3rd World Afghan Congress Report #6
David Frei (USA) Page4And once again, that fabulous video from San Diego was shown to close the official proceedings of the Congress. The video, which has not been shown publicly since the last Congress, will make its next appearance at the next World Congress in Sydney, Australia, in the year 2000.
A wonderful dinner buffet and dance on Thursday night, supported by the Scandinavian Afghan Hound Clubs, and a barbecue dinner on Friday that had to be moved off the hotel beach and indoors due to rain, provided many opportunities for additional discussions and socializing. Other Americans joining Paul, Donna, Dennis and me at the Congress were Duane and Connie Butherus, Kathy Aure, Betty Stites, Barb and Lee Bornstein, Debbie Eschbach, Julie and Emmet Roche and Jay Hafford.
Saturday, the 25th anniversary specialty of the Danish Afghan Hound Club took place near the hotel, giving Congress attendees the chance to sit ringside and visit about the events of the past two days and about Afghan Hounds in general. I have always said that the Afghans that I have seen in Scandinavia could compete anywhere in the world (as Rafael de Santiago said at the World Congress in San Diego, a good Afghan is a good Afghan anywhere in the world), this entry did not disappoint in that respect. A Danish-bred dog, Ch. Boxadan's Double Trouble, now owned and exhibited in the U.S. by Jay Hafford, took top honors at the show under Australian Judge Edwina Thomas. Interestingly, an American bred bitch, Ch. Korelec's Kilamanjaro, was the Bitch CC shown by its new owner, Auge Gjetnes of Norway. (The SBIS dog was not shown the following day at the European Dog Show since its breeder was judging.)
