 | Friends
Here I want to introduce to you some of my friends, who have made my Afghans so successful, helped with breeding, grooming, showing and loving their Afghans! Some of them are as familymembers outside dogs also.
Without the help of my friends, it would be impossible to keep this hobby going. We also share many unforgettable moments at shows and other adventures:)
Soon I will add my Lhasa friends also!!
| Tuija Verho
Tuija is the owner of Ch Boannes Catwalk O´Verpatsha dam to the 2nd and 5th Ingenue litters, and new members Pugs "My", "Moosi", "Märtha" Tangetoppen Unbreakable News and Chihuahua "Mymlan" (Nasses baby), last but certainly not least is THE cat Erik, 7,5 kg!
We met at the Gordon Setter ring in 1991. Our children are cousins and we have been close friends a long time.
Tuija had Boxadan Keep Smiling 2 Me, the dam to the 3rd Ingenue litter. Her own breed is Pug, she was many years the top breeder of Gordon Setter under the prefix Kingpoint.
As she has allowed me to breed both her Afghan bitches, she has made it possible for me to continue with my breeding program. A BIG thank you goes out to her.

Lucia used to own Ch Ingenue Enzio Ferrari. I have known Lucia since elementary school and she is one of my closest friends.
