Three Counties Pekingese & Cavalier Society

Three Counties Pekingese & Cavalier Society Open Show – 26th February 2023

Judge – Mrs Kelly Hampton-Lee (Kelrick)

I would like to thank the committee of the Three Counties Pekingese & Cavalier Society for inviting me to judge at their Open Show, and for my lovely gift and card. I would also like to thank my steward Stewart Campbell who did a wonderful job of organising the ring for me and keeping everyone on track. It was a lovely friendly show at a new venue and there were lots of positive comments all day and plenty of smiling faces. Although the show clashed with a CKCS Breed Assessment Day and another local open show, I was delighted with the number and quality of the dogs on the day. Thanks to all the exhibitors who attended with their lovely dogs and accepted my decisions in such a sporting manner.

Best of Breed: Rees’ Embeth Rock The Boat

Reserve Best of Breed: Jackson’s Fortunamajor Shining Star

Best Puppy in Breed: Rishtte I’m Tanisha of Remmya
