Tuareg poem...
Ekkaalegh deffer giiten n amekkar
Wa ikfen ii n tiit tekkooret amiar
S eed yowet ed aglin midden awaal
lekkiim afoos yennoottef d amawal.
I'm amazed by the works of God,
Who blesses a mere violin*
So that where it plays men fall dumb,
Only stirring a hand to pull the turban over their eyes.
(Note)
*"the one who has an eye that isn't living," referring to the soundhole of the Tamasheq single stringed violin, the amzhad, traditionally played by women in the evening."

Ishagahan, db X Elhennet Kel Dahoussahaq
A litter is due the latter part of August, insh'Allah, and the pedigree:
Elhennet Kel Dahoussahaq was a precious gift to me from her breeder Monika Kessler, Kennel Kel Dahoussahaq, Switzerland, and is a maternal grand-daughter of Khamseen Al-Ifriqiya, a male bred by me and exported to Heidi Graner in Germany many years ago. I brought Ishagahan back as a small puppy from Niger five years ago.
Serious inquiries are invited.
