French Bulldog

Leeds City and DCA 26/07/25 Jane Morgan Ling Tytorro

Firstly I would like to thanks Leeds City and DCA for inviting me to judge their Championship show, my two wonderful stewards who kept my ring in super order and of course, all the exhibitors who honoured me with their entries. The largest entry of the day infact.

After being away from the show ring for a while I was delighted to see so many superb quality dogs and I had some extremely hard decisions to make in large classes resulting sadly in dogs who deserved awards going unplaced.The majority were shown in super condition and presented well groomed.Just a very few would benefit from a little more attention .

I also want to thank the breeders for their commitment to breeding healthy, typey dogs adhering to the breed standard.My overall winners ticked every box for me and hopefully my critique will show this. I probably sound like a broken record but the dogs critiqued here were all what I looked for according to breed standard, condition and health.
