The French Club du SLAG represents the Galgo
Espaņol besides some other breeds (Sloughi, Azawakh,
Pharaohound, Podenco, Podengos Portugaises and Cirneco). This
year, the "Nationale d'Elevage" took place in a small
village close to Angoulême.
According to the time of the year, it was hot -
almost impossible to stay in the sun for a long time. But in the
shadow of the trees beside the exhibition place, where the
camping cars and tents were placed, in was very pleasant. Even a
refreshment in a small river was possible.
Therefore, coursing and exhibition became
almost a minor matter for us. More important was to meet a number
of good friends again. And the absolute highlight surely was the
traditional "Gala-Dîner" on the Saturday evening.
Here are some impressions of the show:
