Thank you to all who entered – I like to say thank you to my 2 stewards who kept my ring flowing. In general the dogs were well presented with just a few who had staining to their faces etc and one exhibit who was full of knots on the rear end which I cannot understand that if you are going to pay to enter a show (and it isn’t cheap nowadays) why not make the effort to present your dog to the best. There were a few exhibits who could have done with a bit more weight to them and muscle tone which will also improve the movement and I did find a couple with very loose patella’s. My other concern was that some young exhibits (not puppies I will add) who had many teeth missing including one who had no bottom teeth at all and this can affect the overall appearance of the face/jaw. My main winners were all very well presented and I look forward to watching how the youngsters progress. 

 

I would also like to add well done to the young handler who won 5th place in Junior bitch – I found out afterwards that this is the first time he has shown a Japanese Chin and a dog he didn’t know – he did an excellent job and handled the dog sympathetically and to her best and I hope he appreciated the advice I gave him once I had placed him the class, well done young man you can handle my dogs anytime and we need encourage more youngsters to come into our lovely breed
