Owned by Nightwind Kennels in Germany Scarlet came to stay with us in April 2005 to be shown in the UK. Martina & Thomas Kempken and we have been friends for many years now and on a previous visit to us to collect Nash to take him home they brought Scarlet along for the ride and to show her at the Yorkshire Afghan Hound Ch Show in 2003. To everyone's surprise and delight Scarlet won the bitch CC!!

I was honoured that Martina & Thomas entrusted this little Princess to me in 2005 and together Scarlet and I attended 8 shows, being placed in all but 1 and winning the 2 CC's required to make her a UK Champion! We believe she is the first overseas resident & owned Afghan Hound to achieve this since the Pet Passport allowed dogs to be brought to the UK without going through quarantine.

Princess Scarlet, as she came to be known during her stay with us, was bred in the USA by Elite Kennels. She soon made herself right at home here, her favourite place... stretched corner to corner across the bed. I missed her very much when she went back to Germany.

In 2005 she was mated to Flash, Multi Ch Jacosta Black In A Flash to Elangeni, and 8 wonderful babies were born. Her daughter Asia joined us in the UK on 19th of November 2006.

Update - Sept 2007 - Scarlet gave birth to 8 lovely puppies by Multi Ch Parque du Manuel Galopin, go to Nightwind Kennels to see the 'O' Litter.

Update - Dec 2008 - Exciting plans for Scarlet in spring 2009. Although Martina was not planning to breed Scarlet again, we were talking about who the best bitch would be to use the Genesis Navajo Red semen I had available on, she felt that Scarlet would be ideal and I totally agree!!! So we are planning to use it in the Spring 2009, and I cannot think of a better mating, a real 'once in a lifetime' oppurtunity. Thank you Martina and Thomas.
