Thank you to the committee for the invitation & exhibitors for the entry. Whilst I was pleased with my main winners, overall the quality was lacking. To me the words ‘multum in parvo’ say everything you need to describe a Pug. Where are the large heads with soft expressions? Where is the bone & substance? Before it is lost forever, breeders need to take stock & inspiration from the great champions this breed has seen over the years.
