Woolwich Bexley & District Canine Association

Woolwich, Bexley and District CA

5/12/21

It was an honour to judge BIS at Woolwich, Bexley & District CA Open show. Chairman, David Hutchinson, Secretary, John Swinge and their hard working Committee always put on a well run show with a lovely atmosphere and this show was no exception. I was pleased to later hear that the entry for the show was the largest it has been for many years…well done, richly deserved and long may it continue!

 BIS & BPIS went to the 11 month old French Bulldog. Having judged him in the breed and given him the top spot in a quality entry, I obviously rated him highly. Having lived with this breed for many years, I know how much they hate the cold but the cold weather didn’t affect this boy’s performance and at the end of a long day, he showed like a trooper and simply asked for the top spot. I think he will have an exciting future. RBIS the Pomeranian. Like the Frenchie, this super showman was still bang on form. He has the most lovely head, compact shape and moves around the ring with soundness and confidence, showing non-stop. In excellent coat and condition. Made a worthy runner-up. I am sure there are many future stars in the line-up for BPIS, the Frenchie taking the top spot with RBPIS going to the young Beardie. So feminine but lacking nothing at this stage in development. Pretty head and expression. Good overall conformation and a sound mover showing plenty of scope from side gait. Another with a great future and should go right to the top. Fabulous temperament and in lovely coat and condition, good luck with her.

Boston Terrier

P(3) 1st Kingsline Muskette. Ultra feminine bitch of 9 months. Lovely square shape both in head and overall outline. Dark, expressive eye, high set, thin ears, used to best advantage.

2nd Delaws Artistic Dreams. Another pleasing pup. Approaching a year and giving an equally polished performance. Liked his head and expression. Moderate neck. Good topline and shape. Just needs to drop in chest, which full maturity should bring. Moved with sufficient reach and drive.
