The AHA is saddened to hear of the passing of Peter Harcourt-Brown, heavily involved with the breed through the Kharisar kennel. Peter and his family began the Afghan Yearbook in 1977, which is still being produced today, and remained as editor for 24 years, making a tremendous and valuable contribution to the Afghan world overall through this “living history”.

Our condolences to all his family and friends.

The officers and committee of the AHA wish all of our members and friends a very happy Christmas, and a healthy new year. We look forward to seeing you at our 2026 events !

The AHA is saddened to hear of the passing of Mike Caple.

Mike was an AHA committee member during 1997, & judged bitches at our Open Show in 1998.

His & Helen’s first Afghan was Orashan Emperor Lopan at Morsefield, a solid black male born in 1994 & bred by Roger & Gail Link. He gained his stud book number.

Mike was a devout hound specialist awarded CC’s in our breed & judged the Hound Group at Crufts in 2023.  Better known for their Beagles, Mike & Helen kept a very keen interest in our breed.

Our sympathies to Helen & their three sons & their families.

Both the critiques from our show are now on the 2025 Events page

The Association held its AGM after the Championship Show, with the following updates;

Rich Thompson has taken up the position of Chair
Emma James has taken up the position of Vice Chair
Terry O’Neill has stood down from the AHA Committee, and we thank him for his long service and dedication

Whilst we’d provisionally planned to hold the AGM on Sunday 2nd March, along with the exam, both are now postponed. After much consideration, we plan instead to hold the AGM after the Championship Show, at the Kennel Club Building, Stoneleigh on 5th May. Apologies for any inconvenience.
