                                                     CHOW CHOW

I WOULD LIKE TO START BY THANKING THE RKC FOR THE INVITATION TO JUDGE THIS SPECIAL AND MAJESTIC BREED. I HAVE OWNED THE BREED FOR 45 YEARS AND DURING THIS TIME HAVE SEEN MANY IMPROVEMENTS BUT ALSO  SOME POINTS NOT SO DESIREABLE.

GREAT THANKS TO MY TWO RING STEWARDS WHO PLAYED A VERY IMPORTANT PART IN KEEPING JUDGING ON TRACK AND ADVISING ME OF ANY ANOMOLIES. MY THANKS ALSO TO ALL THE EXHIBITORS FOR SEEING FIT TO ALLOW ME TO GO OVER THERE DOGS. I WAS GENERALLY VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE STANDARD OF DOGS PRESENTED BEFORE ME AND THEY WERE ALL PRESENTED IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
