The History of Fox Briar
Our Logo circa 1980
Fox Briar was established in 1979 as an equestrian center focusing on Hunt Seat riding, breeding & training Arabian Hunters, when proprietor Fay Craft branched out on her own. Our canine population was limited to " Spur " the Beagle & " El Shannon " the Afghan Hound.

The hunters were shown exclusively by Meghan Craft.

In 1987 we purchased our first Afghan show dog, bred by the Quilley's of Canada. We began breeding and showing Afghan Hounds, followed by Salukis under the Badakhashan prefix.

We have returned to our " Fox Briar " nomenclature as a salute to our beginnings and as a rememberance of our fox hunting days in England and America.
