After been injured during the international coursing in Amermont, and few weeks at rest, Favi did very well at the last competition of the year in Beringen. She ended with the 7th place / 18 entries. Her shoulder and finger held up well.
For her part, Indhira's knee (stupidly injured in the garden when playing with Oriana) is still too fragile too take any risk. She will stay far from coursing grounds for several more weeks.

Sad end of the weekend, our beloved Bahiya awaited our return from the Liège dog show to cross the rainbow bridge
Our heart is broken, all we can do is to remind of the wonderful moments we shared with her on the show rings, coursing grounds, and especially in our daily lives. She gave us the succesful "I" litter in 2009, with Indhira, Icyana, Ismaïla, Indiana, IntaJeriko & Istaphar.
But above all, she was the most wonderful companion, always happy.
We will never forget her, a part of us is gone with her ....

Favi and Jilson have both been submitted to the detection of ocular defects as well as echocardiography and were declared "healthy".
February, 17th, 2015
Sad news today, the echography revealed that Indhira is not pregant :(
We are so sorry for people who were interested by this breeding intented to produce healthy puppies for show and coursing :(

Well, that's a little earlier than expected, but if all goes well, the last Abd El Shiraz Afghans puppies should be born about March 26! This will indeed be our last Afghan litter (39 years after the entry of the first Afghan in my life !).
I will wait to be sure to unveil the pedigree of the litter, but I can still say that Dad as Indhira is multi champion beauty AND work (and tested healthy eyes and heart, as Indhira).
January, 18th, 2015
Indhira is in seasons ! May be soon a new (and last) afghan adventure at Abd El Shiraz !
January, 17th, 2015
We are very happy. We did the eye defects testings (13 tests) and echocardiography for our two girls, Indhira & Favi, and they are both clear ! We can think seriously to bred them !
