PAIGNTON AND DISTRICT FANCIERS ASSOCIATION

ALL THREE DAYS

I was honoured to be invited to judge these stakes each day, I had some super quality dogs every day and sadly not enough prizes cards, so each day we did a short list for further consideration.

EUKANUBA CHAMPION STAKES

Day 1

ChD/B W/P/Te 36(9)

These three dogs could easily have swapped places, but I just felt 1st had that little bit extra sparkle still to give and was still showing herself off after a long hot day.

Day 3

Ch D/B H/U 37(0)
