From a Specials entry of over 60, Pally was selected at the National to remain with the last 6 dogs, and the following day at the Northern Afghan Hound Specialty, gained an Award Of Merit.



Pally was exported to Kerry Pope in the USA in June this year. He made up his American Championship in a few weekends, and is available at public stud until his return to Australia in mid 2006.

Mark says of Pally in his critique: "Blue of excellent type. Lovely head and eye. An athletic dog of medium build throughout with no sign of coarseness who commanded attention. A lovely combination of strength and refinement. His angulation is balanced both ends and not overdone, which is what is needed to move with the effortless gait this dog has. His topline is excellent with again excellent detail, croup and tail. He carries himself with dignity and pride and does not need to race for his movement to be noticed. To be critical would prefer a marginally better shoulder placement but in the final run off I thought he just had a little more spring to his front and a shade more detail in topline."

In her critique, Roberta Hall describes him as follows " I was most taken by this young blue dog. He has all the essential breed characteristics and also has the style and requisite reach and drive. Lovely head and expression. Excellent eye. Strong neck, well laid shoulders. Balanced angulation fore and aft. Excellent topline, adequate croup completed by a ring tail.  Moved with purpose without being flashy. Undoubtedly a star for the future. A most impressive youngster."
