A Top Twenty Afghan Hound 

Multiple Specialty Best in Show Winning,
Group Winning and Multiple Group Placing,
American and Canadian Champion
HIGH KALIBER’S MARKED CHIVALRY, JC
“Gavin”
 

 
3 years ago we were introduced to Neva & Jay Johnson
(Afghans of High Kaliber) at the 2006 AHCA Nat’l Specialty Show
held in Lancaster, PA.  It was during that week that we “chose”
Gavin from a photo album of 9 beautiful brindle babies…

A couple of weeks later, we visited his home in
Warrenton, VA to evaluate him…
That night he came home to Lebanon, Pennsylvania.
 

 
 
We’ve grown in the fancy together…
 
 
 
Now he is a:
MULTIPLE BEST IN SPECIALTY SHOW WINNER,
 
 
Afghan Hound Club of Northern New Jersey – 5.1.2009
Mr. Mike Lancashire, Drishaun Afghans, UK

Finger Lakes Afghan Hound Club, Ltd. – 7.3.2009
Ms. Romayne Strilka-Switch, Houn’ Hollow
 

GROUP WINNER AND MULTIPLE GROUP PLACER,
 

 
 
and a CHAMPION IN 2 COUNTRIES
 
 
 … with all of his accomplishments being owner-handled
 

Thank you to:

Mr. William Bergum BOB 
Harrisburg KC
Ms. Joan Anselm  Gr. 1, BOB 
Nita Nee KC, Inc.
Mr. Richard Reynolds Gr. 4, BOB 
Nita Nee KC, Inc.
Ms. Karin Ashe  BOS 
Shawnee KC, Inc.
 for Gavin’s recent wins

He’s a fierce competitor with a stallion-like attitude
 in a standard-sized package…

Selectively campaigned this summer, he has maintained his position 
as a Top 20 Afghan Hound against tough East Coast competition.

Gavin has often been described as an easy mover- encompassing the
correct amount of lift and ground-covering forward movement.  He
also exhibits a beautiful outline on the stack with a masculine head, 
dark almond eye, hard expression, smooth shoulders, solid topline
and excellent forechest.
