We became interested in the breed when attending our first dog show in San Marcos, Texas in 1995. Watching all these glorious hounds with their magnificant long flowing coat, we were mesmerized and captivated, and knew right then that we had to have one. We started asking at the shows and eventually an exhibitor referred us to a friend of hers, Toni King of Bakura Afghans. After speaking with Toni for a while we set a date to visit and see a litter she had. When we arrived at Toni's kennel, all the pups ran to me except for this one gorgeous cream girl who kept her distance - it was love at first sight! It was beyond her to show much affection, she was a true oriental princess and became the Queen of our hearts ever since. So much so that we decided to name our kennel in her honor - "Kia" Bakura's Kyandra Voodoo, JC (1995-2005) we will never forget you.
