Northern Counties Chihuahua Club

Northern Counties Chihuahua Club

Championship Show 19th June 2026

I would like to thank the Officers & Committee for inviting me to award my first set of CCs in Longcoat Chihuahuas. It is always an honour to judge at a breed club. I was thrilled with my entry of 105 dogs! Thank you ever so much to the exhibitors for providing me with such a fabulous entry, which made a good few of the classes tricky work, with nit-picking being needed to find a class winner.

The majority of the dogs I judged were great examples of the breed. However there were a handful of poor mouths. I did not come across many overly short muzzles, but some were longer than I would prefer. The wind did affect some dog’s performances, which I allowed some wriggle-room for.

Thanks to my fantastic stewards, Chelsey & Mitzi, who kept the ring running as smoothly as possible.
