French Bulldog Club Of England

FBCE open show 21st July 2024

I would like to thank the committee for the invitation to judge this show, I felt extremely honoured.

I would also like to thank every exhibitor for their entry and giving me the opportunity to put my hands on and judge their dogs. All temperaments were excellent, it was a very long and hot day but all the dogs took it in their stride, breathing very well through nice open nostrils. Some decisions were very difficult indeed and came down to such things as tighter feet or darkness of eye’s etc.
