Ros Bacich ~ Aviva

I have almost had a lifetime in dogs, introduced to the show world in 1957 , with the

purchase of a Dachshund by my family that had a “pedigree as long as your arm”. He

wasn’t a good dog, he bit us kids, he was a dud but it got my family hooked on

showing. I was interested right from the start and have been so ever since.

My first Afghan Hound , born in 1972, was BIS Ch Calahorra The Hawk, an unusual

chocolate. My second, and foundation bitch, was a daughter of legendary Ch

Calahorra Turban (and CH Furbari Kusan Kabul). Both of them were prolific winners

in the 70’s and then I bred my first litter in 1977. Since then, I have bred many

champions, BIS winners and SBIS winners and at this time, BIS SBIS CH Aviva

Venezia is still the record holder for top BIS winning owner bred and handled bitch in

Australia. Her grandson, SBIS BIS Ch Aviva T All Black JC was # 1 All Breeds in

2004. In 2013, a great grandson, BIS SBIS CH Aviva Akira was AHCNSW # 1

Afghan Hound of the Year and a multiple SBIS winner.

As a breeder I have strived to produce dogs that I like, that can perform in the field as

well as the show ring and that can live a normal healthy life as loved family pets away

from the show ring.

I enjoy the educational aspect of showing dogs, being the Hound Group coordinator

for the Judges Training Scheme for 3 years, and an accredited assessor for judges

exams for four groups. Currently I am the presenter for the members Education

Course, for the Hound Group overview, which is the first step that “would be” judges

take on the road to becoming fully licensed. I am licensed to judge Hound, Herding,

Working and Non Sporting groups. I have been privileged to judge in several

countries, judging at premier events, all breeds shows, specialties and group

specialties.

Jo Smith ~ Zhaqqari

I live in a small village called Berkeley, with my Husband (kennel boy) and 4 dogs, I

have been involved with showing and breeding dogs ever since I can remember.

I was lucky that my family through my Grandmother, bred and showed Pekes, and

also that my grandfather bred Shire horses on a small hobby scale, so I was well aware

of the world of show dogs and stock animals

My introduction to Afghan Hounds was through my grandmother and the Pekes, our

village post mistress was Dorothy Fryer, who owned a Peke, but also owned 3 Afghan

Hounds ... mother to Godfrey Fryer ( Severndene). I soon became a part of the Fryer

household, after school, on weekends and every school holiday I would be there... and

when Dorothy moved to Devon, I went to Estella and Godfrey’s, who just lived the

other end of the lane .. The first show I handled an Afghan Hound was held in the

middle of Stonehouse..I still have all the prize cards...from these early years 70 - 76.

I have bred very few litters, only when I wanted a pup myself, all my dogs live in the

house as family, so my numbers have been kept low, and all live here until the end of

their days. I have showed Afghans, German s/h Pointers, and of course Pekes as a

very young child, also dabbled in showing Chinese Cresteds and a Chihuahua ,

I was never in a rush to judge, Estella got me my first appointment without my

knowledge, without her doing that, I dare say I wouldn’t have set foot in the ring as a

Judge - I am glad she did.

Its always an honour whether it’s an Open show or a Championship show to Judge

my first love, the Afghan Hound,

I would like to thank the Committee of the Yorkshire Afghan Hound Society for

inviting me to judge bitches at their 2017 championship show,

Jo Smith (Zhaqqari)

DOGS IN CARS ON HOT DAYS.Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and the Kennel Club offers the following guidance to help you through the do's and don't's travelling to and whilst at KC licensed events.

When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a busy holiday route, and leave earlier to avoid increased time in traffic jams.

If your vehicle is not air-conditioned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good idea at all.

The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots of water available to drink.

Ensure your dog is not sitting in full sunlight. There should be plenty of free flowing air around the dog.

When at the show, never leave your dog in the vehicle.

Keep the dog in the shade - take your own shade for example a large umbrella and always have plenty of water available to drink so your dog stays well hydrated.

Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exertion, or from standing in exposed sunlight for extended lengths of time.

Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results. Please look after your dog's welfare. WARNING: IF YOUR DOG IS FOUND TO BE AT RISK FORCIBLE ENTRY TO YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE NECESSARY WITHOUT LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED. 18.Rules and Regulations or Definitions and Instructions of the nature of Rules and Regulations printed for convenience in other parts of this schedule shall be deemed to be regulations of the Committee and shall have the same effect as if they formed part of these regulations.
