Fall 2026
Epiphany's first attempt at a litter didn't take, so we're changing gears and trying a different stud. This boy compliments Epi in every way. He's a laid back boy with and easy nature and good bone and compliments her bubbly, happy personality. He is only just being introduced to sports but he has a serious working side and puppies from this litter should be nice moderate performance prospects. Epiphany cycles once a year, but we are starting her on supplements which encourage more frequent cycling, so we hope she will be in season starting the end of summer. This will be an AKC showable litter.
There are potential spots open on this interest list.

We have held off on breeding Birdie because of the chronic spinal issues that have popped up in her maternal line. Amidi's neurologist was adamant that Ami's herniated disc was clearly an injury from an impact (a collision with her sister) and not genetic. He stated that the rest of her spine was in impressive condition considering her age and the number of sports she plays. However, we also have wanted to be cautious moving forward with puppies down from Ami. As such, we have held off on breeding Birdie until she's past the usual onset age for spinal issues (3-5). Birdie is an active dog who enjoys sports and if she is still sound at 5, chances are extremely low of any genetic spinal issues (her cervical radiographs assessed as normal). I plan to take Birdie to Moss, who is a drivey dog who is accomplished in performance sports and has a phenomenal off switch. I do expect these puppies to be more driven than average. We will consider people interested in showing, but these are dogs that will need a more active job as well. Puppies from this pairing will be eligible for UKC and IABCA shows and performance in all venues including AKC - this is one of our last non-AKC showable litters.
Limited spots available on this list.

Firefly is still quite young at this time, but this pedigree crosses dogs with beautiful format along with fantastic movement. Voltaire is an incredibly successful show dog with an extremely affable personality. Firefly is an extremely intelligent, thoughtful, serious, inquisitive puppy. This pairing will produce AKC show eligible puppies.
There are limited spots on this list and we are prioritizing proven show homes.
Late 2027
Drama is a happy, silly girl who takes strongly after her mother Amidi. She was returned to us at ten months old for alleged (never diagnosed) rage syndrome. Since then we have had her assessed by a third-party trainer. We have also tested her in the show ring and multiple sports and have not had a single issue with her temperament. Drama is a finished Champion in two different conformation venues, lure coursing, straight racing, and weight pull. She is one of the most talented performance dogs we have ever produced. Drama will have her cervical radiograph health testing before being bred, but Drama has passed the rest of their health testing to date and Bakari's is pending. We have considered a wide variety of studs for her and ultimately we landed on using Anubi a final time. No matter what stud we choose for Drama, we are going to draw criticism. Anu has had three previous litters though only eleven total offspring. We had previously taken him to Amidi for a repeat litter (the first was a singelton) but it didn't take. This pairing echos that one over half a decade later. We love the puppies that Anu has produced and there is a common saying - if you like a dog, breed to his father. He has been incredibly healthy and will be 10.5 at the time of the breeding. His puppies have been healthy and he produced driven and very stable and secure puppies. He is well proven and we stud who will produce excellent dual purpose dogs on both the field and the ring. We are watching the maturity and health of our D Litter closely and while we hope this breeding happens, all the stars have to align to proceed.

Mid 2028
We took on Tamotait somewhat unexpectedly but she has turned out to be a wonderful dog. She is a gorgeous mover with a lovely silhouette. Her first two weekends out in AKC she earned three majors including going Best of Winners for a five point Major (unheard of in the breed). She is four singles from her AKC Championship. She was extremely easy to start in running sports, which is something of an anomaly in the breed and is working toward her racing championship. Essam is a lovely mover and an easy dog to live with. He has great drive and we look forward to seeing what he can do on the field. Both dogs are lovely movers and we expect Ira to improve upon Tamo's head and hopefully improve on her off switch in the house - she can be rather busy at times though still very reasonable. This breeding is entirely dependent on Tamotait passing all her health clearances. We aren't at all opposed to breeding on a borderline or even failing result under the right circumstances, but Tamo's genetics safely exist a variety of places and do not feel like these circumstances would warrant it. There is a chance we will take Tamo to one of Essam's siblings.
There is currently room on this interest list.
Late 2028
This litter has been planned since 2021. The intention was always to work between two separate bitch lines and two separate stud dog lines. This litter is the first time we will have crossed all four of those lineages. This litter will be AKC conformation eligible and is down from both of our F1 foundation Azawakh (Tabiri Asouf and Amalu). Quixote is a very sersious dog - he is thoughtful, incredibly intelligent, and has performed exceptionally at every activity he's tried. Epiphany is a bit more free-spirited and fun loving, but she is thoughtful and dependable. Both Quixote and Epiphany have been working service dogs (medical alert) since they were a year old. We are not looking to place service dog prospects with anyone outside our program at this time, but that should speak to the utter soundness of both parents' temperaments. They will both have elbow and cervical radiograph health testing before being bred, but have passed the rest of their health testing to date.
