Sire: Ch. Alaqadar De Fauves
Dam: Ch. Raushan Talitha Cumi
Tortie was our first Specialty Best-In-Show
winner, and he truly was in every way an afghan for the breed specialists. A grand mover,
and such an attitude – all on the end of a loose lead ! He went Best-In-Show at the 1st
Australian National judged by Sandy Frei. He was also an All-Breeds- Best in Show winner.
He retired from the showring as the Top Winning
Specialty Best-In-Show winning Australian Bred Stud Dog, with 4 Specialty Best-In-Shows,
and one Runner Up Best-In-Show. Subsequently his daughter Ch. Raushan Copan Cabana broke that record, then her greatgrand son Ch. Kjavu Air Jordan broke her record, and remains today (December 2003), the Top Winning Specialty Afghan in the history of the breed in Australia.
He is the sire of 8 individual Specialty Best-In-Show
Winners, including our own Khandhu Champions, Cracker Jack, Smoke Screen, and Stand
Out. As a sire, he has been the
backbone of many of todays successful kennels, and his worth cannot be over rated. His
most famous off-spring was Ch. Raushan Copa Cabana – retired from the showring as Australia’s Top
Specialty Winning Afghan Of All Time, and Australia’s Top Best-In-Show Winning Bitch
of all time. 43 Best In Shows ! Nine of them Specialties !
