Bath Canine Society

Breed: French Bulldog

I was really pleased to be invited to Judge at Bath, after 15 years living with this beautiful breed and judging them I was pleased to reach this point and privileged to have such a lovely quality entry. I am more convinced than ever that you cannot judge this breed from photographs or the side of the ring, getting your hands on these dogs is essential. I think the exhibitors in this breed should be praised for their commitment to health and the progress made, which is obviously important to me and many of us. I saw significant progress being made in youngsters again in this area, showing the hard work, commitment and prioritisation of health. I thoroughly enjoyed my day.
