SALUKI BREED NOTES WEEKENDING 19THFEBRUARY 2021
 
Carolyn McCormick Smith, Secretary of the SGHC has posted “The Committee has decided to postpone the Limited Show scheduled for 11thApril till June 20th, and hold it alongside the Open Show.  The 2021 AGM is also postponed.  
The Kennel Club has now advised that it is possible to hold AGMs by post, so we propose to do that for the 2020 AGM.  Papers will be sent out indue course.  If that is successful, it may be considered for the 2021 AGM as time will be short on the day of the show” 
As the Club is unable to hold a traditional AGM, I assume the Agenda will not contain special business for discussion.  This Agenda will be the judges and accounts for 
2019.
 
“The Saluki’ The magazine of the Saluki or Gazelle Hound Club, issue 2021 will come out to coincide with Crufts, as per usual.  So, the magazine will be available on hound day which is the 15thJuly 2021.  Time to start thinking about those article and adverts.  Diana Klein, the editor is available for advice and questions you may have.  She can be contacted by email at:editorsalukimagazine@gmail.comor telephone

I had some problems setting our site up originally, then I read that if you add an extra “zero” in the front of your dog’s Kennel Club registration number, it will work, and it did. 
 
A reminder to all Saluki owners to check information on the web site Saluki Archives and make sure all your information is correct and up to date. This is especially relevant to health testing.  Also, a reminder to have your dog tested for NCL.  We want to irradiate this terrible disease and we can with the DNA tests we have available.
