I HAD JUDGED THIS BREED AT CRUFTS IN 2020 SO IN A NUMERICALLY SMALL BREED NORMALLY PREFER A LARGER GAP BETWEEN APPOINTMENTS BUT I TOOK OVER JUST A FEW WEEKS BEFORE FROM ANOTHER JUDGE. THE BREED IS SADLY SUPPORTED A LOT OF THE TIME BY MAINLY ONE BREEDER WHICH IS A SHAME BUT THE DOGS WERE OF GOOD TYPE AND THE ENTHUSIAM OF THE EXHBITORS WAS GOOD TO SEE. TEMPERAMENTS WERE GOOD.
