| Judge's Background & History |
Mrs. Lee Canalizo
Home: Palm Harbor, FL
Initial Breed: Afghan HoundsLee was born into a dog family. She began showing and breeding Afghan Hounds in 1961 and got into Salukis shortly thereafter with her husband, Jim, and their three children. “During the heyday of the Afghan in the 1960s and ’70s,” says Mrs. Canalizo, "I finished six generations of typey, correct-moving Afghans that did a moderate amount of group and specialty-show winning—ample rewards for a hobby breeder of that era. I finished many champions in the days of thirty-eight dogs for a major"! Her Afghan bloodlines were behind many champions of future generations.
Lee was first approved to judge Afghan Hounds in 1976 and now judges all Working, Hound, Herding, Toys & Sporting Groups and Poodles. She has written extensively on the Sighthounds and has taught at many seminars. She has held “just about every position in many clubs, both all-breed and specialty.” She is a member of the Ladies Kennel Association, the Morris & Essex Kennel Club, and the Sun Coast Afghan Hound Club.
