We have been breeding and exhibiting our Pharaoh Hounds for the past 10 years. We have been the top producing breeders in the breed several times during this period. Our foundation bitch Am.Can.Mex.& Intl. Ch.Beltara's Twyla of K'Azar is the top producing dam of all time with 23 champion. She is the dam of our own home bred Ch. K'Azar Dbl Khanfederate "Rebel", the #1 Pharaoh in the AKC history of the breed. He has 4 Best in Shows to date, 111 group placements and is a potent sire of champions. He started his career with a Best in Sweeps at our National Speciality in California in 1991 and in 1994 Best of Breed at Westminster. A past top winner is Dual Ch, K'Azar Twyla's I-Ketcher, SC, known as Butterfly. She is a multiple group winning dual Champion who has also taken Best of Opposite Sex at two consecutive PHCA Specialities. The Western in 1996 and the National in 1997. Also a daughter of Twyla. Our current top winner is BEST SHOW - CH. K'AZAR KANSAS CITY OUTLAW, "GUNNER" to his fans.
We have also imported some of our dogs from England and have attended Crufts Dog Show in England and Championship shows in Italy. We have produced multi Best in Field AKC Dual & ASFA Field Champions and many other field titled dogs. We offer stud service by champions. Puppies or young adults as available. We welcome all enquiries about our wonderful breed. Our Kennel name is K'Azar, and it is pronounced "Kay Azar." Breeder referrals on request. We have produced a total of 56 Champions to date.
My work and writings have been published in the Sighthound Review, Dog News, Texas Dogs, 2 of the Pharaoh Hound publications in the U.S and in the Pharaoh Hound Newsletter in England and Australia AND my new book listed above. I keep up to date statistics on all the Pharaohs receiving breed wins and group placements. I also maintain an up to date pedigree data base on all Pharaoh Hounds from the AKC Stud Books and the AKC Awards Book. I was previously the editor of PHAST Times in Texas, our local Pharaoh Hound Breed Club, for the first two years of its existence.
