Charmeine, my love
June 27, 2007 - September 7, 2022

In the kabbala, Charmeine is the Angel of Harmony; nothing could describe her better.

I have been blessed to have such a beautiful soul by my side.
She died peacefully at home, struggling to recover from surgery. The tumor on her eye grew quickly, and since a couple of weeks it started bleeding a lot and she obviously suffered, so the surgery was the last resort, or she would probably have succumbed shortly to hemorrhage.

I just feel totally devastated. Cannot imagine my life wthout her. Though I'm fully aware -as many of you will say, that she had a long happy life..... I certainly did not accept seeing her weakening and winding down in the past weeks. She was so brave and strong. Beautiful inside and out.
I realize she shared a quarter of my lifetime...

I have been blessed to have such a beautiful soul by my side

15 years of true love in 2 pictures.....

August 2022

CH Soukistan Frozen Heart "ANDY" left us unexpectedly on August 1st
He was International Champion, French National Champion, Portuguese Champion, French Coursing Champion and French Veteran Champion.
He was loud, he was stubborn, but he was gentle and he was my doggie.
He just loved playing with tennis balls.
For those who knew him - and his legendary “Andy Shut Up” - he finally did it, for ever...

February 2022

Lulu - CH Soukistan Limited Edition, has been selected for the prestigious invitational "Concours General Agricole". This event gathers all best french cattle, dogs and cats. Dogs are the championship CAC winners, the championship Best Champions only, provided they are registered in France. (previously they had to be bred in France - which I find more logical)

Its a great honor for a breeder - Soukistan Afghans have been there 4 times already!

Unfortunately the show park does not allow motorhomes... while the cattle trailers and horse vans can enter. So I had to cancel my entry - renting a car, 2 hotel nights in Paris, a dogsitter at home, the bill is not compatible with my wallet. No need to say I was really upset.
