Kingsleah Amazing Grace: Best of Breed Progeny Group, BEST IN SHOW PROGENY GROUP
Well, Gracie actually deserving separate posting but here it comes this time.
Here is Grace pictured day earlier on grooming table yet without having a clue what a great Birthday she will have!
We are shamelessly proud how beautiful our dear Grace looking after having two large litters, 9 puppies in each at 2012 and 2011. Latest puppies are currently 9 month old and just like after previous litter at age 9 month old when she went and took CACIB, now she got 8 years old and is now Veteran , so we thought it is right to step in to rings for her again. Not to mention how lot she loves shows herself, too.
Gracie is in super good condition and if someone might think we kept her wrapped or separated from puppies then big NO- she had freedom to come and go and she liked to be with her pups whole the times in same rooms and in garden, you can see her on lot photos in E litter album.
Remember the lovely photo of Gracie going to Sunday morning walk followed by her babies taken last summer?
Now this Sunday Gracie took a BEST IN SHOW PROGENY GROUP followed by her lovely kids Entel, Soffi and Lilli from both litters;)
Oh yes we are shamelessly bragging our Gracie and she can seen in show rings whole this summer with pride and joy! Thank you so much to BIS Judge Mr Laurent Heinesche / Luxembourg

Great weekend in Lithuania, there was two international shows at same weekend at 2-3.03.2013, first day it was Lithuanian Winner -2013 show and at Sunday it was Vilnius Cup-2013.
Again, like day earlier, our team was represented by three Al Khabara Afghan Hounds:
Lilli (JCH Al Khabara Graceful Me) and
Bengu (JCH Al Khabara Guess I’m Amazing) – both again in open class
and little Entel (Al Khabara Easy Breezy Me) in Puppy class.
First of ours one to step into spotlight was Entel in to Puppy class.Like day earlier, Entel got a very nice experience from judge Mr Željko Žilnik from Croatia. Entel loved to show and move and she achieved Best Female Puppy in breed aswell Best of Breed Puppy in breed award.
Entel pictured at left.
So Entel goes to big BIS Puppy ring also today evening. Such a good experience for her!
And now it was time for Lilli and Bengu to get prepared for their presence. In they went with pride and joy, as you can see from these photos:
NEW Title for Lilli ! LITHUANIAN WINNER -2013!
What a great weekend we had in Lithuania!
This is going to be long story, be prepared to stay with us for reading and lot photos;)
Two international shows, Lithuanian Winner-2013 and Vilnius Cup -2013 was held at 3-4.03.2013 in Vilnius. Our team was represented by young sisters Lilli (JCH Al Khabara Graceful Me) and Bengu (JCH Al Khabara Guess I’m Amazing) and little Entel (Al Khabara Easy Breezy Me) in Puppy class.
At first day there was Lithuanian Winner-13 show where BOB and BOS winners get country winner titles – the most important show held once in year in each country.
Lilli and Bengu were both entered into open class because they just lately got 2 years old. For Entel it was very first travelling so far as 10 hours in bus.
She did do great and enjoyed whole trip.
Entel is from our E-litter whose puppy class age have been from January to March so they unfortunately have not yet much experience like our previous litter who had whole summer full of outdoor shows and travels.
So we had no idea how Entel performing when I entered to ring with her. We were not only ones with Entel, we had competition as well! Maybe I was more concerned than Entel itself – she was stoic calm and enjoyed to meet judge, I must say meet judges, because there was also a exercise judge in ring so she got double examination. And if one might perhaps think if I was really concerned if I win or not then you are wrong- I was concerned and hopnig that Entel get nice experience at judge examination in first order and she did – both judges were so gentle handed experts, great pleasure and great experience for Entel!
First Entel did not understand anything about moving around she just tried to follow me, such a baby yet, but then she got it and we went all the way smoothly and nicely.
Entel (Al Khabara Easy Breezy Me) and Tentel (Al Khabara Extravaganza) 7 month old, were in show this weekend.
Entel was entered and for her it was very first show ever and for Tentel it was second show – tho both times she was in shows just for fun and to offer company for her litter mates. Entel did not understand anything about show yet – she enjoyed to meet people and sit on everyone’s lap or be cuddled rather than be on “catwalk”, but she’ll take it next time for sure, stay tuned;)
Entel was Best Puppy in Breed and was described as “well bodied for age” just like her brother Emerald a month ago. That to became stamp of our breeding;)
Tentel loved to be with her owner Jane and made the jaw dropper trick to all of us when we saw her move like a pro with Jane later after show was over. How we regretted she was not entered! Watch this girl in rings at future! Pictured is Tentel in move !!!
Very first show at 2013 and guess who was first to open the season?
Emerald, 6 month old, from our E-litter!
Now, that was very special event, we were just AMAZED to see Emerald and we think he is gorgeous with his beautiful head and eyes and overall look.
Became as stamp of Al Khabara, described by judge as well developed body for age. Correct type and proportions. Head strong, enough muzzle. Strong topline.
Thank you so much judge Ligita Zake !
