His amazing temperament was to be passed on for generations, right up to the present day in fact
and is clearly demonstrated by his b/m silver son CH. CALAHORRA BELOW ZERO (Al) who
was born in 1992 from semen frozen for sixteen years, and who has passed this same amazing joie
de vivre coupled with tremendous, natural pride of race on to Dutchy's new crop of grandchildren
who now grace the ring. "Bjorn" already has three champions to his credit, one is a Championship
show R.U.B.I.S. winner, another a multi B.I.G. winner, and the third finished his title just out of
the puppy class. Bjon is also the sire of CALAHORRA SAHARA, Champion Puppy in Show at
the Queensland A.H.C. Specialty this year. Dutchy excelled in absolute balance, rock hard topline
with beautiful croup and tail, superb silky coat texture, arrogance, fabulous eyes and expression,
springy movement and lightness of foot, all of which Bjorn has inherited and reproduces. Bjorn is
out of b/m silver CH. CALAHORRA FLEDGLING (Ch. American Eagle at Calahorra (imp
U.S.A.) ex Ch. Calahorra Rowena) and she traced twice to Dutchy in five generations. Further
details about Fledgling will be found under her dam Ch. Calahorra Rowena.
During this period we also mated AWAZIR DEERA to the beautiful ENG. AUST. CH. WALIWOG
OF CARLOWAY (imp U.K.), and their son, AM. CH. CALAHORRA HIGH NOON, became the
first champion Afghan Hound in Hawaii, his last points - to our great delight - being awarded by Kay
finch. Our bitch from that litter (the only one!) B/m gold CALAHORRA HOSANNAH was never
shown due to a broken leg in the whelping box, but became another extremely important producer for
us, with five champions and is an integral part of the Calahorra dynasty.
Dutchy mated to the Kamal/Ch. Calahorra Aphrodite daughter, EMIR DZUM CALAHORRA
(litter sister of Dhamma Pada) produced CH. CALAHORRA RENOIR (litter brother to Calahorra
Rabelais, B.I.S. at the A.H.C. of N.S.W. Specialty under Joan Wonnacott (and when in turn Renoir
was mated to Hosannah, the result was our heavenly b/m gold twins, Sydney Royal B.I.S. winner
CH. CALAHORRA BENEDICTUS and Brisbane Royal B.I.S. winner, CH. CALAHORRA
REQUIEM, the only brother and sister of any breed to achieve these awards.
