This site id dedicated to our most successful Afghan.  Over the past 12 years we have had great success with several of our other dogs, Ch. Spectrum's Iceworks V Samos, "Jazz" and Ch. Procyon Madison Avenue V Spectrum, "Madison".  However, our most successful dog is by far Delaney.

"Delaney" was one of nine puppies in his litter.  He was also the last of the males in the litter to finish his title, all of whom earned their Canadian Championship within  12 months of their being eligible to enter the ring at 6 months of age.
Emergency surgery as a young puppy set back the start of his show career.
In July 2001 he was entered in a Hound Weekend, three Specialties in three days.
On his very first day and his very first show he went Best Opposite
in Sweepstake under Marilyn Domhoff at the Vancouver Island Afghan Hound Association.
The next day at the Western Gazehound Club specialty
he won the Yearling Sweepstake under Tony Galiano and went
Reserve Winners Dog under Ramon Podesta.
The day following at the Afghan Hound Club of Canada National Specialty he again won
the Yearling Sweepstake under Gail Mofford.
At his next show, two weeks later at the Oceanside Kennel Club show, "Delaney"
won the Breed and went Group 2 all three days, and finishing his title that weekend
under breeder judge Larry Kereluke. Since then his career has soared, with 84 BOB, 11 Gr. 1st, 17 Gr 2nd, 7 Gr 3rd, and 5 Gr 4th as well as 3 Specialty BIS including winning Best in Specialty at the Afghan Hound Club of Canada National in Auguat 2006 in Winnipeg
