Since the Sighthound Club of Sweden has come to the conclusion of moving their "Skokloster Summer Show" from Mariefred to Lövudden in Västerås, the Afghan Hound World Congress 2008 will follow the change of town.

We are very pleased to get this opportunity to hold the Congress here in Västerås, namely at the Elite Stadshotellet. In addition, the show venue in Lövudden, right outside the city centre of Västerås is well known as a functional place for dog shows in Sweden. For example, there will be plenty of space for the rings and ringsiders, excellent facilities for car parking, the hotels and other activities closely situated - and of course not forgetting the beautiful city of Västerås!

We truly hope this change of venue will not cause any problems for your planned trip, and in fact, we are very much looking forward to this fantastic row of events here in Sweden next summer: 
The World Dog Show, The Afghan Hound World Congress, 
The Afghan Hound Club Show and The Sighthound Specialty Show! 
  
  

 There is an airport in Västerås where you can fly for example by Ryan Air. The airport Arlanda/Stockholm is approximately a 1-hour drive from Västerås.

Though the World Dog Show in Stockholm is held the weekend before the Congress - Afghans being judged on Saturday the 5th of July with the Best In Show finals on Sunday the 6th of July - it will be possible to stay in Västerås during the whole "cirquit": the World Dog Show as well as the Afghan Hound World Congress (in Elite Stadshotellet in Västerås) and the “Skokloster Summer Shows” (held at Lövudden, right outside Västerås).
