I began my journey with Ibizan Hounds in 2002 when I acquired my first one, "Niles," from Wishsong Kennels. That same year, I was presented with the opportunity to own "She," also from Wishsong Kennels. She had achieved multiple group wins in the USA and earned an Award of Merit at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club. She served as an exceptional foundation bitch, and I consider myself fortunate to have had such a remarkable start.

 

Since then, I have had 5 litters and one co-bred litter, producing numerous Multiple All-Breed Best In Show and National Specialty-winning Ibizan Hounds. Many of my dogs are both American and Canadian Grand Champions, with three receiving the elusive Grand Champion Excellent title. I take pride in having bred and shown some of the top Ibizans in Canada. Notably, my dog Conejo holds the record in Canada for Best In Show and Reserve Best in Show wins. He has also earned well over 120 Group 1st placements.

 

My breeding program focuses not only on conformationally correct, typey, and beautiful Ibizans but also prioritizes their health and soundness of mind. I meticulously research pedigrees, reviewing the conformation and health of potential parents. Given the small gene pool of Ibizan Hounds, this research is crucial for the breed's future.

 

For those interested in an Amahte Ibizan Hound, I request that you fill out one of my questionnaires. While I prefer not to sell over the internet, I do ask for a personal meeting or a phone and email conversation. I aim to stay in contact with everyone who has an Amahte Ibizan throughout the dog's life and beyond, as some great friendships have developed through this.

 

Currently, I serve as the President of the Ibizan Hound Club of Canada and am a proud member of the Canadian Kennel Club and the Ibizan Hound Club of the United States.

 

Amahte Ibizans is not a kennel and my dogs are not kennel dogs.  They are all beloved pets.
