Grandeur E S TA B L I S H E D 1 9 4 1 80 years! The Grandeur strain of today traces back in a continuous line directly to the foundation stock of the Afghan Hound. The line has shunned every fad or fashion that has made an appearance over nearly a century. Respect for every point in the Standard was our mantra. Years breeding to strengthen weaknesses and retain recog- nizable type with the soundness the breed needed to perform their primary function as a Sighthound, one bred to navigate hard, rocky mountainous terrain for days on end with large feet, hard muscle and sound running gear, coupled with correct temperament and the elegance that defines the breed. Grandeur Afghan Hounds have been awarded at the highest level. Top Sires, Top Dams, National Specialty Wins, Westminster Kennel Club recognition including a Best in Show and numerous Hound Group winners. Over 300 Best in Shows have been earned by a Grandeur Afghan Hound. Several Quaker Oats wins as Top Hound and Top Dog of All Breeds was accomplished by Ch. Tryst of Grandeur : The Top Winning Hound of All Time with 161 Bests and her sire Ch. Triumph of Grandeur is the Top Winning Hound Dog of All Time. Now, his son GCHB. CharterOak Traxx of Gran- deur continues the legacy as the Top Afghan Hound (All Systems) * for 2020 having been awarded an incredible 8 Best in Shows and 2 Reserve Best out of 15 Group Firsts in his first season shown.
