March 2025
In Stride is so excited to be teaming up with Nefer-Temu for this Pharaoh Hound breeding. Six were seen on ultrasound and Echo's due date should be April 7.
​
Bayek is Therea's decorated Pharaoh Hound male. He has be wildly successful in scent work and if a fantastic lure coursing dog. He was #1 LGRA and NOTRA Pharaoh Hound in 2024 at 6 years old.
​
Echo is a phenomenally talented lure courser who is just getting started in racing now. She finished her Championship at 6 months and one week with impressive placements at the National and Western Regional in 2022.
​
We expect versatile, driven dogs who have an off switch but need a job and should be very successful in the show ring as well.

Spring 2025
​On Amalu's next cycle, we plan to try a dual sired litter. The plan is to take Amalu (Ahimana Amalu) to both Koraidon (Xanadu Farms Imboran) and Moss (Xanadu Farms Amastan). Korai brings the strengths of correction proportions and vertical format to the pairing. We also want to take Amalu in a different direction pairing her with Moss who is athletic and outgoing. This litter will be eligible to do UKC and IABCA conformation and all performance venues. I expect level headed, calm puppies with an excellent work ethic from this pairing.

End 2025
This will be an AKC showable litter. The stud is a decorated, successful show dog from outside the United States. I have admired the stud for years and am excited at the chance to pair him with Nina. I am expecting breed typical temperaments, on the slower side to warm up. I expect fantastic sports potential and likely excellent show dogs. The stud will be announced officially closer to the time of breeding.​

Mid 2026
We have held off on breeding Birdie because of the chronic spinal issues that have popped up in her maternal line. Amidi's neurologist was adamant that Ami's herniated disc was clearly an injury from an impact (a collision with her sister) and not genetic. He stated that the rest of her spine was in impressive condition considering her age and the number of sports she plays. However, we also have wanted to be cautious moving forward with puppies down from Ami. As such, we have held off on breeding Birdie until she's past the usual onset age for spinal issues (3-5). Birdie is an active dog who enjoys sports and if she is still sound at 5, chances are extremely low of any genetic spinal issues (her cervical radiographs assessed as normal). I plan to take Birdie to Lucifer, who is a very drivey dog who is accomplished in performance sports. I do expect these puppies to be very driven with a strong need to work as well as very typical, classic guardian temperament. As such, I am prioritizing working, hunting, or performance homes for this litter. This is probably the litter with the highest likelihood of producing dock diving puppies because both dogs swim to retrieve. I will consider people interested in showing, but these are dogs that will need a more active job as well and we're looking for people with Azawakh, primitive breed, or guardian need experience for these puppies. Both dogs will hopefully be able to be run on game this year. Puppies from this pairing will be eligible for UKC and IABCA shows and performance in all venues including AKC.​
​
​
Homes will only be considered if they have a proven working history with their past dogs.
Early 2027
At this time we are looking at another F1 male to take to Birdie. We are looking at an open, outgoing chill male from uncommon lines to take to Birdie.

Early 2027
​Epiphany's (In Stride's Eyesight to the Blind) first litter is planned for shortly after she turns three. We will be taking her to Koraidon (Xanadu Farms Imboran). Korai is a very mellow Azawakh. He is guardy in his home, but very outgoing at events and absolutely loves to show - he regularly shows in Junior Showmanship with his kid. Epiphany is more typical of Azawakh temperament, though prone to avoiding conflict whenever possible. Both dogs have been excellent running Azawakh. Bioth dogs will have their OFA elbows done before this litter (due to elbow dysplasia being present a ways back in Epiphany's father's pedigree).​

2028
This litter has been planned since 2021. The intention was always to work between two separate bitch lines and two separate stud dog lines. This litter is the first time we will have crossed all four of those lineages. This litter will be AKC conformation eligible and is down from both of our F1 foundation Azawakh (Tabiri Asouf and Amalu). Quixote is a very sersious dog - he is thoughtful, incredibly intelligent, and has performed exceptionally at every activity he's tried. Epiphany is a bit more free-spirited and fun loving, but she is thoughtful and dependable. Both Quixote and Epiphany have been working service dogs (medical alert) since they were a year old. We are not looking to play service dog prospects with anyone outside our program at this time, but that should speak to the utter soundness of both parents' temperaments. They will both have elbow and cervical radiograph health testing before being bred, but have past the rest of their health testing to date.​
