Birkhall Annabel
Sire: Phelezzi Perseus
Born: 9th May 2004
SKC (Aug) 2008 - Luna wins 1st Limit Bitch and RCC!!!!
Often referred to as "Loopy Luna" she's a girl who just loves being the centre of attention! Her tail is constantly wagging and she is the most talkative Afghan I have ever met.... Come and give her a cuddle at the next show and she'll sing you a song 
Luna is a great favourite of my daughter Katie, they love nothing better than a walk through the fields together.
Luna sings us a song!!!

Critiques
SKC Championship Show - August 2008
Limit Bitch (7)
1st Birkhall Annabel. Lovely balanced bitch, good head & expression, good reach of neck into well placed shoulders, well bodied with good spring of rib & deep chest, level top-line, good quarters, nice free easy mover. RCC.
Judge - Elizabeth McKnight (Azrams)
AHA Championship Show - July 2008
Post Graduate Bitch (19,3)
Birkhall Annabel. Beautiful moving black & silver in full coat of correct texture, seemed to enjoy showing off her many virtues. Feminine in head, good in body and seems to have all the Afghan virtues.
Judge - Anna Paton (Amudarya)
Blackpool Championship Show - June 2008
Mid Limit Bitch (8,1) - also in last 4 for CC.
1st Birkhall Annabel, impressive powerhouse of a black & silver bitch who is not only attractive standing, but truly comes into her own in movement, stands very firmly on her legs & looks a real hunter, attractive expression, looking through you & not at you, strong neck, excellent topline. Excellent coat quality, good saddle, but does not need any more coat than this. Well ringed tail, very energetic & dynamic movement & must be quite a handful to present. Wonder if she will be appreciated in the UK, but she could easily be made up a CH in any other country.
Judge - Espen Engh (Norway)
Afghan Hound Club of Scotland - April 2008
Open Bitch (5,2) - Reserve Best in Show
1st Birkhall Annabel Back & silver excellent coat & body. Lovely headed feminine hound. Dark eye, well set ear. Clean lines all through, no lumps and bumps, just clean lines. Moved well, would love to see her outside. Deep chest, fair spring of rib, firm loin. Well held topline. Prominent hipbones. Ring tail, well set and raised on action. Good length from hip to hock, strong hocks used to drive well on move.
Judge - Mark Ord (Marnadee)
