He also won his Bred By Exhibitor class over stiff competition both days of the Carolina Afghan Hound Specialty shows.
Sunday's Judge, Jane Sheppard, had this to say in her critique.
"The Bred by Exhibitor Dog Class was quite a challenge for me since the overall quality was excellent.
My first in this class( Ziv Hii's Element of Fire) was a stunning brindle with a gorgeous head and eye, wonderful natural muscling and wonderful shoulder assembly. He covered ground very well in addition to a nice gait on the down and back."
Sometime in the near future Blaze will start running for the bunny!
Blaze was awarded Reserve Winners Dog at the Afghan Hound Club of Northen New Jersey Specialty May 2nd under Breeder Judge Nancy Self.
Blaze is now living the highlife in Tennassee with his new dad Anthony Czerniak, his two sons, and Bella the Cavalier.
