I really enjoyed the Pugs today. I was pleased with the quality of the exhibits. As ever, they are a challenge sometimes to examine on the table but their temperaments without exception were delightful. No real health concerns, just one or two with slightly pinched nostrils and a couple of over nose wrinkles. Thank you to the very sporting exhibitors and to my two excellent stewards.
