National Chow Chow Club

The National Chow Chow Club held its Championship Show at Brackley Recreation Centre, Northants on Sunday November 13th 2022, where Dog CC BOB & BIS was MONANIKA DE JA VU, Bitch CC BOS & RBIS was TANLAP TALISKA and BPIS was RENDEL ROCK CHICK.

My First Championship Show appointment and my thanks to the committee and exhibitors for a memorable day. I thank those exhibitors, many of whom travelled a long distance to attend, especially in the current climate of rising costs in fuel, food and utility bills, for the opportunity to judge their dogs. All of who were impeccably behaved. I would also like to thank my most efficient stewards, for their support and ability to keep things moving.

Masculine head without exaggeration, good reach of neck, lovely expression with a broad flat skull, well placed neat thick ears used to his advantage, well padded muzzle, dark, clean eyes of correct shape and depth, correct scissor bite with good pigmentation, short coupled with good spring of rib and broad deep chest, well off for bone with neat “cat-like” feet, high tail set, good top line and overall profile. Presented and showed exceptionally well with correct stilted gait. His ‘Fly away” tail I forgave him for. It was a great pleasure to award him the CC, BOB & BIS. Believe this is his First CC.
