The first All-Breed Best in Show win had gone to her mother: DC Shema’s Khan Khara CD. That same year Mia was awarded a second All-Breed Best in show under judge Dr. Brandt. Although never fortunate enough to earn a National Specialty BOB, she was a National BOS winner.

Before Telling Our History, Region 8 Would Like to Take This Opportunity to Thank California, and Its Sighthound Owners for Starting Lure Coursing
REGION EIGHT (By Dean Wright) Before telling our history, Region 8 would like to take this opportunity to thank California, and its sighthound owners for starting lure coursing. Region 8 would especially like to thank Lyle Gillette, Tom Leone, Betty Blalock, Betz Leone, Bud Pine, Royce Northcott, and Nancy Oliver, Region 8 considers you the people that started lure coursing, and without your efforts there would be no history of lure coursing in Region 8. “Region Eight of 1989” dedicates the following article to “Region One of 1972,” where it all started. Our history began in Pennsylvania and Connecticut at about the same time in 1974. The Delaware Valley Afghan Hound Club and the Borzoi Club of Delaware Valley had been doing Afghan and Borzoi racing out of starting boxes for several years. When they heard of ASFA trials it was a logical step for them to start putting them on. They had several fun trials, and hosted their first sanctioned ASFA trial in the spring of 1974. This trial was open to Afghans and Borzoi only. They had a similar trial in the fall. In the spring of 1975, they hosted their first all- breed trial. Afghans were run on Saturday and all other breeds ran on Sunday. The driving force behind these clubs were Bob Sellers, Norma Jordan, Ann Filetti, and Ed Filetti. The trials were held in West Chester, Pennsylvania at Vale Vue Kennels, the home of Bob Sellers and Norma Jordan (becoming Bob and Norma Sellers with their wedding on December 30, 1975.) The trials were held in an eight acre fenced field right at their front door.

As many of you know, there were some lengthy discussions regarding the 2020 PHCA National and Eastern Regional Specialties. The conversation was at times heated and not always nice, productive or constructive. It did, however, provide us - and by that I mean the collective "us" - both the Board of Directors and the membership - with some lessons that we can take away from the entire unfortunate situation. First of all, we shouldn't ALWAYS assume we know the motives behind the other side in a disagreement. If uncertain, we should ask those questions that are nagging at us or that we find suspect, instead of attributing the worst possible motive and running with it. Secondly, we should ALL remain open to communications - once one side assumes a position or draws the proverbial "line in the sand" any effective opportunity for further communication or compromise has been lost.
