Show Type: Championship
Entries: 134 for 166
Thanks to exhibitors for the entry, which thankfully, was undercover on such a very hot day.
I was surprised at the size of the Minor Puppy dogs, which were up to size at such a tender age. I was disappointed at the lack of foot and claw care on some exhibits ? feet not properly trimmed and claws much too long for a working breed or any breed shown at a Championship show. Shaved bellies are becoming more evident – why? It’s obvious and unattractive. There were too many single coated exhibits, and not enough clean ones. I was pleased with my winners.
