February 16th 2015, 139th WESTMINSTER KC SHOW, New York, USA
America's most prestigious dog show - Westminster KC show - our first show of the year!
Storm and I made the trip all the way from Norway to participate at this iconic, world class event. We went for the experience - just to be there is an honor - and boy, did we get it! 12 specials (1 absent) and 1 class dog (Storm) were entered under Sighthound specialist Ms. Gayle Bontecou, USA. The line-up consisted of beautiful, top quality Pharaoh Hounds from the USA, Canada, Russia, Sweden and Norway.
Storm (Bazinga A Storm of Swords) surprised us all by going BEST OF OPPOSITE SEX with a MAJOR from the Bred-By Exhibitor class! This is the first time a Pharaoh Hound goes BOS from the classes at Westminster! Storm was breeder-owner-handled by me.
As if that was not enough, Summer (Bazinga A Dream of Spring fo Mia) won BEST OF BREED - as the first Pharaoh Hound bitch to win the breed at Westminster in 10 (!) years! Thanks to Summer's handler and best friend, Grahm Miller, for doing such a beautiful job with her.

Littermates at 22 months of age - going BOB and BOS at Westminster - unbelievable! Every breeder's dream come true, for sure! Thanks to everyone who has supported us and congratulated us. A special thanks to Emelie Arwinge for tagging along on this unforgettable trip, and for excellent company. Shared joy is a double joy!
More pictures to come!
