The Northern Afghan Hound Society

Breed Championship Show

Saturday 25th June, 2022

Judge: Mrs. B.M. Kennedy

I would like to thank all committee members, especially my stewards, for such a good day, even though the weather was not too kind to us. Realising when the thunder started why I had a thumping headache. A few dogs were also not too happy with the weather.

As many of you know, I have not been to many dog shows for some time. I have been following results and seeing videos, thanks to the people concerned. My last show was Manchester this year. Besides not knowing many of the names of people or the breeding of dogs, I was quite disappointed with the change in quality of the breed.

Thank you to all exhibitors who entered under me, you really gave me a hard task, the quality of dogs was superb. Thank goodness the quality is coming back. I had a lovely final line up, every one of the dogs deserved top honours.

A minute’s silence held for Marge Barber brought tears to many of her friends eyes. Many happy memories. “You could have asked for better weather Marge”.
