The Northern King Charles Spaniel Club.

Championship Show

At Grenoside Community Centre

On 12^th April 2008

 

It was an honour and a privilege to be invited to judge at this Breed Club Show.

My thanks to all the exhibitors for a lovely entry of 135 ( including 14 NFC ) exhibits making 150 entries. Grateful thanks to my steward Mr Colin Cross for his efficient and friendly help. I had the privilege of going over some quality dogs and some of the top exhibitors stock. Although I feel soundness has improved we are losing some the of the really good heads and we must always strive for dark eyes as so many light eyes are creeping in which does spoil the expression. I found presentation excellent in all apart from a few whole colours as was temperament apart from one growl from an exhibit who was later withdrawn from her second class.
