Spiro is our first Pharaoh Hound. We waited about a year before we got him home, because I asked Britt-Marie for puppies almost right after the previous litter had delivered to new homes. After a year of waiting we were so happy to have him home! Spiro was one of three bigger boys and he was my favourite from the moment I saw the first individual photos. The puppies were 4,5 weeks old when we went to see them. I tried to look at the other boys too, but somehow my eyes were just stacked on Spiro (in fact on Benedic, because that’s what he was first called).

Spiro has beautiful big ears, horseshoe shaped marking in the chest and white tip of the tail. He is about 63,5 cm high. Spiro was castrated in October 2007. We have anyway attended Farkkushow (the unofficial Finnish PH specialty) and some unofficial Match Shows with him. When we were for the first time in Farkkushow Spiro was just 15 weeks and 6 days old. Spiro's other ear wasn't up yet and he was lieing and peeing in the ring, so the judge chose him as the most sympathetic PH in the show! There is an own class for males without testicles in Farkkushow. Spiro has made a hat trick winning that clas three years in a row! Everytime he has got also HP, so he in other words he has been BIS male without testicles in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Spiro has also won four Match Shows here in Turku: first time was in September 2006 at the age of only 6,5 months!

Spiro is a playful and energetic boy who has a very strong hunting instinct. Spiro's best score from LC fiels is 510 points and he has two LC CCs. Spiro also has a racing licence. Spiro’s  other hobbies include some blood tracking and training obedience just for fun.

Thank you Britt-Marie for letting us have this wonderful boy!
