...and my 20th home bred AKC champion since my first litter was born 12 years ago. He finished with 3 majors including a 5pt major Specialty win under breeder Sandy Simmons, his first points, this past August.

He is a litter brother to Charles Green and Gretchen Theile's Serrano, who is the #1 2009 AKC Lure Coursing borzoi, as well as Ros Barden's Grand Champion "Chilli" 2009 top ranking borzoi bitch in Australia. Another litter sister "Belle" is a BIF winner, Specialty winner, and finished Champion (and new mother).

If he could, my little red haired boy would sure appreciate knowing he didn't have to dress up anymore for those silly shows. He will be pleasantly surprised when the next time he is loaded onto and out of the the van, he will get to chase bunnies!

Special thanks and congrats to co-breeder Rita Linck-Rice for conceiving this "coursing/show litter" in her mind out of "Scandalicious" and Tom Golcher and KC Thompson's illustrious and very accomplished athlete, Kazan, years before it was bred. And thank you Tom and KC for allowing us to use Kazan and for cheering ALL his kids on along the way.

I just LOVE my beautiful, sweet, red boy Matador. He will now pass on the "show dog" baton to his little half brother Lagan who has been waiting his turn.

KC & I are so very proud of the accomplishments of this litter and all the get that have been produced by Kazan. It is truely a thrilling honor to see so many achieve so much.
