A number of Breed Clubs are supporting the Show by donating rosettes, prizes or money and as in the past our main sponsor is Eukanuba. We are delighted that the Southern Afghan Club are once again running their Open Show back to back with ours. This gives exhibitors the advantage of two shows, under two judges, on one day at the same venue.
The facilities include on-site catering (for those not bringing – or forgetting their picnic).
The officers and committee will be delighted to give a warm SEHC style welcome to new and old exhibitors alike. This is a must for any hound owner's diary – the one show not to be missed. Extensive breed specials, KC Good Citizen, various stakes, junior and adult handling classes. Each year we support a Charity through our Stakes Class, in 2010 it was G.A.P., we also offered them room for a stall.
