is the newsletter for the SA-FA members. It is published four times a year and there are
about 130 pages per issue. Together with all the kennel and owners' advertisements,
there are also many different articles and series, e.g. the genetics of colour inheriting
written by Annika Kutilainen. Interviews with old-timers and experts have also been
another popular issue. In the 1/97 issue there was an interview with Juliette de
Baïracli-Levy done by Annika Kutilainen. The
magazine is published in Finnish, but a great part of the advertisements is in English.

Afgaani-Afghanen 4/97 Birgitha Runmarker gave an interview on Tazi Blue Devil, an import
from the USA in the seventies. Devil became an important stud dog and his lines were
incorporated by several Scandinavian breeders, and he sired 24 litters. |

A series
throughout the years has been the breeder interview in the Nordic countries, e.g. the El
Khyria interview published in the Afghan Hound Review was originally published in
Afgaani-Afghanen. There have been articles on
prominent stud dogs and brood bitches, that now appear in many of the contemporary
pedigrees.
In every issue there are information about planned and born
litters, test results from eye and hip examination, coursing
information, show results, input from the readers and the junior handlers have their own
page.
There are also all kind of reports from different events,
e.g. the international Afghan Hound World Congresses in 1992, 1994 and 1997. |
