                                                              Championship Show   

                                                                  18 October 2026  

I would like to thank the officers and committee for their kind invitation, to my stewards for their help in the ring, and to all the exhibitor's for allowing me to go over their dogs.  

I was happy with my first place winners, and a few classes could have done with a few more red cards.   

The one thing that keeps cropping up is flat pointy feet, this is not what is required , the breed standard asks for thickly padded, cat like feet, trimming plays a part but I think this is something to watch.
