Halle won Best of Breed at the
Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Feb 16, 2015.
She was Top Dog Hound in the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) system in 2012, as well as the No. 1 basenji.
In 2013 she came back to the U.S. where she finished the year under Sergio Espejo’s handling as the No.1 basenji both in the U.S. in both Breed and All Breed Points. She was No. 2 overall in Breed and All Breed points, and No. 1 in Grand Champion points for the year.
She has earned her Bronze and Silver level Grand Champion awards in 2013. Halle is the sister of Gabe, and G Ch Ahmahr Nahr’s You Are the One, aka Dandy, owned by Mary DeWitt, who was a top UKC Basenji in 2012.
In 2013 Halle has come home to try her hand at coursing, and is on the prowl looking for a “husband.”
Excerpts from Canadian Dog Fancier, July 31, 2012:
"Halle was the 2012 Best in Specialty Show at the Capital Area Sighthound Club Specialty in Ontario, Canada.
She is an AKC Grand Champion, the No. 1 Basenji in Canada to date (2012), a Top Dog Hound, 2011 Basenji Club of Canada National Specialty Winner, and Specialty bitch.
She won the Manitoba Hound Club in 2010, Best of Breed and Group I, as well as the Best Puppy in Group, the Basenji Club of Canada National for 2011. Won the Best of Opposite at the Basenji Club of Canada Specialty in 2012 and won the Specialty Booster 20k .
Her brother Gabe, MBIS-MBISS G Ch Ahmahr Nahr’sThe Lost Angel Gabriel won the Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Specialty, the Williamette Valley Basenji Fancier’s Regional Specialty in January 2012 , the Indian Nation Basenji club Regional Basenji specialty in July 2012.
Research shows this is the first brother/sister pair that are No. 1 in their breed in Canada and the U.S. simultaneously. In the few occasions where they have been shown together, they seem to alternate the Best of Breed and the Best of Opposite. They keep things “even-steven” that way."

In 2012 Halle went to England for Crufts, and won a placement there.
Halle was Select, got the first Award of Merit, and Gabe's cousin, Magic was the Best of Breed Owner/Breeder Handled and AOM in December, 2012 at Eukanuba.
In 2012 she was AKC ranked no 1 in GCh points and earned her Silver level GCh and is nearly to gold (Jan 2014). Halle got a RBIS at White Mountain in Sept 2012 and was ranked No 2 basenji in both breed and all breed points by AKC.
She got a Eukanuba AOM/ Select in Dec 2012 and a Westminster AOM in February, 2013.
We believe Halle and her sibs are the only litter ever to have 3 regional specialty winners in it.
Halle won the Regional Basenji Specialty in Portland in Jan 2014. She was also a Westminster invitee in 2014.
