Sovereign Pekingese Association

I would like to thank the Sovereign Pekingese Association for inviting me to judge their Championship Show 2026. I was delighted to accept and thrilled in my first appointment to judge CC’s.  I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those that entered under me bringing their quality dogs from renowned kennels. I had a super entry of 66. Our breed is very difficult to judge from the ringside and to have the ability to be hands-on with many well-constructed and sound dogs was a real pleasure 

The Sovereign committee decorated the hall beautifully and their efforts were appreciated by myself and I’m sure the exhibitors and the show ran very smoothly. I also would like to thank my steward.

The Sovereign also organised for Dr Andreas Schemel to give up his professional time to RFG test so many of our wonderful breed present on the day.
