Welcome! My name is Lynda Hicks. My husband, James, and I live on a ranch about 50 miles north of Austin, Texas. We are fortunate to share our lives with each other, our children, dogs, horses and cats.

I became involved in purebred dogs in 1971, when Suni, my first Afghan Hound puppy, came to live with me. For about 20 years, through the 70's and 80's, I was very active in the sport of purebred dogs, showing both my own and others' dogs in conformation with great success.

Appreciating the great diversity of these wonderful animals, we also ventured into lure coursing and obedience. Although breeding sparingly under the "Suni" kennel name, we produced numerous conformation, field and obedience titled Afghan Hounds and Salukis.

In the early 90's, with 3 children heading into their teens, it became obvious that in order to give proper attention to the kids, the dog activities would have to be temporarily suspended.

In December, 2002, at the age of two, Midas (Ch. Zebec King Midas) came into our lives thanks to the generosity of Carl Sanders and Walter Greene. Midas is from an all champion litter, and in addition to being an exceptional Afghan Hound, is a great joy to live with. His bloodlines reach back to the foundation of many of our previous Afghans.

We also appreciate the generosity of top breeders in helping us acquire additional foundation animals:
Sevion - A georgeous "old-style" Afghan, who literally owns the ground he walks on - and who goes back multiple times to our previous bloodlines, and to some of my personal dogs;
Kazoo - Our incredible moving import from top Australian bloodlines;
Sky - An exciting young daughter of the incredibly moving Aires, US and Canadian National Specialty winner;
Opal - Our spectacular blue and cream domino from Karakush.

2005 also brought the joy of our first litter in many years - out of our King Midas bred to his Aunt Phera.

We are excitedly looking forward to participating in shows, coursing and agility trials with our wonderful hounds. We hope you enjoy visiting us and our Afghans on this site, and look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones!!! .
