​

Amidi was the second Azawakh to join In Stride.  She came from Norma Spivey in Tennessee, one of the early Azawakh breeders in the United States. She was the puppy that just kept coming back to Kayley when she was picking, and so they went home together. As wiggly as Anubi is serious, this girl has wormed her way into a lot of different people's hearts.  She loves and thrives in trial and tournament environments and provides a lovely contrast to her Azawakh housemates and best buddies.

​

Amidi is open and outgoing with most people, but guarded when strangers visit the house.  She tends to charm people and enjoy it.  She is dog tolerant - she regularly coexists peaceably with a number of intact boarding dogs, but she does not care for pushy dogs that get right up in her face and she will snark at them.  Amidi's love of sports is why Kayley got her and she's very much lived up to her promise as a puppy.  Whether it's coursing or tracking she will always be enthusiastic and give her all.

​

In 2023, 8 weeks after her second litter, Gem, Ami's half-sister, collided with Ami while we were hiking.  This resulted in a herniated disc which required surgery.  Ami made a full recovery and continued to compete in sports following her surgery.

​

In spring of 2026, Amidi contracted kennel cough, which ultimately caused her to suffer endocarditis, an infection of the heart.  This damaged Ami's heart severely.  She is on cardiac food and medication for the rest of her life.  She is active and happy, but it is unknown how long she will live with how badly her heart has been damaged. We are working with a cardiologist to support her.

Amidi is Hips Excellent, Cardiac, Elbows, Eye, and Thyroid Normal
