Puppies!

Like the old song, this is the goal when you breed the next generation of Pharaoh Hounds.  You start with a bitch with excellent health, good temperament, and high quality conformation.  Then, in the normal course of things, you begin the search for an excellent sire - excellent health, good temperament, and complementary conformation.  This means you try to find a dog that doesn't double up on the faults of the bitch and that strengthens her strong points.

Our Current Plans - Late Fall/Early Winter 2011

Rooney will be a Daddy this year (or early next year)!  We all dance to the tune of Mother Nature, but we expect it will be around November when Rooney will be bred to a lovely young lady, Group-Placing Ch. Bija Princess Phoebe Nefertari, JC - Tari to her friends.  We expect lovely, sweet babies with a definite streak of court jester in them!  I asked Tari's mom for a description to put on this page.  I was really tickled when she sent me Totally Awesome Red  I ngenious one!  You can't argue with that.  We Pharaoh folks definitely love our dogs!

These two complement each nicely and we expect typey, healthy puppies with well balanced, sound, strong movement.  In addition to a nice phenotypic match, this loose line breeding (9.9% COI) brings some of my favorite Pharaoh Hounds into genetic prominence - handsome Harry, practically perfect Oberon, and the incomparable Khan, to name a few.  I'm very excited about this cross!

Send me an e-mail if you are interested in a puppy early in 2012 with a super temperament plus great potential for showing, lure coursing, and performance.
