Märki Casanova, Beatrix
Animals have enriched Beatrix’ life from early childhood. Sbe grew up in company of a German Drahthaar and later a German shepherd as well as cats and rabbits. At the age of 10 years, another passion took place in her life: horses, horse riding and jumping.
1975, while living in Paris, she has acquired my first Afghan hound “Lagash” and since this time, a lot of them shared her life. She has bred this breed under the prefix “Bou Saâda” and many dogs have acquired champion titles (conformation and working).
