We find Jag a very Honest Afghan Hound. He is an asset to the breed.
Jag is always breeder owner handled. He is never strung up, or raced around
the ring, stands square on his own, with his head held high and proper tail.
Jag is as natural as his coat patterning. He is standard size, He has the
"King of Dogs attitude", He has correct Movement-Balance-Lift and Power,
He is Sound, He is very masculine in every way, Head, Muscle and Stamina.

Thank you to all the judges for your comments. We agree 100%. Jag has the bowed
rear we demand at JoVan, a correct croup, and natural ringed  tail. His neck of good
substance smooth into his shoulders with a set under front. Jags head is a masculine
chiseled head, with small dark eyes and great under jaw.

The large Texas Kennel Club here in Dallas were Jag 's first shows. He was
a 9 month old untrained puppy. He went winners dog every day with a
BOB under breeder judge Carol Esterkin.

Thank you judges

We are so proud of our MSBIS Ch. JoVan Cruise Control. He is NOW a
multi champion, group winning producer. He is our funny, crazy, loving pet first,
then we decided to show him and let the breed see what we saw in him. WOW!
what a journey he has given us these 3 and 1/2 years. The Top 20's 2007, 2008, 2009
unexpectedly, for he was shown very sparingly. We have loved every day
and minute he has given us. We would like THANK YOU JUDGES
