Barukhzy Breeding Below is a summary of the 18 litters bred in the Barukhzy kennels. It is important to note who the "breeder" was as this varied between Mr. Han Jungeling and his mother Mrs. Jungeling V D Berg. The original Jungeling family home was in Blaricum, located in the province of North Holland. The family had a villa there. With the passing of Mr. Jungeling (senior) the family moved to a smaller house in The Hague. Mr. Jungeling (Han) did not live at his mother's house for most of the 1930's or during WWII. For a period Han Jungeling lived in Amsterdam, he did have a couple of hounds when he lived there and he bred one or two litters by himself whilst living in Amsterdam. Our understanding is that Mrs. Jungeling bred through the 1930's but did not breed during WWII. The two wartime litters are attributed to Han Jungeling. It appears that Mrs Jungeling resumed breeding after the war and up to the time of her passing in 1954. Thereafter all Barukhzy breeding is attributable to Han Jungeling. As a researcher I like to gain an understanding of the what and why's of a kennels breeding program. A particular difficulty in achieving such an understanding of breeding programs of this early foundation era is the complication of "distemper". Barukhzy suffered outbreaks in their kennel. There were references to the losses in a general show report about 1929 in 'De Hond', and in an article that Mrs. Jungeling wrote herself in 'De Hondenwereld' in 1954 she states: (Sad kennel memories from the years 1929 and 1932).- "And notwithstanding the battle to keep our dogs we lost two of our imports and seven of our homebreds. The desert bitch Begum of Cove (Meta), the mountain dog Abdul of Ghazni (Blackie), three more desert-Afghans, three Salukis and a Cairn Terrier. The first loss was on April 30th 1929, the 9th and last loss occurred on July 30th." The second outbreak (1932) occurred after a show in Luxembourg during the summer. There are no names in the article that describes the 1932 disaster.
Summary Of Barukhzy Litters Full details (list of litters, littermates, pedigrees can be found on the next page) We have records of 18 Barukhzy Litters, the first breeding occured in 1928, the last breeding occured in 1967. The first 8 litters involved one of the parents being an import. 6 of these first 8 litters were sired by the import Baber of Baberbagh, and 4 of these 6 litters were out of Shahib of Washdarb, the other two were out of Barukhzy's Kalindi. Litter #1 was a pure Bell Murray breeding involving the imported Dal Kanda of Frizley and Begum of Cove . Litter #3 involved the import Nadir of Ghazni and Barukhzy's Soeraya, a Ghazni sire, and a Bell Murray dam which came from Litter #1. A significance here is that Barukhzy exprimented in breeding together the Ghazni and Bell Murray lines but were not satisfied with the result. After litter #3 all Barukhzy breedings were based on Ghazni type, either directly by use of their Ghazni imports, or via their Ghazni imports offspring. Barukhzy kennel is synonymous with Ghazni type ,a preference the kennel adheared to, from 1933 through to 1967. We noted above that 6 of the first 8 litters were produced by the union of Baber of Baberbaghh and Shahib of Was-darb, Both Baber and Shahib were offspring of Champion Sirdar Of Ghazni, so breeding intently to these two hounds, reinforced the influence of Sirdar in the Barukhzy breeding program. Barukhzy's Khan from litter #2 is by far the most influential Barukhzy Afghan hound. This gold dog went to Miss Eta Pauptit of the Van de Oranje Menege kennel in the Netherlands. Barukhzy's Khan influenced directly, or indirectly, the first 15 litters in the Van de Oranje Menege kennel, either as father (2 litters), grandfather (11 litters) or great-grandfather (2 litters). Barukhzy's Khan was the sire of Achmed Sjach van de Oranje Manege, the latter siring 30 litters. Thus, the influence of Barukhzy Khan diectly and via his son Achmed Sjach is self apparent.
Nadir Of Ghazni An interesting issue at Barukhzy is the minimum use of Nadir Of Ghazni in the Barukhzy breeding program. Nadir was acquired as a 'replacement' for Abdul of Ghazni. Nadir lived to be 10 years of age but he only sired one Barukhzy litter (that was litter #3 in 1931), .Nadir Of Ghazni was used subsequently by a Swiss breeder and was bred to the Barukhzy bitch - Baruhkzy's, Begum (who is litter sister to Barukhzys Soeraya). That breeding was done by Paul Hausmmann of Sirdar Afghan Hounds in Switzerland. We are still researching this Swiss line, We don't know if Nadir Of Ghazni's ownership was transferred to Paul Hausmmann or, whether Baruhkzy's Begum was imported in whelp to Nadir. But the ensuing litter is recorded as being bred by Paul Hausmmann. Barukhzy's Begum was registered in the Dutch studbook with the owner as G van Spijk from Basle, Switzerland . Begum was born 2/14/1928, and obviously ended up as a puppy or young bitch in Basle, otherwise the owner's name would not have appeared in the Dutch studbook. Mr. Hausmann was a well known sighthound judge in Europe, We believe he was active up to around 1980. Ghazni/Bell Murray "Type"/Competing Breed Standards We mentioned Ghazni Type and Bell Murray type earlier. From 1927 through to 1947 there was a controversy in England. There were two separate Afghan hound breed clubs. In 1924 The Afghan Hound Club, founded by Bell Murray enthusiasts, wrote their breed standard describing their type of Afghan Hound. In 1927 The Afghan Hound Association, founded by predominently Ghazni enthusiasts, wrote their breed standard describing their type of Afghan hound. There were strong feelings by both breed clubs that only their type was correct. This conflict threatened to tear the breed apart as Bell Murray exhibitors declined to exhibit their hounds under Ghazni preferring Judges, and Ghazni exhibitors declined to exhibit their hounds under Bell Murray preferring Judges. The relevence of this conflict to Barukzye is that in 1930 Han Jungeling had been invited to judge the breed at the Ladies Kennel Association Championship show. Let's listen in his own words how he handled this challenging situation..., Ladies Kennel Association Championship Show, May 14th 1930, Afghan Hounds - Remarks with a judge's report. by Han Jungeling, "An invitation came for the Ladies Kennel Association Championship show ,per May 14th, 1930 in London, and both English Afghan clubs made promises to cooperate because they expected an impartial judgement from an outsider. As a result my judging debut was not in the Netherlands but in England. All the well known hounds were entered for this show and it was for the first and the last time that both Afghan camps presented themselves. This judging debut is engraved in my memory, and in my recollections I see the best hounds that were entered back then still clearly before me. Hounds like Champion Sirdar of Ghazni, Champion Buckmal, Champion Taj Mahip of Kaf and several others. Hounds of completely different types, falling apart in two categories, hounds of the Ghazni type and hounds of the Bell Murray type. When I started judging the large male class I placed the hounds of the Ghazni type at one side of the ring and, the hounds of the Bell Murray type at the other side, and when I was asked why did so I answered: "I am under the impression that I have been asked to judge two entirely different breeds and, in order to make that clear I have divided the hounds in two groups". Subsequently I judged the two groups and had the best out of the two groups compete with each other for the placements. Champion Sirdar of Ghazni got first place and a Bell Murray Afghan, i.e. Champion Buckmal got second. I had absolutely no preference for one of the two types and I found both hounds phenomenal. A hound of the quality of Sirdar of Ghazni could, or should, be able to win anywhere even today, but a hound of the type and quality of Champion Buckmal would not stand a chance except under me, because the current judges do not know this breed type. However the type of Champion Buckmal still exists in Afghanistan. Han Jungeling (Judge) Comment from Steve Tillotson re the above Han Jungling report - Mr Jungling was quite brave to take on this challenging judging appointment. It was a no-win situation for him. Whichever "type" he chose as his winner would please one set of fanciers, while disappointing the other set of fanciers. In the event he handled the situation in a thoughtful manner. We have posted photographs from the show, and details, of individual class results with Mr Junglings critique of the exhibits. This show report can be found here Baruhkzy's Khan
Barukhzy's Khan from Barukhzy litter #2 is by far the most influential Barukhzy bred. This gold dog went to Ms Eta Pauptit of the Van De Oranje Manege kennel in the Netherlands and produced directly, or indirectly the first 15 litters in the Vdom kennel, either as father (2), grandfather (11) or great-grandfather (2).
Mrs. Jungeling V D Berg and Han Jungeling were the first kennel in Europe (Outside the UK and Ireland) to seriously breed Afghan Hounds. The bloodlines were exported to various other countries and Barukhzy was very important in the development and establish of the breed in Europe.
