Richmond Dog Show Society

Richmond. Smooth Coat Chihuahua

The ring probably wasn’t ideal with a few dips and some long grass, quite a few were picking their feet up high, making my task harder. I was very happy with my main winners and able to find dogs with good body proportions. I was alarmed at how many overshot bites there were.
