On August 19, the German special exhibition for the breed
Galgo Espaņol took place in Gelsenkirchen. There were 48 Galgos entered (41 of them
were presented), one Galgo entered in the honour class plus 6 Galgos non-
A special highlight was the invitation of a Spanish judge by the organizer (Windhundrennverein Westfalen-Ruhr e.V.): Seņor Miguel Gil Ferrara, who is very successfully breeding under the internationally well-known kennel "Rayma". This year's world champion Rayma Ukelele e.g., a very elegant short haired female, is coming from this kennel. It was a great challenge for a number of Galgo O.s to present their dogs to this judge.
On the evening before the exhibition, Christian Nau gave an interesting presentation about general basics of genetics and about the genetics of populations and colors.
The exhibition on Saturday was presenting some specials for all friends of the breed: at the beginning, a black Andalusian stallion (www.stimmer.de) walked in front of the dogs, Galgos and their O.s (some in Spanish dresses) followed. The showpiece was a big Osborne bull (made of cardboard), the ring was decorated in red and yellow. The guest from Spain was enthusiastic about the nice decoration.
Unfortunately, the weather was not as "Spanish" as hoped-for. In between, heavy rainfall reminded us, that we are not on the Iberian peninsula but in Germany.
The organization of the exhibition and all related parts was taken over by Gaby Hübchen, Helga Blessing and the special organizer Wilhelm van Dieken. We could closely watch how much work is involved with the organization of such an exhibition and how few people are willing to assist. It's a little bit disappointing that single persons still grumbled about the organization...
