his championship 09/06/14, under Mrs. Marilyn Spacht at the Kenosha KC show! He began working on his Grand Championship title the next day, going BOS over 2 specials for his first 2 GCH points under Ms. Sandra Anderson (R).



How the West Was Won!

Nair and Rania went West to the Los Lunas, New Mexico cluster Oct. 9-12, 2014, and fought it out for major points!
Nair notched *17* Grand Champion points, including THREE back-to-back-to-back BOS/Select Dog 5 point majors, in those four days!
Sister Rania was WB/BOW the last day of the cluster for a 5 point major! She now has 10 points, both majors, on her championship title!

Nair went Select Dog for two GCH points under Mr. Elizardo Valadez on Thursday, Oct. 9; BOS under Mr. John Wade for five GCH points Friday Oct. 10 (pictured above); BOS under Mr. Jack H Ireland for five GCH points PLUS third in a large Owner Handler Hound Group under Mr. Nelson R Huber, Saturday, Oct. 11; and Select Dog for another 5 points Sunday, Oct 12 under Mr. Huber.  Nair's BOS awards were to a top ten saluki bitch.
Rania iced the final day with her 5 point BOW major, and I am thankful to Daphane Lowe for showing her in Best of Breed while I handled Nair.

Rania is now Ch. Shahanshah Cimmarron Mira Rania! Our beautiful girl finished her championship on January 23, 2015, at the Chain O' Lakes KC, under John P. Wade. She also took the Winners Bitch point the day before under James G. Reynolds.

So much has happened...the Nair/Rania pups have grown up and some have left home, a few have started showing! 
There was a second litter born in 2017, by Ch, Amrika Shahanshah Sinai x Ch. Shahanshah Cimmarron Mira Rania and from the litter we have S. Chaco Canyon and S. Theodora Aliya. More on them on their pages presently.
The pups we retained from the Nair x Typhoon litter, Wolfie, Papageno, Sarastro, and Constanze, are thriving, and Wolfie and Papageno have their first three point wins last year, 2019! Another brother in Colorado is now searching for majors and a sister, S. Pamina Al Qadim, is currently (as of September 22, 2020) ranked number 1 in ASFA lure coursing!
Shahanshah Mirage, sister of Typhoon from the 2015 litter, has 15 points and one major so we are looking for that last major, difficult to do in the year of the covid pandemic, 2020. Another litter sister, S. Tempest, has 6 points in very limited showing, including a fabulous 5 point win out East! We have litter plans for Mirage as well as for Theodora in the next two years, and hope to include that information on separate pages for them soon.
