Zyath Kennels, sometimes called Zyath Estate when referring to the entire complex including the stables, is a large kennel run by Zai and Rika Hanoka. Founded in 2012, it is located in Aswan, Egypt, and has a strong focus on dual purpose sighthounds and gundogs. Zyath's specialty includes the Canis Nudari, Egyptian Pointer, Novraki Hound, Sloughi, Saluki, and other sighthound and primitive breeds such as the Xolo. The kennel has produced numerous Conformation champions, grand champions, and working champions in hunting over our many years being involved in the kennel community.

Zyath's Protection Branch is an offshoot of the main kennel, still located out of Aswan, Egypt. This section focuses on the FCI Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherd, Belgian Groenendael, Irish Guardian Hound, and KNPV-style working mixes for police work, protection sports, herding, and large game hunting. Many of Zyath's Novraki Hounds, Firenze, and Rajapalayam also spend significant time trialing and training with the protection branch. Our focus is building dogs to Protection Working Champion, Police Dog certification, and/or extensively titled in relevant work.

Zyath Sled Program split off from the main kennel and moved to the United States (Winchester, Maryland) in 2016. Previously specializing in the Siberian Husky, the kennel now works almost exclusively with hunting spitz breeds such as the Kaijin Wolfdog, Norwegian Elkhound, Norwegian Black Elkhound, and draught breeds like the Anubian Spitz and Canadian Eskimo Dog. The kennel's main sled team is called the Slush Runners and they participate in sled dog racing, weight pulling, freight pulling, and drafting sports as well as breed specific activities like large game hunting.

Hōrōheki Sou 放浪癖 is a third generation Japanese kennel run by the family of Zyath Estate's Rika Hanoka. Horoheki is focused on preserving the Shikoku Ken, Hokkaido Ken, Mino Shiba, Hmong Bobtail, and Perro del Mar. The kennel specializes in Large Game Hunting -particularly wild boar, bear, and deer- and does Weight Pulling on the side. Working ability is prioritized over Conformation.

Kennel Aldford is an affluent coursing kennel, stable, and aviary founded in 2022 with a specialization in the Kyrgyz Taigan, Greyhound, and Whippet. Ran by Esere Alexandrine Benedikte af Rosenborg, of the Rosenborg royal lineage, the kennel focuses on track racing, field coursing, and wolf hunting and all Ald dogs are trained on horseback and hunted with raptors. Conformation is not prioritized and most Ald dogs are freeze branded as puppies.
