Many thanks to the committee for the invitation to judge at their Premier show. Many thanks to the exhibitors for their entries, and to my two very able stewards for their hard work. Some top quality dogs here today and many in my group shortlists that could easily pick up a place another day.

Chihuahua LC. PG (5,2) 1 Martin’s Leathea Rockstar DJ, very well made young male, he has a well rounded apple dome skull, large expressive eyes. Large, well fringed ears which he uses at all times. Good muzzle. So well balanced throughout. Level back of good length. Tail set high and carried well. Small feet with strong pasterns. Moved out well with self importance. 2 Hughes’ Trefnanney Ziva, pretty head on this girl, dark expressive eyes, good length of body. Small feet. Prefered the topline of 1.

Japanese Chin – a lovely entry supported by the SJJC.

P(4) 1 Rooney, Green and Green Jaschin Curtain Call, caught my eye immediately as she marched into the ring. Just 6 months and still a bit raw but you can see what she will become in the future. She has a promising head, eyes dark, large and well set, with the required look of astonishment. Lovely neck into good shoulders and square body. Well angulated rear and turn of stifle. She comes alive on the move and I could not take my eyes off her. One I will follow with interest.
