AZRASHAN AFGHAN HOUNDS
(Australia)

---

AZRASHAN
est 1970

Line breeding to the top winning, producing "OLD ENGLISH" bloodlines of yesteryear, to produce consistent Type, Quality, Soundness and Temperaments. We breed to the standard and not the whims and fancies of unknowledgeable judges. We are dedicated to "THE BREED", not the show ring and our aim is to PRESERVE RATHER THAN CHANGE.

Our lines are predominantly "SHAZKHAN", "BLETCHINGLY", "HORNINGSEA", KHORRASSAN", "TAKABBOR" and "CARLOWAY".

The KHORRASSAN lines were the original lines before the 60's. Our pedigrees go back 12, 15 and 17 generations on most lines to the original imports from Afghanistan, producing a blend of some of the oldest bloodlines left in the world today.

We still produce the refinement and quality of the English type from the 50's and 60's in the knowledge that Afghans are hunters, not working dogs, and heavy dogs can't hunt.

Our pedigrees are tightly line and in-bred to such top winning and producing champions as:

•BLETCHINGLY (no longer in England since the 70's) "BOGEYMAN (IMP UK)", "NICOLA (IMP UK)", "ZELDA", "HILLSMAN", "BAZARA", (of CARLOWAY) "ZARA" and "TAJOMEER.

•The HORNINGSEA's "MAJID", and "SHEER KHAN", plus many more non-champions.

•The CARLOWAY's, "WALIWOG", "WATSATORI", "YUSSEF" and "JALALABAD BARWALLA OF CARLOWAY" (who was not a CH)

•TAKABBOR's: included (non CH) Takabbor TIFFIN who possessed the gene to produce the Aloof and Dignified attitude that is so sadly lacking in most hounds today.

•The KHANABAD bred half brothers, "KHANABAD AZRAVI of VISHNU" and "HORNINGSEA KHANABAD SUVARAJ".

•The KHORRASSAN's: "ZARDIN", "CH MOONBEAM", "STONESBY ASMARA OF KHORRASSAN", "SUNRISE". These were the original bloodlines before the kennel's disband in 1962 and the original tightly line-bred stock was lost forever.
