Sunny's notes on breeding AfghansB: Distressing observations from today's Show Ring

1. correct Afghan temperament
2. overall proportions - short legs, tube bodies
3. trimming - How appaling the trimmed Afghan is, or should be to anyone who knows and loves the breed.

The New Look

Some lines incorrectly bred produce consistent characteristics uncalled for in the Standard. Read and follow the Standard - that is the ONLY correct type.

More is not better!

"The impression of a somewhat exaggerated bend in the stifles due to profuse trimming has led to exaggerated, but not correct rear angulation today."

****** **** and the need to evaluate
Put up by breeder judges and yet --

List Faults:
1. light round eyes
2. straight tail
3. cow expression
4. poor topline
5. high shoulders
6. unsound coming and going
