National Kelpie Championship:

Kevin Howell with Karana Ripper II from David Lindsay on Vimeo.
Ripper is an Australian Kelpie female who placed 2nd at the National this September. She is handled/trained and bred by Kevin Howell, who is the co-breeder of my Kelpie, Ari (his photo is in a November post). Kevin handled and placed 3 females in the top ten at this year's National Kelpie Field Trial Championship. Ripper's dam is Karana Sami, and she is a half sister to Ari. Sami placed 3rd at this National.

Viewers have tried to comment, so I have opened up comments to the public again. (Due to repeated abusive language submitted by one person, I have restricted comments for a while.) The sporadic technical glitches persist. I see blank comments coming in frequently. Blogger needs to fix this, one of these days. Please email me if your comment does not appear.

Iferouâne

Iferouâne Idiiyat-es-Sahel is the birth name of my taidit. In Tamasheq it means wings.

She is named after Iferouâne, an oasis town in northern Niger, West Africa, about 1,000 km (620 miles) north of the Niger capital, Niamey. Just northwest of Arlit, capital of the Arlit Department in the Agadez Region, Iferouâne is located in the Ighazar Valley of the Sahelian belt, near the Tamgak Range. It is the gateway to the spectacular volcanic Aïr Massif mountains, which rises 2,000 meters from the desert floor.
