Last weekend, the premises of the National Cynological Center of the Customs Committee in Tashkent welcomed numerous visitors, including professional breeders and animal enthusiasts. A major canine celebration named 'Dog festival. Autumn - 2026' was held there, organized in collaboration with the Alfa Dog cynological center.
The festival program was rich and included several significant events. Among them were the national dog exhibition 'Anor - 2026' (held according to CAS ranking), the purebred German Shepherd exhibition 'Club Cup. Autumn 2026', featuring both standard and long-haired varieties, as well as the specialized hunting dog exhibition 'Hunting Dog Speciality' and the 'Champions Show' competition.
The 'Hunting Dog Speciality' section attracted particular interest from experts and the public. Representatives of twelve different breeds competed in this area, including Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Afghan Hounds, Salukis, Jack Russell Terriers, German Drahthaars, Hungarian Vizslas, Weimaraners, Beagles, Pointer Terriers, as well as Russian and English Springer Spaniels.
The judging panel assessed participants based not only on their appearance and adherence to international standards but also on their temperament, training, and general working qualities. The winners of the shows were awarded honorary cups.
The event transcended the format of a purely professional competition, becoming a true city celebration for families. Guests had a unique opportunity to learn about rare breeds and receive consultations from experienced cynologists regarding training rules and animal care.
