Yorkshire Afghan Hound Society

I would like to thank the committee and the exhibitors for making my day judging such a pleasure.. .

I was very pleased with the quality of my entry and on a different day a lot could exchange places.

For myself I would prefer handlers to slow down when moving it is not a fast flashy FLAT charge but a springy POWERFUL stride I want to see!

Another thing I found when examining dogs a lot of them were stacked with their front legs almost under their ears as opposed to under their withers this creates an illusion of a straight front so I spent time moving legs back underneath to ascertain correct front assembly..
