SALUKI NOTES WEEK ENDING 19TH FEB 1999
Mr Roy Wilson of the Khonistan Salukis and Afghans has been unwell and is in the hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery. Cards can be addressed to his home which is 109 Midgeland Road, Marton, Blackpool, Lancs. FY4 5HE.
Also having to spend some time in the hospital is Mr Paul Mahon. His address is The Fells, Thurlow Road, Great Wratting, Suffolk. CB9 7HG. Paul would probably more appreciate cards at this point than calls. We wish Paul a speedy recovery.
Mrs Jane Edwards, who had her Afghan puppy stolen from her back garden last autumn Has, at lats been reunited with her dog. Jane would like to thank all the Saluki people for their help and guidance in finding him. It paid off in the end.
I was pleased to read that NEC and hence Crufts is now a smoke-free zone.

Tuesday, The Westminster Kennel Club held their annual show at Madison Square Gardens. Only Champions are allowed to enter and the entire entry is restricted, as the Garden cannot accommodate a large entry. The Saluki entry was 15 and all entry forms are taken within one hour. I understand that people stand by their fax machines and others have couriers delivering their entries to make the numerical deadline. The judge for Saluki was Mrs Jan Reital, an Afghan specialist, who visited here last summer.
The results are:
BOB,Group 1 Ch Sundown Alaabaster Treasure JC, owner Dr James D Black
BOS Ch Zahir's Zanzibar owner Christine McIntyre & Charlie Cope
Award of Merit:
Ch Gemini Phaeton Jane Eyre owned by Catherine Diener Farrell & Eric Steel,
