South Of England Pomeranian Club

SOUTH OF ENGLAND POMERANIAN CLUB  
OPEN SHOW  
Sunday 30th January 2022 

Breed Specialist Judge - Mrs Paulette D’Arcy (Paavali)

It was an absolute honour and pleasure to be invited to judge The South of England Pomeranian Club Show. Thank you to the committee and exhibitors for providing me with this wonderful opportunity to evaluate and have an insight as to where our wonderful breed is currently. 

I found movement to be better than when I last judged. Teeth were cleaner and dentition better. Fontanels were mostly closed, coats were correct and well presented, however a round eye and foxy heads (not expression) had increased. 

The Special beginner’s class had the largest entry today. Maybe to support these new exhibitors interest a special beginners award could be presented at future shows? 

Our dogs are a part of our family first and it was lovely to see so many exhibitors having a wonderful and productive bond with their charges.  

I found gems where I didn’t expect to and was very pleased with my winners.
