1st. CH RAKUCHIN KENJI NA (MS T & MS S PEARCE & HANN). CC & BOB. I was extremely impressed with this lovely dog. His good quality silky coat is beautifully presented and he shows to great advantage but he also bears close inspection as there is so much to admire about him. Decent breadth of skull, good nose pad and good breadth of muzzle which is

well cushioned. Cobby and compact with fine bone, good ribs and excellent topline and tailset. A very classy Chin.

Veteran - Bitch

1st. CH STEPHETER WANNA SHOUT FOR RAKUCHIN (MS T & MS S PEARCE & HANN). I never thought I would give a CC to a bitch of nearly ten years of age but she looked lovely today and I couldn’t deny her.
