Pyrenean Mountain Dog Club Of Great Britain

Pyrenean Mountain Dog Club of Great Britain

Open Show 11th July 2026

Many thanks to the officers and committee for the invitation to judge, to my hardworking steward who kept everything moving and of course to the exhibitors for staying so late on such a scorcher of a day! 

All exhibits had rear dewclaws. Heads were a pleasant surprise with no overly excessive stops and coarse bucket heads. In the bright sun it was difficult to assess eye colour. Some exhibits were obviously feeling the heat today which reflected in a lack of animation in side movement.
