EAST OF ENGLAND AFGHAN CLUB
OPEN SHOW
5TH OCTOBER 2008
My thanks to the Officers and Committee of the E of E for their kind
invitation to officiate at this Club Show and for the excellent hospitality
extended to both my daughter Sharon and myself. Thanks too to my very
efficient stewards. I would like to congratulate all the exhibitors on
presenting their dogs so superbly well in such adverse weather conditions.
It was a shame that judging had to take place indoors, for this undoubtedly
affected the movement of some hounds. As I have lived overseas for nearly 10
years, all of the exhibits were new to me and I found overall quality to be
very good. Eye shape and colour has greatly improved and the majority of
hounds had good ring tails. Most of the dogs had good body condition.
Movement on the whole was good, although a few didn’t hold their toplines.
