Al hamdullilah.

Ndaki...

...I have always admired Ndaki (bred by Gabriele Meissen, Tombouktou's Azawakh, Germany, and owned by Gudrun Buxe, author or the German weblog Leben mit Azawakhs).

The top photo is young Ndaki on the beach...the bottom from just today, in the snow...he is now ten and a half years old. Al hamdullilah. Thanks to Gabi and Gudrun for the photos.

yup...more pics...

...from top: puppies (who knows who they are!?), almost seven month old Azil (Aslam X Semteende), Raba (Idi Ilaman Afelahlah X Tiwul), Aisinda (Sahelian-bred) and Ataram, full brother of Raba. Al hamdullilah.

flora AND fauna....

...look at the SPINES on some of those critters!!!

T'naasheet again...

Yubai in Mexico City...

...I am glad his owner Carlos has a good eye for photographing Azawakh...and sends me many nice photos of Yubai (Aslam X Semteende).

when I look at Taytok...

...the image of this Tamasheq woman comes to me. The photograph was taken by a photographer fo the National Geographic Society. I am not using it with their permission...but well I am linking to them so maybe it is OK. Insh'Allah.

the beautiful Taytok...

...was gifted on the 2000 ABIS Expedition to the Sahel to Oliver Becker; ABIS member, Germany, and close friend of Gabriele Meissen. Gabriele has asked Oliver to please bring back a female puppy for her since she was not able to go on the expedition...having been on two previous expeditions...and also the timing was not right for her to leave her veterinary practice. Little Taytok was gifted to Oliver by a family of the Kel Daoussahaq (or Dawsahak). Because Gabriele and I bred two litters in partnership out of Taytok she founded a dominant line of my breeding program, al hamdullilah. I kept her daughters Imouyene and two sons Alatokh and Ailal out of the first litter sired by Alem'nemehal; and I kept the daughter Tawinak and her two brothers Enhal and Talak out of the litter sired by Kusaylah. Al hamdullilah. I find this photo of her to be particularly interesting...mysterious even...quixotic...as is she. The photo was taken by Gabriele in Germany.

and yes...more pics...

...Alatokh (Amenukal X Showq), Azil (Aslam X Semteende), two photos of pregnant Batna, al hamdullilah, and then Kidal (Fasiqqi X Imouyene), sire of Batna's coming litter, Insh'Allah.

a few pics...

...not so many this time! From top: Aisinda (one of the three taidit I brought back from the Sahel, gifted to me by a Fulani family), then Tiinaade (Fasiqqi X Tawinak) with sleeping Iferouane (Fasiqqi X Tiraout), then Semteende resting in the warm sun, al hamdullilah.

two male puppies still available...

...well, really only one is available but since I am happy to retain either of them for breeding, Insh'Allah, I am showing both. They are out of the Fasiqqi X Tawinak litter, al hamdullilah. From the top: five photos of Safdar, then five photos of Amaray. If you would like further information please contact me.

the new genes continue to spread...

...on the 4th of November Buraida Idi n'Illeli (bred by Sebastian Poller, Azawakh Idi n'Illeli, Germany...and owned by Eva Krulišová, Tin Akoff Azawakh in the Czech Republic, whelped a litter of three female puppies and two male puppies, al hamdullilah. The sire of the litter is Amadahl Idiiyat-es-Sahel (Alem'nemehal Idiiyat-es-Sahel X Taytok), bred in partnership with Gabriele Meissen. Amadahl is owned by Barbar Schlatterer, Germany. I am very happy for Eva and her new litter, al hamdullilah. Buraida was my favorite from the litter bred by Sebastian, a taidit of excellent type and a very beautiful and typical expression. I hope the puppies will all grow to be strong, healthy and beautiful, Insh'Allah. Click here to view the full ancestry of the litter.
