Manchester Dog Show Society

A lovely entry of just over 100 dogs on my first appointment in the breed at this level. I was very impressed with the overall condition and temperaments on show. Dentition was good throughout. It was pleasing to see a lot of promising puppies. It bodes well for the future.

Delighted to see my Best of Breed looking so well in the group. She certainly had plenty of admirers.
