New Season

A new season of lure coursing has begun with a 2nd place finish on Saturday April 28th with a Field Champion field of 9 Pharaoh Hounds. Sunday brought a Best of Breed win over19 Pharaohs, and... a Best In Field Win over a Whippet, Greyhound and Ridgeback run! What a weekend in Stow Massachusetts for little Zabelle.

Results for the year 2006

Finally, the A.S.F.A. lure coursings stats have been posted for 2006 and our girl Zabelle has made it to 1st place out of 111 Pharaoh Hounds running in the U.S.! With a 18 point lead over 2nd place, this little girl really ran her heart out.

New work on paper

I've been working on portraits in gouache on paper. Studies in Pharaoh Hounds around the house. Here is Zabelle in paint- Just what I've been doing in ceramic and glaze only on paper.

Gouache is a solid body watercolor, used just like watercolor. This is painted on a 100lb pressed watercolor paper, that is very heavy, acid free for a long life.

December Views

I now have some bas reliefs done, waiting to get fired- These are done with a colored slip, built up into a portrait. These will be posted then. In the meantime, here is Zabelle in her Best In Field Run from November in Griswold, Ct. Totally off the ground- this girl is flying!

Northeast Regional Invitational Gilbertsville, NY

November 4th & 5th brought us to Gilbertsville NY for th Region 9 Invitational ASFA Lure coursing field trials. My Zabelle needed to win Best of Breed to bring home (for the second year) the Luxor Trophy donated by Ben & Moe Brodeur after Luxor's winning the Gillette Stake at the International Invitational trial.
Saturdays course was about 815 yards long, she ran a prelim course, and a final that put her in for Best of Breed, won that course for a third run for the day, and won Best of Breed! Asked if we wanted to go for Best In Field we said sure and ran off against a greyhound and a Rhodesian Ridgeback, taking the BIF title for the day. We did some figuring, and found out she ran about 4 miles- flat out for the two days runs. This is an Olympic Class dog who loves to run.
