my Dagash Ksar Ghilane "Gashi". I assume       course doesn't have the letter "G" at the

                                               beautiful mixture out of both and in the
And then my dream came true: on the 3rd        domain of sport he is 100 % his father

parents! I can't describe with words how       racing titles, FCI World Racing Champion
happy I was...a puppy from my own male!        2010 and 3 times the Winner of the
                                               German Coursing Championships.
I was allowed to choose a name of my own.
It had to begin with "G" - I took my time as   After an exciting puppy and junior time, in
