​Welcome to our site where you will see some of our Afghan Hounds.  Most of our show team has mainly been a combination of the Tahkira Kennels and Cadiz Kennels. We are located on the Adelaide Plains 20 minutes from the Barossa Valley in South Australia. Photograph is of William and 'Rafale' Champion Cadiz Gold Rush.

Hi I am Christine Faint owner breeder handler of Afghan Hounds and Chinese Cresteds. Licenced to judge Hound Group 4 and Utility Group 6 and currently contemplating going for my Group 1 Toys
The first afghan I owned was over 40 years ago. The 
Cadiz Kennel owning and showing multiple Speciality BIS winning Afghans. Cadiz 
Pyreneans produced over 30 Champions. After my retirement of breeding the pyrs 
I  decided to breed Afghans under the Cadiz prefix in 2003.  Cadiz Kennels have shown, bred AND owned Best in Show winning dogs.

 The success of the CADIZ kennel started with the combined
  effort of Christine and Allan having always preferred to choose and
  exhibit the most excellent show dogs over having litters. We have had
  a lot of fun along the way having started out with excellent quality dogs
  including: Ch. Tahkira Lotus, Ch. Tahkira Queen O'Hearts, Ch Tahkira Chimney
  Sweep (in the 70s & 80's) multi SBIS Ch Tahkira Hot Gossip & his litter
  sister BIS Ch Tahkira Hells Angel(Dam of T Hell Raiser) 
Ch Tahkira Tiger Talk 
Ch. Tahkira Sheer Hell. litter brother to Am Gd Ch Aus Ch. Tahkira Hell Raiser 
Thanks to the guidance from Birgit of TAHKIRA KENNELS we have had many years of enjoyment with a solid foundation.Cadiz pedigrees contain many of the history's
great winners and most important blood lines which produce consistent quality 
generation after generation.
