Sire:  World Group Winning Am. Can. & Mex. BIS Ch. Elmo's Men Are From Mars
Dam: Ch. Elmo's Rock Star Evanescence.

Two top quality, very promising SHOW PUPS. More important, they are
beyond that. These pups are pre-potant BREEDING STOCK based on
limited Elmo lines on the bottom and refreshment lines on the top.  At 5 mos
old, both male and female are just about ready to go into the ring and win
MAJORS! Pls forgive and see beyond the poor photos.  With little photographic
help here I'd rather show you these substandard photos of fantastic pups
rather than just the opposite.

 
 

AFGHAN HOUND TEST & EDUCATION
(for the dummy, expert or even the breeder judges):

1.  Black?
    Answer: NO.  Blue!  The steel blue color popular in my line is born black,
    then gradually mists to a dazzling steel blue.

2.  Posed and stacked to perfection by a handler?
     Answer: NO, just gently positioned in their natural stance.

3.  Short neck?
    Answer:  NO.  The two inches of UNREMOVED hair above the shoulders exists
    and should never be removed on a puppy OR any Afghan Hound.

4.  High rears with no angulation?
     Answer: NO.  PROPER top and croup angulation is not suppose to be dropped
     at this age, as if a miniature adult.

5. NO muzzle length and refinement?
    Answer:  NO.  The unremoved hair on the muzzle and sides of head camaflouges their
    refined heads, it does not mean a short muzzle or a wide head.

6.  No saddle?
     Answer:  NO again.  The unremoved hair on the back does not mean no saddle and should
     never be removed until the hair drops out naturally. These are Afghan PUPPIES Dummy!

7.  Not A good RING tail?
     Anwser: NO, definitely!  These tails are natural age-appropriate PERFECT. Afghan puppies
     this young do not have ring tails. At birth their tails resemble a limp or strong string. As the
     pup matures the ligaments become stronger and a curve or ring will develop if that quality 
     has been bred into the line. The Standard clearly states "having a ring OR curve on the end".

Ch. Elmo's Martian Chronicles (Martin) has, in just a few months, skyrocketed
to NUMBER FOUR ON THE CHARTS in the USA. After finishing under the
capable hands of Ms. Sarah Rodriquez, Countrywind's top pilot Catherine Harker
amazed Kansas City to see Martin win the large Hound Group over many
Professionally handled Best in Show and Westminster Hound Breed winners at
one of the most prestegious midwest shows west of the Mississippi.
Congratulations to Catherine and all involved.
