Bournemouth Canine Association

Bournemouth. French Bulldog

As the day was rather warm I kept standing and moving to a minimum and tried not to dither when deciding placings. I was very impressed with how the dogs coped, no signs of distress, indeed no sign even of being hot and panting in almost the whole entry. I also found the dogs to be very well muscled up, showing they all get proper exercise. I did find quite a lot of different shapes, an toplines were very variable. I really enjoyed this entry and found a very sporting atmosphere ringside.
