Eugene Blake
(USA🇺🇸)
MR. EUGENE BLAKE of Tulsa, Oklahoma
began his career in dogs in 1954 as a dog bather at a French Poodle grooming Shop in Houston, Texas. Mr. Blake credits Hazel Hamm and Jimmy Andrews, his mentors, for schooling him about grooming, handling, and ultimately propelling him into a lifetime of purebred dogs. He attended his first dog show in 1955 and then decided he wanted to show dogs and became an All-Breed licensed handler in 1968. He showed dogs professionally for some 33 years, then, he retired, and became a judge. During that time, he bred Poodles, Cocker Spaniels, Italian Greyhounds, Maltese, Yorkshire Terriers, Salukis, and Afghan Hounds. He never bred more than 4 litters of any of one breed. As a handler he helped many of his clients with their breeding programs, including choosing studs, and picking puppies. As a professional handler, he piloted multiple breeds to number one rankings. Notable achievements include handling a Saluki named Karim into the top 10 rankings All-Breeds, and winning the Hound Group at Westminster in 1973, with an Afghan Hound named Apollo.
Brett Hamilton
(AUS/SE 🇦🇺🇸🇪)
Tells Kjavu kennel
Brett Hamilton is a second-generation Afghan Hound breeder born in Melbourne, Australia. His parents, Colin and Helen Hamilton of ‘Kjavu’ Kennels in Australia, have been breeding top-quality Afghan Hounds for four decades. Together with his parents, they have bred, owned, and shown well over 100 champions, winning over 150 All Breed Best In Shows and multiple all-breed top dog of the year awards in Australia.
As a teenager, Brett began his judging career, and at just 21 years of age, he became one of the youngest judges ever in Australia to be licensed for the entire Hound Group. In addition to judging in Australia, Brett has judged throughout the USA and Europe. His first judicial task in America was in 2009, making him the youngest judge in AKC’s history to judge the Hound group at 21 years of age.
In 2017, Brett was granted permanent residency to live in Sweden and has now had his Australian (ANKC) Judging license transferred over to the Swedish Kennel Club.
More recently, Brett, with his fiancée Camilla Tell-Collinge, has had great success exhibiting/breeding with the combination of both families’ kennels, Tells & Kjavu, producing multiple BIS/SBIS winning Champions, including Norway’s Top Dog All Breeds (2023).
Brett attended his first Afghan Hound World Congress in Sydney 2000, and this is his first time coming to Hungary.

Von der Chocly kennel
I was born in Germany 1955 and had my first contact with an Afghan Hound at the age of 6 years.
He belonged to my aunt and from this moment I was fascinated by this breed! 1987 I got my first Afghan Hound male, Multi Ch. Gatsby von der Cihole, mother was Begum von der Irminsul and his father was the famous Multi Champion Kyros von Katwiga.
My late partner Peter Klinge and I founded our kennel „von der Chocly“ , in 2009 and some of our Afghans became champions in different European countries. In 2002 I went on with my judging licence , for Afghan Hound, Saluki, Sloughi and later on for Taigan and Silken Windsprite.
With great pleasure I am looking forward to judge the Afghans on the World Congress in Budapest.
For me a great honour to be invited to this event and I want to thank the Board oft he AHWC.
