Paignton & District Fanciers' Association

Paignton & District Championship Show 3/8/19

I would sincerely like to thank The Officers & Committee for inviting me to judge over two days at this lovely relaxed show. Special thanks to my stewards who did a grand job.

I am pleased to say I found no concerns in the dogs entered today, all feet appeared to be in good order and I could see no health issues to mention. I found a large variation in height in the breed and although most dogs moved soundly I found not many to have that mincing gate so typical in the breed. Coats varied a lot but I was judging the dogs overall. I found heads to be good with correct eyes.
