November 16, Young Ikaros hits the rings!
Little (10 months old) Farao Anubis Ikaros, "Plupp", made his debut in the showrings today, by winning his first CC, Best Male (beating the top winning PH male in Sweden right now, and several other champion males) and BOS! The show: Swedish Sighthound Club Specialty Show in Uddevalla.  Judge: Ben Reynolds Frost, Sin's Ibizans, UK.

October 31, Halloween, Ramsan wins an All Breed Best In Show in USA!
Farao Anubis Ramses, 'Ramsan', becomes Americas 7th PH to win an All Breed
Best In Show! This was the 13th BIS given to a PH in USA.

Multi-Champion Farao Anubis Ramses won his first AKC All-Breed Best in
Show at the Sturgis Kennel Club show held in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  This
is a historic accomplishment for him as this makes him the first
imported Pharaoh Hound to earn this honor and distinction.  The breed
judge was Jane Forsyth, group judge was Julie Holm, and the BIS judge
was Keke Kahn.  The total number of dogs entered at this show was 1291,
and from what I have heard the BIS ring was very competitive as the
country's number one dog (the German Shepherd) and the number two dog
(the Pekinese) were also there.

So very well deserved by this magnificent, beautiful, exquisite Pharaoh
Hound! Words is just not enough to describe Ramsan, or the feeling I have
from this win. I'm so happy Ramsan finally (7 and a half years young) won
what he should have won many times, and much earlier in his life. But what
a super way to crown his show career, in the Autumn of his life!

Thank You a thousand times to Stacy Snyder, who does all the hard work with
Ramsan!!! You really deserved to crown him this way! (I only managed to put
a BIS-2 on him) I am the first one to know what a stubborn donkey he can be
to show, when he's having a bad day!

And Thank you so much, Dominic and Stephen, for to make this dream
possible, and for giving Ramsan the best of everything, everyday!


October 19, Lure Coursing training in cold Gothenburg
Xodus & Ikaros tried Lure Coursing for the first and second time, respectively. The loved it, and ran perfectly! 

October 3, European Winner Dog Show 2003, in Slovakia
IntCh Farao Anubis Nemesis "Jebski", is now also EW-03! Congratulations to her owner Rita Valdna Pruel!        20 PHs were entered.  Jebski is now also Slovakian Champion & Slovakian Club Champion, as she won her 2nd CC the day after, at a Sighthound show (judge André van den Broek) in Slovakia!  Congrats!

September 16, Hutto, Texas, USA, Ramsan wins the National!
Ramsan won Best Of Breed at the National Specialty for PHs in USA, over some 90 entered PHs! This is Ramsan's biggest specialty win ever, and I'm so proud and happy for my beautiful boy!  

This means he has won all three PH specialties held by PHCA during the same year! Only Samba has done this before, in 2002. But Ramsan is the first foreign PH to win the National Specialty!

Ramsan also won the prestigious Top 10 event, for America's Top 10 show Pharaoh Hounds 2002! The outcome of this enormous thrilling competition (with 3 different judges, an AKC judge, a breeder judge and a handler judge, giving the dogs points for each body part, the better the higher) was announced two days later, at the banquet (held at my birthday!) September 17th!

I want to thank you all pharaoh people, for one of the most exciting and interesting weeks in my life! It was so nice to get to know you a little bit more, and to finally get to see the faces of those names I know so well from the lists! I had so much fun, and a wonderful time together with friends! (I also got an award for the most authentic Egyptian costume in the costume contest, accompanied by the two Ramsan grand kids, Antefa's Naomi-Nekhebi and Antefa's Pyrramus!)
And also many, many Thank You for all congratulations, both in Texas, and privately in mails, and at the lists!

Ramsan is beautiful and a truly special guy! I have known since he was a puppy that he is the best PH in the world... now you all know:-) I'm so happy that more and more people recognize and appreciate Ramsan's unique beauty and wonderful temperament!

There will never be another one quite like him!

Blondie who showed very well this time, when no other Swedish competitor deliberately stumped on one of her rear paws, like one did at the World Show...
