I was fortunate enough to have attended the Afghan Hound

World Congress in South Africa in May 2005.  It was a wonderful

experience.  I made many good friends, visited a beautiful country

and learned a lot from the speakers and guests presenting at

the Congress.  The venue was spectacular at the Sun City Resort.

Everyone involved with the Congress did a wonderful job and it 

was extremely well organized.  

After the Congress, we visited the Pilanesberg Game Reserve

and saw a variety of exotic animals close up.  I would encourage 

everyone to attend at least one World Congress, it's definitely

worth the trip.  

The next Afghan Hound World Congress will be held in Sweden 

on July 7-8, 2008 near Stockholm and will be a collaboration 

of the Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian Afghan Hound clubs.  

The World Dog Show will be held on the weekend before. 

Sighthounds will be shown on on July 5-6th.  The website 

for the events is:  http://www.ahwc2008.com.
