Ch. Timaru Wild Abandon, CC, CM is owned by Jan Dawson of Chilcoot CA and Lesley Brabyn. Summer has proven herself a very versatile saluki by obtaining her bench title, along with her Coursing Championship and Courser of Merit titles. As a yearling in 2006/2007, she qualified for the Grand Course and tied for 2nd place at the Saluki Breed hunt. The following season, she co-owned the ASA Christmas Cup and the ASA Mia Cup and completed both her Coursing Championship and Courser of Merit titles. Summer finished the 2006/2007 NOFCA season as the #10 Hound and #5 Saluki.
She is pictured above, lower left, winning Winners Bitch for a major under breeder/judge Mr. Nick Bryce-Smith (UK) at the Oakland KC show April 2007 shown by Lesley. On the lower right, she is pictured with Jan in the ring enroute to a Best of Breed win. Summer finished her AKC bench championship in style with three California majors.

Timaru Wild Ride, CC, CM, NACC, NACM, CBC is "Harley". Harley shares the wonderful homes of Jean Warner and Joel Scheinberg (Las Vegas NM) and Vicky Clarke (Unionville NV). Harley enjoyed his novice season in the field by earning 104 points towards his CC and CM, which included winning the ASA Fatimeh Cup. He also won the Whitetail Invitational in March 2007 and went on to win the Front Range Challenge in October of the same year. Harley repeated his Fatimeh Cup win in 2007 and earned both his Coursing Champion and Courser of Merit titles at two and a half years of age.
Harley's second season in the field was more than outstanding. He placed in or won eight out of nine hunts which include winning the ASA Fatimeh Cup and the Saluki Breed Hunt at the Grand Course, where he also went on to place 6th overall in the mixed final. He finished out the 2007/2008 NOFCA season as the #3 Saluki, #6 Hound and was the SWCC High Scoring NM hound. Harley finished his NACA titles by winning first place both days at the 2009 Whitetail Invitational!
After being sidelined with a broken toe for the early part of the 2009/2010 season, he is back and his first weekend out in January yielded back to back hunt wins, including earning his third ASA Fatimeh Cup! He's quite a consistent performer and a tribute to his pedigree.
Harley has now earned both his breed and mixed 500 point awards, plus finished his CBC (The Coursing Conservancy) Breed Championship! Quite an accomplishment for a New Mexico hound and Harley now owns titles from all three Open Field Coursing organizations and joins housemate and half sister Ch. Owl Ridge RFR Angel Fire CC, CM, CBC, NACC in this honor!
