A Kind Of Magic del Gran Pamir

"Boris" is back to the rings turning heads after a 6 months break and pushes hard for Best Male!

"Pity he is only 13 months" was the judge's comment...

Shown by owner Alessandro Nava. Way to go!

His own page is coming soon...

 

 

                             

 

Hello, I'm "Xaver"!

Dietinger's Brianz Xaver at Gran Pamir

Daddy "Tigro" would like to wish "Xavier"

good luck in his new home!

He has settled down great with

older brother "Boris" (see above) and

he's winning everyone's heart!

 

We wish the best to Xavier and owners

Alessandro Nava & Marco Venturi.

 

"Xavier" was bred by Laura Dietinger.

Yeah, we're still alive and kicking although the rare updates on our Website don't really show it!

Many things have happened in the last months, and not always has "luck" (if you want to call it that way)

been by our side and some plans just went wrong. But seeing Tigro Babies photos just make us smile!

As we say Gran Pamir blooded dogs are dual purpose afghans...

Quality and function for shows & sport!

They are again proving to be among the top winning ones over here!

In fact, the team for the European Championship was made up of 12 Afghans:

3 were Gran Pamir dogs (co-bred by T.Azzolini), and other 3 were

Gran Pamir offspring bred by Way Up Kennel (Kyber kids)...

Way to go! The family is very proud :)

 

Not enough, we have good news from Kyber's kids!

Huge congrats to the lovely "Shakka" (Only One Way My Way)

who took 2 CC, Cacib, BOB & Group 3  at the back-to-back Spec & Int shows in Benevento!

He needs only one more CAC to finish, after few outings in Italy.

At the Int coursing held in conjuction the CACL went to

Cloudless Rainbow del Gran Pamir & Res Cacil to Vain Jane...

Congrats to owners!

Another VERY long break indeed!

Swedish Greyhound Club Specialty

Skokloster/Mariefred Summer Shows Weekend, Sweden

 

Multi Ch Karkati Pablo Picasso "Pablo"

4th BEST MALE/Reserve CC from the Open Class!

To his kennel mate and over some 15 champions, total entry about 50!

Judge Mr Michael White ("Baldrey", Uk)

Though with no dogs of her own to show, Emanuela managed to successfully pilot a dog

at this show once again, this time teaming up with and having the honour to show the lovely and

sweet Greyhound "Pablo", bred/owned by Mr Roberto Posa (Ch). Thank You!

 

We had fun all over the weekend, and always present was the very moody Swedish weather!

We spent a great time with friends, from the beginning right to the end when at night the

last few of us left at the empty showground went bothering the owners of Sunday's BIS

winner in search of a little party LOL - We hope to repeat the nice weekend soon!

 

                             

 

See you next year...

 

... at the Congress and National Specialty in Lovudden/Sweden!

OFF to the NORTH!

 

Once again, we'll be "road eaters" for the next couple of weeks,

eating up miles through Europe to attend several nice Summer Shows as visitors.

So, come up and say "hi" if you're either around the Afghan ring in Liege (Belgium),

Mariefred (Sweden) or Donaueschingen (Germany)!

We'll be either photographing or taping, but it'll be nice to catch up with friends :)

 

Have nice holidays, folks - welcome back to see some hundred pictures soon!

2007....

Another year has gone, and another has come!

2006 has been the quietest year for us (only) when it comes to showing.

We were out in Italy only a couple of times, so we don't have that much to report but that

"Tuuli" - Zoomin' Fairy del Gran Pamir was # 5 Afghan Bitch, out of two shows.

 

We'll see what the future holds, though we predict this to be another quiet year,

as so far only judging trips and a possible litter are in the plans.

 

Anyway, it's time to brag about our dogs' offspring, who keep the GP fly high

when we're not around. Kyber is so very proud of his successful kids:

Vain Jane - # 2 Afghan Bitch (Specialty system) in Italy.

Multiple CAC & CACIB and SBOS winner; CAC at Donauschingen '06 under Mr Wheeler;

CH Limoncello Sweet Taste - Multi Group, BOB and CACIB winner;

My Boy Lollipop - Multi LC-CAC winner in 2006;

Only One Way My Way - CAC & CACIB winner;

Here There N Everywhere - CAC winner, Spec. placings, now nursing her first litter.

Congratulations to ALL dogs and their owners! See more at www.wayup.it.

 

And it's soon time to celebrate a very special birthday of a special gentleman!

Freddie is soon going to have 14 candles on his birthday cake!

And he looks better than ever, healthy and playful!
