Exhibition of the Club du SLAG 1999


Date: July 25, 1999

Location: Mansle (France)

Judge: Mr. Mansancal

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:
