Southern Counties Canine Association

Southern Counties Papillon, 31 May 2019.

My sincere thanks to the committee the invitation to award CC’s for the first time in a breed I have had an interest in for many years, albeit a fair few since I was an exhibitor of them. I was delighted with nearly 100 entries.  For me a papillon should be a natural beauty, dainty and graceful and light on its feet, some sound moving dogs unfortunately dropped a few places as for me they were too heavy. I felt the high tail was lacking somewhat in the overall entry. I would like to that my stewards for their attentiveness, efficiency and the sweeties, and to all of the exhibitors for their support in a good sized entry. I thoroughly enjoyed the appointment and certainly felt like I had a smile on my face all day.

He stands and moves so confidently and is already a showman just needs to tighten in front. BPD.
