2021

Sunday 29th August saw us holding our 5th show in recent years having missed out in 2020 due to Covid 19. Thanks to Grant Carter, the Committee and members of The English Ibizan Hound Club for allowing us to share their venue at Baginton Village Hall again.

Our judge for the day was Mrs Amanda Carter (Afilador) who is well known to our breed and is a previous owner.

Our steward for the day was Mrs Jeanette Glaister who most will know from the saluki rings. Mr Nick Carter once again kindly offered to act as our photographer. We had an entry of 9 dogs but 2 of these were absent.

The show was held outdoors, and despite it being a Bank Holiday weekend the weather was reasonably kind to us.

Once again we held a raffle with many lovely prizes donated by members, with the proceeds from this, and a small amount from spectator dogs we raised £120.00, some of this I feel sure will be sent to a charity but no decision has been made yet as to which one.

This year we felt we were unable to run the kitchen as normal because of Covid restrictions so The Sloughi Club asked it's members and guests to bring food that could be shared by all as a summer picnic. thanks to everyone, but once again Carol excelled with the cakes.

We would like to thank everyone for their generosity with prizes and donations towards the beautiful rosettes. Special thanks must go to our judge for the beautiful engraved glasses that were presented to the principal winners.

Once again we gratefully thank Nick Carter for his offer to act as official photographer.

JUDGES CRITIQUE

I would like to start by saying a huge thank you to the sloughi club committee for asking me to judge their club show. I have had a lifelong interest and love for this special breed and I have had the great pleasure of owning and showing them. A delightful breed to live with. The sloughis present today where all of excellent quality and type and all displayed excellent temperaments too. As a hunting dog, the correct condition is essential and I am delighted to find them all in excellent muscular condition and carrying enough condition to enable them all to be fit for function.

Class 1 Veteran Dog

1st was Atkinson & Godfrey's Sahsheer Ishara at Longhedge ShCM

7-year-old dog, sand with black mask. Strongly built dog. Masculine head with large eye displaying the correct wistful expression. Correct-shaped, triangular ears carried correctly. Scissor bite. Long neck with correct front. Body well-developed with correct tuck up and croup and correct shape. Good hindquarters with long well developed second thigh. Correct feet. On the move he is free and effortless, clean coming and going and very much looks the part in profile. In excellent condition.

Class 2 Veteran Bitch

1st was Chapman-Damms' Int/Dutch/Bel CH Sahsheer shaina Khali

7-year-old bitch, sand with black mask. Feminine bitch. Lovely head with large eye and has that far-away exotic expression. Correctly shaped and held ears. Scissor bite. Long neck into correct front. Correct body, well muscled and correctly held top-line. Strong hindquarters, with correct muscling. Correct feet. On the move she freely and effortlessly covered the ground without exaggeration. Tail carried well on the move.

Class 3 Special Veteran dog or bitch over 10yrs

1st was Clark's Falconcrag Daiouni of Thiefside

11½ years old sand bitch. Another feminine bitch who really thought this showing lark was so yesterday. She really made me smile. Pretty head, with the required dark eye. Neat ears, which she tended to carry folded back. Scissor bite. Good length of neck into correct front. Mature body with good condition and muscle tone. Correct feet. Showing her age in her hindquarters now, but really moves out well and soundly and to complete the picture carries her tail well.

Class 4 Puppy

no entries

Class 5 Special Yearling

1st was Atkinson & Godfrey Gwasila Nuri Al Baida

Just under 2 years old brindle dog. Solidly-built dog. Masculine head with correct eye which matches coat colour and has the correct expression. Correctly shaped and carried ears. Scissor bite. Long neck into correct front. Good body development for his age, with strongly held top-line. Has excellent muscle tone. Correct feet. Strong hindquarters. Moves well in profile, but today I felt he just needed to settle in front, but this I am sure will come with maturity. Tail carried correctly.

Class 6 Post Grad

1st was Smith's Luke Lacar Manhanajim IMP DEU

Just over 18months old sand dog with black mask. Such a handsome young dog. Excels in head and expression with lovely dark eye and correct ears held correctly. Scissor bite. Long neck into desired front. Good body development for age, which just needs to mature and develop further. Another young dog with excellent muscle tone. Correct feet and hindquarters. Today needed to settle in movement. Just a little loose and immature, but shows well when more settled. Correct tail, displaying the sloughi curve which so many do not have.

Class 7 Limit

no entries

Class 8 Open dog

1st was Woodgate Boggia & De Souza's Xandu Khan Schuru-esch-Schams IMP

3-year-old dog, sand with black mask. A handsome and refined dog. Correct head with dark eye, and with the correct wistful expression. Correct ears held correctly. Scissor bite. Long neck into correct front. Correct body with strong well-muscled hindquarters. Correct feet. Totally full of himself today which affected his tail carriage. Moved out with an effortless gait. A real joy to watch, really loved him.

Class 9 Open Bitch

1st was Clark's Magida Sabiih Al Sahra at Thiefside IMP

3-year-old bitch, sand with black mask. What a stunning young lady. Classic, correct head with large dark eye with that exotic look. Correct ear shape, carried correctly.
