For real, I unfortunately haven't had such an experience in my own breed in a while at shows, the current trend is just not my type. But that Afghan had a presence-when she came into the ring I saw only her!
I saw the brother of my girl Panti in the veteran class and some other relatives. But the dog that blew me away the most was an Afghan hound girl from Chile. She's giving me goosebumps. She took the group and we all think she has good chances of winning this thing.
