Last weekend was very busy with two championship shows in one day.  We did
not attend but from all reports it was a good day for getting together after the long lockdown.  The down side was it was extremely hot.  So hot that there were reports of heat exhaustion and dehydration.  Some exhibitors were not able to go into the group as they were so unwell.  Thankfully most cars have air condition in then so they could have cooled down by the time they arrived home. 
 
The first show was the Hound Association.  Judging Salukis was Hound Specialist Jerry Robertson.  DCC, BOB was Jeannette Glaister’s Ch Vanechka Otis S Berega Turi JW Sh CM ((MP RUS) with the RDCC Nicola Quadling’s Classicus Alron with Malenkhai.  BCC for her first CC went to Denise Garratt & Sue Oakey’s Caryna Remeny.  She was born on the 17th February 2019.  Her breeder is her owner.  Her sire is Caryna Eris and dam Ch Caryna Neferti. RBCC went to Mary Sanders Parker’s Ch Classicus Britannia JW Sh CM.  Best Puppy was Jeannette Glaister’s Impala Zia Dexter the Gambler (IMP USA).  Best Veteran went to Alexandra Cole and Stephen Bruynder’s El Ubaid Yaweh’s Gift and Best Special Beginners went to Linda Ward’s Caryna Manantena at Backtor 
In the Viscount Chelmsford Memorial Stakes Classes congratulation to the Littlechild’s Ch Classicus Baroque at Ravensett for winning.
 
The second show was The Northern Saluki Club Championship Show.  Judging was Dr John Hudson (Glenoak Salukis). BCC, BOB and BIS was Mary Sanders Parkers Ch Classicus Britannia JW Sh CM with the RBCC to Anna & Ben Freegard’s Mumtaz Asteria.  DCC for his first CC went to Christine Campling’s Classicus Octavius.  He was born on the 31st July 2019 and his breeder is Mary Sanders Parker.  His sire is Classicus Azim for Bodercot and Dam, Ch Noushzad Claudia-Classicus.
