took Annie to her first shows in Markham and this was Finnegan's second show. We have great news to report, Finnegan went winner's dog from the junior puppy class over the open dogs for 2 points and his little sister Annie came from behind to earn BEST of BREED over the specials for 2 points and went on to win BEST PUPPY in GROUP. Finnegan was quite content with the BEST of OPPOSITE SEX. Thank you to judge Dr. Richard Meen. We are so very proud of them. Thank you to all our fellow exhibitors that took the time to come over and congratulate us and comment on how wonderfully put together these two puppies are. We will soon be posting pictures of their win and some candid shots of them in motion. And so the 2009 show season starts!!!!!

Canadian Greyhounds at Arghandab

Arghandab Greyhounds believes greyhounds in Canada need more exposure and encourage all who are interested to get out there and show! For our part, we will be out and about from Quebec and Ontario, to the Maritimes and west as far as Calgary in the next year. We will also be wandering around the United States occasionally. We hope to see some of you out there on the road! This year our dilemma will be who to show where.

Can. Ch. Cebar Sylvan Spell, (Sylvia) made number three greyhound in 2008 with limited showing and at just two years of age, is looking better and better. This year we hope to begin her American championship, and will breed her to Cebar Addition Dracula when the time comes.

The dynamic duo, Finnegan, Gaia Finnegan's Rainbow and Annie, Gaia Fairlane Annie Greenspring, at 7 months are ready for the ring. Puppies are fun to show and you never know what they will pull on you. Although greyhounds seem aristocratic, they can pull a fun and fast one on you at anytime.

For information on our breeding plans or to update us on what is new in your greyhound world, feel free to contact us at arghandabgreyhounds@hotmail.com.

Here at Arghandab, Robert and Andre are vigorously against the use of greyhounds for racing and betting!
