The Show Scene The Australian Capital Territory is home to Australia's national capital, Canberra. While its population is relatively small it has a dedicated band of Afghan exhibitors and its close proximity to Sydney (3 hours by road) and Melbourne (6 hours by road) makes it a short trip for travelling Afghan exhibitors. This ensures that the two breed Specialty Shows held there each year are very competitive.

Afghan Hound Club of the ACT The Afghan Hound Club of the ACT is Australia's newest Afghan Breed Club. It was formed in the late 1990's and is a very active club. It regularly holds two Specialty Shows each year mainly featuring Australian Breed Specialist judges. These shows are always well attended.
