GCH CH Thaon’s Mowgli
The Afghan Hound is the breed that got me hooked on dog
shows. In 1968 I watched the Afghan
Hound, CH Dahnwood Gabriel, handled by Michele Leathers Billings, win BIS at
the Memphis Kennel Club show here in my hometown and I have been a dog show junkie ever since.
This past week more than 200 of the aristocratic dogs gathered in Atlanta for the 2012 National Specialty of the Afghan Hound Club of America. Helen Winski Stein had the Best of Breed judging and
she chose GCH CH Thaon’s Mowgli as her Best In Specialty Show.
Her Best of Opposite Sex was CH Jakar An Affair Most Wicked, her Winners
Dog was Regimes Thriller of Elmo and her
Winners Bitch/Best of Winners was Jama
Winsong Heavenly Delight.
It was an unprecedented fourth national title in a row for
Mowgli and breeder/owner/handler Jay Hafford.
Mowgli is currently the nation’s Number One Afghan Hound and Number Three
Hound, all remarkable accomplishments done in limited showing, Congratulations to Jay, co-breeder/owner James
Blanchard and owner Ann Sterner.
These Afghound hounds are remarcable. The meeting in Atlanta was really high quality.
