Ibn Farhan with Mr Gray © Rodarty
IBN FARHAN
March 8, 1986 – May, 2001 (15 years and 2
months), USA.
By Fahran of Mumtaz-I-Javanadmi out of
Tounsia Kahloul de la Treille.
Breeder: Mario Rechtszaid, owners Kate
and Carl Rodarty, USA.
“Ibn was a brother of Nubia from that very
large litter, and the one the Rodartys
kept for themselves, mainly because he was
the one they felt most resembled his
sire. Very different in type from Nubia, but
a very handsome guy with a very sweet
temperament. He was not as tall and
substantial as Farhan, who was quite a
sizeable male.
Ibn was the devoted and cherished
companion of the Rodartys for those many
years. He was never shown or anything and
1 5
of course he carried no kennel name
either since neither Mario Rechtszaid
nor the Rodartys considered
themselves breeders and had no
kennel prefix.
During most of his life he shared the
Rodarty’s home with their challenging
Azawakh bitch from Gisela Cook-
Schmidt’s first litter (the Reckendahl’s
"I" litter, first Azawakh litter in the
Western Hemisphere).”
By Jack McGuffin, USA.
Editor’s note: Ibn Fahran never sired a
litter but his lineage lives on today
through his two uncles Fursan and Furuq
of Mumtaz-I-Javanadmi.
