November 17th, I got a new Champion today!
Farao Anubis Kahiro received the last CC for his Swedish Championtitle today!
November 1st-15th
Back home from UK. The trip included the successful mating of Antefas Kahira to Lileo's Orpheus. Oh, yes, and I visited some very nice PH breeders as well, and met a lot of beautiful red dogs! At Beayncara "my" one year old boy "Issy" looked better than ever, I'm sure he will do great in the future, as soon he's out! And Ramsan's young kids at Anharbn are also looking great! A certain red dog pup is like Ramsan's clone, quite unbelievable! I wish them all luck for the future. I also visited the big and thrilling Egyptian collection at the museum in Swansea, nice!
Ramsan is Top PH and #9 in the Hound group at Group Champions Competition 2002 in England!
And this after being shown only three times in UK!
November 9th-10th
Ramsan won BOB and Best Of Group 3rd, in Alabama, USA.
October 25th, Ramsan is America's current #8 Pharaoh Hound!
A Top 10 placement will render him a place in the prestigious "Top Ten Competition" held in Texas next September! Of course I have to go over for the five whole days of PH events, shows, coursing and the named Top Ten PH from 2002! Like a Christmas eve for a PH lover, I wouldn't miss it for the world! I'm lucky to also be able to celebrate and spend my birthday in USA during this PH week! I was told someone will fix a party for me...:-) How lucky I will be to have all my favorite PH people around me for my birthday! Could it be better?
Today Ramsan also won BOB over USA's #2 PH, and went on to a Group 2nd placement!

Ramsan have had a tremendous success since his arrival to USA, less than a month ago! And he got his American Championship within this month! This weekend Ramsan won another Group 1st in USA, judge Elaine Rigden! And a Group 3rd under Michael Canalizo! And he was BOB at all four shows! (short listed in the group at the other two)
Ramsan gained his American Championship!
With this win Ramsan became the first Swedish owned PH ever to gain this title! And he's also the second American champion from my breeding.
I want to thank Ramsan's co owners, Dominic and Stephen, a million times for making this (until now) dream come true! And especially for taking care of Ramsan in such a superb way, giving him everything he wishes for, and more! I know, and have seen how much he loves and adores you (and the other way around!) you make such a handsome team!
Of course I also want to thank Stacy and Michael for their perfect handling of Ramsan!

Skokloster PH & Sighthound Specialties!
We are very happy and pleased to announce that at the PH specialty our young (not yet two years old) up and coming star Farao Anubis Aakhe, "Åke", won Best Dog, CC and BOS under Merymut's handler Marjory Williams! Aakhe was also Best Working Class PH in Show. And our Ramses Progeny Group won Best In Show group! Kahiro won Best Young PH in Show! Kahira was placed Best Bitch 3rd. Nemesis Divina placed 3rd out of 7 in Junior bitches. Not less than 44 PH's was entered.
At the Sighthound specialty Aakhe was placed as Best Dog 5th, out of 33 entries, under Joan Goldstein.
At the Lure Coursing trial both Aakhe and Kahiro did very well, and was placed 3rd and 4th out of 11 entered PH's, of which several was LC Champions.
On our way home we visited a long lost son of Ramses, I haven't seen him since he was a small puppy. What a surprise! It is always nice with pleasant surprises! Four years old Farao Anubis Ra is the very image of his famous father! Big, dark and beautiful, with a superb front, and super movements. And he is off lead most of the time, and very well behaved, and has never been sick a day in all his life. I would do almost anything to get that super beautiful dog back, but unfortunately for me, his owner loves him;-) But he will come out at shows occasionally. Pictures of the two "clones", father & son together (of course they became best friends from the first second), coming soon!

In USA, Safi , Farao Anubis Ramhira Ziffa, did a fabulous job this weekend! She won big on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Puppy Bitches: 1st
Winners Bitch: 1st
Best of Winners: 1st
This gave Safi a 5 point major! So, she now has a total of 6 points. There
were about 21 bitches that she beat and I think about 17 dogs she beat!!!!!! (Safi is only 8 months old!)
On Sunday (the Trenton Specialty, 83 PH's), Safi came in
second in the Puppy bitches 6-9 months Sweepstake class, and in the regular Puppy bitch 6-9 months class she came in second also.
But, it was certainly Safi's weekend!

First Safi won the 6-9 months class, then she won Winners Bitch, and then Best Of Winners, and then ended up as BOS (Best of Opposite Sex) ! Only 8 months old!
4 PH's were entered, both American and "Swedish" ones, but Safi was the youngest!
April 20th
Ramsan wrote breed history (I have to give him a pen set soon:-)when he gained the Swedish Lure Coursing Champion title as the first and only (to date) Swedish Pharaoh Hound ever! A super day (sunny and hot) on a field in the south of Sweden. But it started bad, with a broken car, as usual!
I never thought we could make it to the trial in time (or at all) that day, and begun to give it up! Ramsan, Åke, Kahira & I arrived with friends to the trial, in the last minute! I just got a quick glance at the starting list, and which colour they should wear! Seven PH's were entered, 4 males and 3 bitches, most of the Swedish breeders were represented.
1st Ch Farao Anubis Ramses won with 71,25 points
2nd Farao Anubis Aakhe, 70,50 p
3rd Faouziah's Ankhcheperure 70 p
4th Ch Antefa's Kahira 68,50 p
5th Ch Enigma Joyful Spirit 67,75 p
6th Ch Farao Anubis Sibuna 65, 25 p
7th Ch Siphra's Super Trouper 62,75 p
In Germany my Estonian "twins" Jebbe (Farao Anubis Nemesis) & Blond Farao Anubis Mossad) won BOB & BOS, CC's, CACIB's and the German Winner title, "Berlin Sieger -02"! Judge Kari Järvinen.
April 14th
Safi was shown in USA for the first time this weekend! She behaved very well and won her class "Puppy Bitches", and went on to Winners Bitch, to compete with the grown ups for the points.
In Sweden young Viggen won his third CC and ended up as BM-3 after two Antefas champion males, and Nemesis Divina, Blondie, was BOS Puppy, all at a sighthound club show in Skara, near where we live.
April 7th
We were at the coursing track today, and Kahiro "Viggen" ran his last required lap to get his LC-license!
April 1st(!)
Aakhe, L'Odéah & Menkhar got their Lure Coursing licenses, and Kahiro just need one more run to get his! So, soon I will have 6 PH's to start at trials, exciting!
Hopefully we in Sweden soon get together 12 entered PH's at the trials, so they will provide the breed with 2 LC-certificates at each trial, one for the best dog, and one for the best bitch!
Little Blondie and Isbjörn also tried to catch the "rabbit"! They ran very good their first time they "raced" in their life, though even puppies in training must have muzzles on at coursing nowadays, due to the Swedish wildlife protection rules.
