Blackpool & District Canine Society

Breed: Japanese Spitz

Blackpool Championship Dog Show  

24/06/2022


Thank you to the society for inviting me to judge Japanese Spitz at their 2022 show. After two appointments cancelled due to the pandemic, it was a pleasure. A huge thank you to all the exhibitors for giving me the honour of judging their much loved dogs. I am extremely pleased with the overall quality of my entry, although many were not pleasing in rear movement. A quick reminder that Japanese Spitz are a free standing Breed and should not need their feet placing when on the floor if constructed correctly.
