Papillon (Butterfly Dog) Club Of Scotland

Thank you to the committee of the Papillon (Butterfly Dog) Club of Scotland for inviting me to judge their show. I enjoyed my appointment and was efficiently aided by my stewards Ellie & Jodie – thank you ladies. BABY PUPPY DOG (1/1) 1. Craig’s CANTOVERDE PAST AND FURIOUS (TAF) Very sweet 4m old Tri. Good eyes, large ears. Head still developing. Correct tail set & carriage. Nicely marked. Moved confidently but being a baby he was unsettled on the move. Promising pup. BBP. BABY PUPPY BITCH (2/2) 1. Davidson’s ELMARAINE ECHO ECHO Tri litter sisters. Both have similar attributes. I preferred the overall make & shape of 1 at present. Head still developing. Good eyes, still growing into ears. Good tail set & carriage. Was happy & confident, but moved on her own terms. When she did go, she went well & was free moving and true in front. Had she not been impersonating a hearth rug so often, she would have been BBP. Very promising baby. 2. Davidson’s ELMARAINE HOPE OF LIFE Smaller girl with very pretty head. Good body balance. Correct tail set & carriage. Out at elbow so front movement not as true as 1. I look forward to seeing both sisters when they are older. VETERAN DOG OR BITCH (6/6) 1.

Davidson’s ELMARINE READ THE RIOT ACT Very nice type B&W but she was not happy and I could not handle her. Owner showed bite, which is correct. Lovely head with good eye. Correct muzzle to skull proportions. Good large well set & well feathered ears. Balanced body proportions, correct tail set & carriage. Good coat. Much happier when on floor and front & rear angulation allows her to be balanced & free moving. A very nice girl who I liked a great deal, but needs to allow herself to be handled by judges if she is to go further in the ring. POST GRADUATE BITCH (3/2) 1. Breen’s AMICAE MOONFLOWER Tri girl.
