In the late seventies we obtained a gold Afghan bitch named Askaris Khanda & a T masked black & tan Afghan dog named Ishkamun Tawil. These two hounds were exhibited in England in the late seventies & early eighties.
In 1982 these two Afghan hounds accompanied us & our two children to Australia where we settled in a suburb of Melbourne called The Basin.
In 1985 we obtained our first Ibizan Hound a bitch named Inpu Jump’ n Bean, we called her Ziggy she was from the very first litter of Ibizan Hounds to be whelped in Australia.
In 1988 we moved from Victoria to Queensland & set up the Zashkar exhibition kennel in South Maclean 48 klms South of Brisbane. Our kennel name Zashkar was first registered by us with the Kennel Club in London & then with Victorian K.C. followed by the Canine Control Council Queensland.
We have exhibited our Afghan’s & Ibizan’s with many wins over the years. At present we have four Afghan Hounds & eleven Ibizan Hounds.
In September 2003 we established White Rose Boarding Kennels at Walloon which is situated 10mins from Ipswich & 45mins from Brisbane CBD.
At White Rose Kennels we cater to the pets of the general public and also to the Greyhound racing fraternity. With the Greyhounds we offer a whelping & rearing service that extends to the time the trainers take over to further develop the Greyhounds for a racing career.
Our exhibition hounds are highly desirable generating great interest to exhibitors not only here in Australia but on a global scale . Having connections in the USA, England, Canada, Norway, France & Spain keeps us on the cutting edge of our interest.
We are invited on an annual basis to, deliver the Ibizan Hound breed lecture to aspirant hound judges for the Canine Control Council Queensland. We invite questions from interested parties relating to Afghan Hounds, Greyhounds, & Ibizan Hounds. And invite you to also peruse the photographs on the other pages of our
website.
Thank you for taking the time to read this About Us page .
Kind Regards
Peter & Marion Furbank.
