Great pic. Are those gulls or Afghan hound wigs?

Ha,ha, very good Ged

come to think of it, it's rare to see an Afghan Hound now isn't it. They were very fashionable at one time - but you don't see them now.

Remember Chris Amoo winning Crufts with his Afghan ?

Afghans were very fashionable in the 1970s.
Beautiful animals, but they need to run a lot.
I think they're one of the fastest dogs.
I knew somebody who had one, but the poor dog died very young.

Here's the same view over 100 years ago.
This postcard is from my collection.
(I say that because most of my postcards on my flickr page are now on somebody else's site).
