Richmond Dog Show Society

Breed: French Bulldog

Richmond

French Bulldog

I was very impressed with the dogs entered today. Breeders have maintained the good health of the dogs in the ring, no breathing issued at all, and of course great temperaments. The phrase ‘gentle rise over the loin’ will mean different things to different people, I thought a few were just rather too gentle.
